Craters of the Moon National Park is a pretty incredible place. It sure feels like you have to really want to come here in order to make it all the way out to this area, but once you get here it is very worth it. (Wir haben neulich Craters of the Moon National Park besucht….
Of course this entire trip has been a giant blessing, one that we are appreciating very much and are definitely not taking for granted. Like we’ve said before, we felt like it was time to leave the DC area and move, including taking this time off for all the reasons we described. We definitely felt…
Our last hike in Grand Teton National Park was into Death Canyon. It sounds pretty ominous but we escaped unscathed. One of our water bottles though did not, when it fell to its death down some rocks and into the roaring river… (Hier sind Bilder von unsere Wanderung zu Phelps See und Todes Schlucht.) We…
Originally we weren’t planning on riding the tram, but we found ourselves with a free day with no hiking planned and thought it would be a different view of the area. The Aerial Tram originates out of Teton Village (at an elevation of 6,311 ft), and climbs to the top of Rendezvous Mountain (elevation of…

For the first several days in South Dakota, I didn’t notice that many wildflowers, or when I did, it appeared they were all the same as I’d seen in North Dakota. However, near the end of our stay, I started noticing some new and unique flowers. Whether my powers of observation were sharpening or if…
We spent two separate days visiting Yellowstone with L and A. C and I had visited it once before, and I’d already been through it one time before that, but the most geothermally active place on the planet never really gets boring since it is a little different every time you visit it. The park…
K and I have decided that the Grand Tetons must be one of the most beautiful sights we’ve ever seen. When we drove over Togwotee Pass (at 9,658 ft (2,944 m)) and first saw the Tetons, we were in awe. And that awe did not recede the entire time we have been here! This may…
We knew that there would be tons of great rock climbing in SD, and we made it a point to plan for a lot of days on which we would do this. The way K put it, we would “climb our brains out.” Of the 11 days that we were in SD, we climbed on…
For one of the days we spent in the Custer area of South Dakota we decided to head about 40 minutes south to Hot Springs and see what was there, hoping it would be more interesting than Hot Springs, AR… Sure enough, it turned out to be another resort town where the local businesses have…
