North Cascades National Park lakes will stun you with their bright blue water surrounded by rugged mountain peaks. The turquoise of the lakes is almost too bright to believe. It will wow you as you drive through the park and stare at it from amazing overlooks. If you can, you should also take some time…
North Cascades National Park hiking should be on everyone’s bucket list. Some call the North Cascades the “American Alps.” The mountains are incredibly rugged and scenic and contain over 300 glaciers! With over 400 miles of hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulties, there is something here for everyone. Watch the video below to see…
This one ranks in our top 10 favorite hikes to date! It is also one of the best Teton Valley hikes that can be done in a day. While also one of the more difficult ones we have done with kids in a while. This 6.3 round trip hike also has 1800 feet of elevation…
The Teton River flows northward through Teton Valley in Idaho. From Teton Valley there are amazing views of Grand Teton from the west. As we’ve said in our previous blog posts and vlogs of the area, it is the quieter side of the Tetons with just as spectacular views. Instead of just enjoying the valley…

Any trip to Grand Canyon National Park is bound to be a good one. Unless of course you get locked out after just a couple of days. That’s exactly what happened to us back in 2013 when we were visiting the south rim and the government shut down. All National Parks were closed for about…
This week is just a life update instead of a new travel vlog. We have been boondocking near Jacob Lake by the north rim of Grand Canyon National Park. A trip to the E.R. for our daughter plus our credit card getting stolen threw off our plans a little. Which is also a good reminder…
Only a few miles downstream from Horseshoe Bend lies Lees Ferry and Cathedral Wash. However, despite it’s close physical proximity, it takes about an hour to drive there from Page, AZ!
