There are so many great places to stay near Page Arizona that we decided it needed it’s own post. Page is very popular, so be prepared to spend a little bit more on a campsite then you might otherwise! Fortunately, the views are simply outstanding from pretty much all of the campgrounds in the area….
There are so many things to do and see in Page, Arizona! Originally, the town of Page was built as a housing community for the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. However, as the reservoir filled and began attracting tourists, the town grew. Of course, as tourism grew, even more natural wonders in the area became…
Setting up our house in the middle of a lava field was a pretty unique experience. With Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument just north of us, giant cinder cones dominated our views to the North and East. The tallest mountains in Arizona were to the west. We couldn’t ask for better views! On top of…
With our repairs complete, we were supposed to pick up the trailer at 5pm on a Thursday. Instead of trying to get set up and settled in the dark, we opted to spend one more night in an Airbnb and pick it up at noon on Friday. It was so good to be home! We…
We were really lucky. Things could have been much worse. A break down like this could have left us stranded on the side of the road. On top of that, we are counting our blessings because this is only our second major rv repair in our 3+ years of full-time RVing. At least this time…

Montezuma Castle National Monument lies right off of I-17, about 35 minutes south of Sedona. Technically, Montezuma Well is part of the same National Monument, but about 20 minutes northeast of the main section. Most people start at the castle and many do not even make it over to the well area. It is no…
Chiricahua National Monument had been our list for a while. It’s pretty remote. However, since it’s also in the southeast corner of Arizona, it makes for a perfect winter destination. The 8 mile drive up the scenic road is the perfect lead in to some pretty epic hiking. The reason why it is referred to…
If you ever find yourself traveling Interstate 40 in eastern Arizona, Petrified Forest National Park is a place you should not skip! It’s easy enough to make a brief stop in the north end of the park. There is a visitor center and some amazing overlooks for the Painted Desert. However, if that’s all you…
Most of our travels have been planned out in advance. Our visit to Valley of Fire State Park was kind of a spur of the moment decision on our way out of Cathedral Gorge. Since we already had a place to go if this didn’t work out, we figured why not go see if we…
