4 Wheeling in Canyonlands National Park
Driving the White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park has been on my bucket list since I first saw the road from high atop the plateau back in 2015. We had plans to spend time in Northern California and Oregon in September 2024 but there were wildfires so we ended up in Utah where there […]
A Week In Northern Arizona
Summer 2024 we spent a week deep in the forest of northern Arizona. It was a more chill vacation than I’m used to but it was absolutely fabulous. We stopped in Flagstaff for two nights on the way north to break up the drive. It just so happens that it was really hot the week […]

I think that’s one of the things I love most about visiting new places, especially the national parks. Pictures are beautiful, but they can never capture the awe […]
