In 2019, I spent 10 days in Yellowstone National Park. Of course, we drove around and saw all the geysers, hot springs, and wildlife. But we also did a LOT of hiking. However, Yellowstone is huge. There are too many trails and I couldn’t hike them all. So I’ve teamed up with some other travel …

Earlier this year I spent 10 days in Yellowstone National Park. It’s a big park and there is a LOT to see and do. Even in 10 days, I didn’t manage to see everything. Before my trip, I did a bunch of research to figure out what there is to do in Yellowstone and which …
In June, I spent a week in Yellowstone National Park. OMG, what an incredible place! I did a bunch of research about what to see before I went, but what I forgot to do was figure out what to bring. Yellowstone presents some unique challenges for visitors. It is located in the Rocky Mountains and …

Ever since I spent a quick couple of days in Yosemite National Park, I’ve been itching to get back to California to explore of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I heard that south of Yosemite were two other less visited but equally spectacular National Parks: Sequoia and Kings Canyon. SoCal native April of The Unending Journey …
There’s something special about hiking and camping on an isolated west coast with nothing between you and Japan but the wild Pacific Ocean. Shi Shi Beach in Washington’s Olympic National Park gives you that experience, and it’s a short and easy hike to get there. I’ve made several trips to Shi Shi Beach since the …
On Easter weekend we headed to the East Bank trail on Ross Lake in North Cascades National Park in Washington. Apparently Good Friday isn’t a statutory holiday in America so we hoped it wouldn’t be crowded. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t!) Our group of seven hikers drove down in a convoy of two cars on the …
