For me “Both Sides Now” has always been about

For me “Both Sides Now” has always been about seeing life differently with time — the wonder of it, the ache of it, and the love that stays after everything changes.
If you own pets you know the joy of having them beside you and the heartbreak of having to let them go, but the pure love they provide stays with us always. Doug and I were lucky enough to spend a whole month with Bailey’s sister little Tiki and it wasn’t just Maui we enjoyed. TIki made everything twice as fun and we will miss her. 🌈🐾. #foreverloved #joyfulpup #sweetsoul

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore […]
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, / In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.”
—Edgar Allen Poe
The echo of this chatty raven’s call and massive flapping wings followed Doug through much of the Wire Pass Slot Canyon. I hiked part way in and back on my own before the Raven arrived to keep Doug company! #utahslotcanyons #wirepassslotcanyon #hike #utah #raven

Descending into Buckskin Gulch means stepping into

Descending into Buckskin Gulch means stepping into one of the longest, deepest, and most dangerous slot canyons in the world. Miles (over 16 miles) of winding sandstone walls carved by flash floods over thousands of years — and every turn looked completely different from the last. One thing rarely mentioned is the geology on the hike to its opening. WARNING - be wary of flash flooding in any slot canyon but especially one this long.

Didn’t have time to hike a single step into Bryc

Didn’t have time to hike a single step into Bryce Canyon this time around, but regret absolutely nothing. Pulled up to the rim, let our jaws hit the floor, and stood there like tourists in the best possible way. Those hoodoos don’t need a trail to steal your heart so don’t let a short amount of time keep your from seeing this amazing canyon! #bryce #hoodoo #rimtrail #greatview

Zion, Bruce and Arches are on everyone’s list an

Zion, Bruce and Arches are on everyone’s list and for good reason …but there’s some really great places in Grand Staircase-Escalante NM and Capitol Reef NP that keep us coming back.
.
This visit we walked down the rugged Upper Muley Twist Canyon Road and found several incredible arches tucked into the canyon walls—the kind you don’t just stumble on, but feel like you’ve discovered.
.
From there, we climbed the Strike Valley Overlook Trail, a short but steady hike that rewards you with sweeping views of the massive Waterpocket Fold stretching for miles. This “reef” of rock once acted as a natural barrier to early travelers—giving Capitol Reef its name.
.
Rugged roads, hidden arches, and views that go on forever—these parks quietly deliver. #hikeutah #grandstaircaseescalante #capitolreef #rvadventures #getoutthere

If you’re craving adventure with a side of peace

If you’re craving adventure with a side of peace, this road delivers!

On Burr Trail Road the red rocks led the way—winding through canyons, past towering cliffs, and into the kind of solitude that feels like a reset button.

Found a tucked-away campsite under a sky so wide it didn’t seem real. Just us, the sound of the wind and the kind of stillness we didn’t realize we’d been missing.

Some places you visit but this one you play in!

Some places you visit but this one you play in!

This is Goblin Valley State Park Tucked away in Utah’s San Rafael Desert, this place feels like you landed on another planet. Thousands of bizarre, mushroom-shaped rock formations (called hoodoos) rise out of the desert floor—formed over 170 million years by wind and water erosion.

You’re free to wander anywhere—climbing, exploring, and weaving through thousands of quirky rock “goblins” like it’s the world’s biggest natural playground.

You’ll forget you’re an adult as you start climbing “just one more rock,” ducking through little passageways, making up shapes and names for every goblin you pass.

No crowds. No rules. Just imagination.

And yep—it’s so otherworldly that Galaxy Quest and City Slickers II filmed here.

Sometimes the lesser-known spots end up being the most unforgettable.

Sometimes the destination isn’t the goal at all.

Sometimes the destination isn’t the goal at all.
Living in an RV has taught us that some of the best moments happen between point A and point B—those quiet stretches of road where nature decides to put on a show just because you’re passing through.
These photos were taken early in the morning, when the world is still waking up and everything feels softer, calmer, more magical. If you’re not a morning person, trust me… it’s worth trying every once in a while. There’s something special about watching the day unfold before everyone else is even out the door.
Here’s to slow travel, unexpected beauty, and appreciating the journey just as much as the destination. #utah #rvtravel #rvadventures #enjoythejourney #greettheday

If you’re not into slot canyons, just scroll on

If you’re not into slot canyons, just scroll on by. But if squeezing through narrow sandstone corridors gets your heart racing, buckle up because this 8-mile loop near Goblin Valley is slot canyon heaven. In some spots the tight walls had me questioning my life choices (and maybe that breakfast burrito as well). Little Wild Horse Canyon doesn’t mess around—some passages are barely 3 feet wide, and we had to do the sideways shuffle between towering walls. Yes, water may be involved. Take a buddy if you’re a member of the short squad as there were multiple places that I needed either help up or help down from that tall guy I hike with. Bell Canyon on the return? Slightly more chill, but still delivering those dramatic desert vibes. Walls striped in orange, red, and cream will make your camera work overtime. This is kind of adventure that reminds you why you love the desert.
⚠️Safety First: Go counterclockwise (Little Wild Horse first—trust me), bring more water than you think you need, and DO NOT hike this if there’s any chance of rain. Flash floods are no joke in slot canyons. #slotcanyon #littlewildhorsecanyon #bellcanyon #utah #buddyhike #skiptheburrito #desertvibes #rvadventures #rvtravels #nomads #rvcouple #vanlife

It was an epic day on the Navajo Rocks loop in Uta

It was an epic day on the Navajo Rocks loop in Utah. Doug started what was supposed to be a mid-length ride on one of the top 3 intermediate trails in the area. About a third of the way through, he linked up with a crew from Boise calling themselves the “Lucky Fu$kers”. He ended up riding a 17-mile loop - the whole day turned into something way bigger. When you’re riding with good people, sharing stories at rest stops, crushing snacks, and cracking jokes on the trail, you just keep going. After the ride, we finished the day with a drive at our next stop. Goblin Valley State Park. Sometimes the best rides are the ones that don’t go according to plan. #noplannoproblem #mtblifestyle #lucky #meetonthetrail #utah #navajorocks #rvtravel

Dead Horse Point - where the views are dramatic, t

Dead Horse Point - where the views are dramatic, the cliffs are massive, and the only thing dying were my quads. Just kidding. Well only about my quads. There were definitely no dead horses. We did have some epic views including the Potash pools shimmering below and the Thelma & Louise overlook serving full-on movie drama. This relatively flat hike is atop the canyon so it’s key to do the out and backs to the overlooks for pretty canyon layers. Utah really knows how to show off. #potash #deadhorsepointstatepark #utah #canyonviews #deserthike #thelmaandlouise #rvadventures #rvtravel #nomad #vanlife

With Lone Mesa dispersed camping as a base, Doug t

With Lone Mesa dispersed camping as a base, Doug took a short ride to the Bartlett Pictograph Art Panel. The next morning he mountain biked the Chisholm Trail. A neighbor at Lone Mesa advertised the ride as “barely going up and a smooth ride back down” but Doug found that his 21.6 mile ride was more work than that. #chisholm #mtb #utah #lonemesa #rvadventures #getoutside #bike #desertvibes

We have 2 hidden gems for you today! These sunset

We have 2 hidden gems for you today! These sunset pictures were taken at a Lone Mesa boondocking spot. (More about this area soon). We spent our day hiking to Corona and Bowtie arches, which are, outside of Arches National Park, some of the most accessible and prominent arches to be found. Just off Potash Road near the Gold Bar camping area, the trail climbs from the Colorado River up onto the slickrock benches of Bootlegger Canyon. We crossed railroad tracks, followed cairns across open rock, and tackled a short scramble section with a ladder and safety cable (but easily do-able). We were rewarded Bowtie arch tucked into the cliff wall and Corona spanning the sky in a massive sandstone arc. #hiddengem #utah #archesnationalpark #moab #boondocking #coronaarch #bowtiearch #hikemore #rvadventures #nofilter

Our next Moab adventure took us out to the rock ar

Our next Moab adventure took us out to the rock art sites along Utah 279. Prehistoric petroglyph panels etched into the cliff faces fascinate us. Why do so many look alien? It’s weird to stand just a few feet from art that’s been here for hundreds — even thousands — of years. It quickly turned into a hot afternoon, but Doug couldn’t resist a walk up the Poison Spider trail which advertised dinosaur tracks. Both red rock areas are classic Moab: dusty, wild, and waiting for you to explore. Moab rarely disappoints. #moab #petroglyphs #roadtrip #dinosaurprints #utah

Happy hump day! Get out there and enjoy it! #hum

The slick rock area near Moab is basically an adul

The slick rock area near Moab is basically an adult playground. Scrambling up boulders, mountain biking trails, and dirt biking and off-roading. It’s all fair game in this area! When you’re dusty and done for the day, grab a burger, onion rings and a milkshake in town to celebrate! #slickrock #moab #utah #cheeseburgerinparadise #offroad #mtb #rvtravel #rvadventures

Camped at the Juniper Campground in Sand Flats nea

Camped at the Juniper Campground in Sand Flats near Moab — the perfect spot for adventure right outside our door. Doug hit the trails with two solid mountain bike rides: Falcon Flow, and then Eagle Eye + Hawks Glide, part of the 5 Raptor Trails network. These routes wind through junipers, over chunky rock sections, and along stunning canyon edges — all rated intermediate but packed with challenge and views. We were even caught a little rain and a rainbow to top it off. Wrapped up our stay with a short hike on the Juniper Trail that starts right from the campground — quiet, scenic, and a great way to stretch the legs after riding. #mtb #mtblifestyle #moab #sandflats #raptortrails #desert #rainbow #rvadventures #rvtravel #visitutah

- [ ] While there’s a lot of great camping along

- [ ] While there’s a lot of great camping along the Colorado River just outside of Moab, when it’s too hot we always look for higher ground and found the perfect spot to hang out for a weekend - the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The contrast is striking. Down below the river cuts through stark, red-rock canyon walls and up above, the aspens explode in gold and amber. The high country lakes are crystal clear and streams trickle along great hiking and mountain biking trails. While the desert floor hit 90°, we were in the mid 70s enjoying fall colors. #moab #utah #aspen #mantilasal #rvtravel #rvadventures #nomads
