People hear “Wyoming” and picture tumbleweeds

People hear “Wyoming” and picture tumbleweeds and endless flatness which is fair but don’t forget this same state has the Tetons and Yellowstone — two of the most jaw-dropping places in the country. Wyoming is literally the ultimate plot twist and should not be underestimated. We visited family in Cody and didn’t go to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West this trip but if you’re near Yellowstone stop here. It’s actually a complex of five museums in one, covering Western art, Native American culture, natural history, firearms history, and of course Buffalo Bill himself. It’s a fantastic stop and a Smithsonian. #codywyoming #buffalobill #greatclouds #mountainscapes

Grandma Veva has been a part of my life for 56 yea

Grandma Veva has been a part of my life for 56 years. She passed just shy of reaching 100! I can’t imagine all of the amazing things she’s seen over that lifetime. We happened to be in Billings, MT when it happened and I’m so glad we were here for her service on Friday. She will be missed. Love you grandma! #grandma #foreverinourhearts #familyties #siblings #cousins

For a hike with views, history, and a powerful rem

For a hike with views, history, and a powerful reminder of courage and leadership head to Wallace, Idaho.

The interpretive hike to Pulaski Tunnel is about 4 miles round trip and follows a peaceful forest trail along Placer Creek before climbing to the famous cave-like tunnel that became a lifesaving refuge during the Great Fire of 1910.

After an extremely dry summer, hundreds of small fires across Idaho and Montana exploded into a massive firestorm when hurricane-force winds hit on August 20, 1910. In just two days, the fire burned over 3 million acres, destroyed entire towns, and killed 87 people — most of them firefighters. Smoke from the fire was reportedly seen as far away as New York.

When Pulaski, a U.S. Forest Service Ranger, and his crew of firefighters became trapped by the flames near Placer Creek, he led around 45 men into an abandoned mine tunnel as the wildfire closed in around them. He ordered the men to lie down, covered the opening with wet blankets, and held them there while the firestorm raged outside. Thanks to his bravery and quick thinking, most of the crew survived. It’s one of the most incredible wildfire survival stories in U.S. history. #historynerd #rvadventures #rvtravel #welovefirefighters

We usually slow roll - no more than about 3 hours in the car and arriving at our campsite for the night by 3pm - but not today. Today our “3” was 3 states Oregon, Washington and Idaho. From Bend to The Dalles, skirting Spokane and into Idaho, we are near Wallace tonight. #travelday #iliketomoveitmoveit #rvadventures

Phoenix and the Bend area hold a special place in

Phoenix and the Bend area hold a special place in our hearts because we have kids and grandkids in both places. There’s just nothing sweeter watching the world through their eyes and this week we had a lot of adventures! We wandered the quirky, wonder-filled Peterson Rock Garden, explored the High Desert Museum (those owls! those otters!), took several great walks / hikes, read storybooks and enjoyed time with family. Life just doesn’t get any better. #fortunate #grateful #familytime

Camping in the Alabama Hills means waking up benea

Camping in the Alabama Hills means waking up beneath towering granite boulders with the Sierra Nevada glowing in the distance — and standing in the middle of Hollywood history. Hundreds of westerns, adventure films, and movies like Gladiator, Iron Man, and Django Unchained were filmed here. It’s easy to see why every sunset looks cinematic and every dirt road feels like the start of a story. #alabamahills #boondocking #rvtravelwithdogs #rvadventures

Slow rolled our winter with family in Las Vegas, helping my dad with a bathroom remodel in Colorado, visiting Grandma in Montana, music and good deeds with my bestie in Phoenix, visits from friends, Doug’s daughter and fam, and my sister and brother in law. Definitely felt loved! So sending out a thanks to all the family and friends that made our time in Phoenix really special. Special shout out to my sis for traveling with me to multiple locations. We are back in the RV and plan to spend the summer in Newfoundland! More to follow. #familyandfriends #slowroll #thanks #gratefull #besties

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 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
