White Sands, Black Sky

After a full day of driving, we reached our first road trip destination. Alamogordo, New Mexico. For a while now, Kurt and I have talked about taking a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon since he’s never been. This month seemed to work well, so we decided to make it happen. Our friend Anxhela also decided… Read More White Sands, Black Sky

Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park was incredible. Did a sweet 5 mile hike. Met a cool old couple from Calgary. Everyone was impressed that we’d come all the way from Texas. Almost saw a black bear.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone has been an adventure. The first day we drove mostly in the north part hoping to see wildlife. And we did. A ton of buffalo! Those guys are EVERYWHERE. There were even several traffic jams because they were darting back and forth across the road. And we saw Mammoth Hot Springs, which was cool.… Read More Yellowstone

North Dakota

North Dakota was a good decision. We didn’t have much on our agenda here, so we spent the morning sleeping in and being lazy. We were about to get ready to go around noon… But then a movie came on that we had caught like 5 minutes of the night before and we decided to… Read More North Dakota
