Well after driving away from Seattle down to Redwood National Park, I was thinking a lot about me continuing for 3 more weeks on my own. I have no problem doing it, but I felt the whole point was to experience the trip with Big E and going it alone seemed a little selfish. What…
It was wild driving through Redwood National Park seeing how massive these trees are. This has always been a bucket list item for me. Wishing Big E was here to see them. As a nice bonus I caught the sun setting on the way out of the park!
Hello friends! I know it’s been a few days without a post. Sorry about that! We wrapped up at Glacier a couple days early and headed west to Seattle. It’s also with a heavy heart to report that Big E has been extremely homesick. He’s been a trooper hangin in there with me these first…
Big E and I finished a 10 mile hike that had us navigating through the glacier mountains arriving at Iceberg Lake. Tough hike as the way out was almost all uphill with the last 1.5 miles all snow. This trail is amazing and it’s only drawback was the lake is still frozen over but regardless,…
Not only were we rewarded with nice weather but my goodness I have no words for the views here. Hiked Baring, St. Mary, and Virginia Falls via Piegan Pass Trail on AllTrailshttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/montana/three-falls-hike-via-piegan-pass?sh=utwg4z
Got a small break in the weather to start the day. Was able to secure a Going to the Sun day pass last minute. We drove up and hiked Avalanche Lake trail. Total hike was just over 6 miles. A little wet, but the trail was actually pretty good. Chilly though only 44 degrees and…
The weather has turned for the worst these past two days. Yesterday was mostly driving but upon arrival it was high 40’s, heavy rain with an added wind advisory. We ended up securing a cabin rental here at the campgrounds for 3 days to get us past the bad weather. Forecast significantly improves starting on…
Left Grand Teton this morning driving through Jackson Hole. Cool ski village! We drove a small portion today to go visit Craters of the Moon National Monument, which is part of the National Parks. We’re supposed to head tomorrow towards the north western Idaho border for a couple of days to hike in that area,…
Woke up to a brisk 29 degrees this morning 🥶 but it warmed to 65. Not a cloud in the sky today so we continue to luck out with the weather. Big E and I completed an 8.2 mile hike today that was pretty flat and easy. The Grand Tetons were beautiful with the snow…
So I’m not sure where to start. We came incredibly close to 3 bears and saw a moose pretty close up. The last bear came up on us on the trail and proceeded to continue to walk towards us on the path. Elliott and I continued to walk backwards down the path along with a…
Finished up in Yellowstone and went to see Old Faithful. Got to the viewing area 5 mins before it went off so our timing was perfect. Stopped off and took a pic on the Continental Divide (for those who didn’t know or can’t recall, myself included) the divide determines which way water runs off either…
Wow today was incredible! We hiked the North Rim trail and the views were absolutely stunning. All along the river into the canyon you see waterfalls amd bridges. The trail has lots of break off trails that drop down towards the river where there are look out platforms to see the views. We hiked about…
Been a couple days since last post due to zero internet service, which to be honest has been nice. Having to figure things out by map and more time to just hike and chill at camp. On day 4 we mostly drove in from Devils Tower about 7 hours. Our only stop today was at…
So I wasn’t sure what to expect but I gotta tell ya Devil’s Tower (Or as the Native Americans call it Bear Lodge) was fascinating! The Tower is formed of a rare igneous rock, phonolite porphyry, and is the largest example of columnar jointing in the world.) The sheer size of this thing is (867 ft), so…
Future prospector?
Today was the longest drive stretch we’ll have of 14 hours. The rest are broken up into 4-8 hours trips so there’s that. As luck would have it we were able to meet up and say hello to my Cousin Michelle and her husband Tim as we drove through the Chicago area. complete luck. Had…
