This day was the coolest one yet in regards to temperatures, and I’m so glad it was because it’s the day I think we accomplished one of the most challenging feats. I’d read on one blog and learned from a friend that this trail was not for the faint of heart. It’s STEEP and pretty …
We started today even earlier than we did the previous day, leaving for the park by 7am. Although it’s recommended to be at Glacier Point by sunrise, I just didn’t see us making it that early after the tiring day we had yesterday. It turned out that we were still early enough to find parking …
Wow, what a day! Let’s see how many of our adventures I can remember. We experienced multiple failed plans where we needed to shift and adjust (I only felt like crying once), but managed to cover about 15 miles of biking and hiking in this one day! The resounding tip I read from other blogs …
Day 4 - Moving Day to Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes Today was quite the adventure when it came to driving. We opted for the quickest route to our RV park, located about 7 miles outside of the entrance into Yosemite National Park. This meant we took several smaller highways and even private roads with little …

In our planning for this trip, this day was the last we finalized, shifting and considering plans until we hoped to create something that allowed us to squeeze as much out of the day as possible. Technically, we could have planned a longer moving day and arrived at Yosemite on Tuesday evening. However, the only …

Since this trip is fresh on my mind, I decided to write about some things we learned that hopefully apply to both RV’ers and non-RV’ing families. It’s taken me a few years to learn some of these principles, but hopefully others will find at least some of this helpful. In your planning, consider your people …

Day 11 - Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park Today was a big day with lots of firsts for us! We all slept in a little bit, which was nice, and since Nick had seasoned his new Blackstone griddle the night before (which we gave him for Father’s Day), he cooked breakfast for us on …

Day 9 - Grand Teton National Park I awoke at my normal time and could tell it had gotten really cold during the night, so I turned on the heater and enjoyed coffee, reading and writing for several hours before anyone began to stir. We decided to head to the lodge restaurant of our camp …
Day 7 - Two Medicine and St. Mary We didn’t begin this day quite as early since the previous day was so full, but we started out after breakfast and drove south an hour to the Two Medicine portion of GNP. I’d read that this is less populated with visitors and yet still just as …
