Death Valley is hot. Believe what you read about the heat. It is oppressive and dangerous. It’s dangerous for adults, and it’s especially dangerous for little kids. We visited Death Valley National Park with our 1 and 4 year old kids in May. By 9am, temperatures in the valley reached 90 degrees F. The hottest […]
Biking Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is fantastic. The landscape is stunning, and the opportunities for hiking, climbing, and biking are plentiful. We spent most of our week in Yosemite Valley, taking in the waterfalls and cliffs throughs some short day hikes, but when possible we tried to find a little elbow room in a crowded park. We hiked a […]
Yosemite is beautiful, but…how do you avoid the crowds
It’s like nature Disneyland. I’m talking a group of 50 Japanese tourist being lead around the park by a guide with a flag. Just like Disney or the Louvre. It’s funny, I’m really learning exactly what I like in a park from all this travel. I like to have water free flowing. I like to […]
Day Trip to Sequoia National Park
We stopped in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks on our drive from Joshua Tree National Park to Yosemite National Park. Sequoia gave us a bit of climate shock, and we underestimated just how cold it would be high in the Sierras. We woke up that morning in the hot Mojave desert in Joshua Tree. […]

Explore Dead Horse Ranch State Park – Cottonwood, AZ
We headed to Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Arizona because we had confused it with pictures we saw of Dead Horse State Park in Utah on Google Images, which is absolutely stunning. We were a little surprised to show up to Dead Horse RANCH State Park to find it nothing like the pictures, nonetheless […]
When in Rome….or Sedona.
Last week was my birthday. I’m not a huge birthday person. I don’t celebrate all week, or all month like some people do. In our family, we usually do something special that the birthday person wants to do and that person gets to pick their birthday treat. For me its ice-cream or frozen yogurt. Heaven! […]
Snowy Day At the Grand Canyon Reignites A Past Interest
We only planned to spend one day at the Grand Canyon before heading to Joshua Tree National Park. While the Grand Canyon is massive, one day was about right for us for a visit, as we just wanted to cycle and walk around the well-traveled South Rim trails to take in some of the awesome […]
Tent Rocks National Monument, A Day Hike Near Albuquerque and Santa Fe
Coming out of an awesome camping and hiking trip at Palo Duro State Park in west Texas, we made our way towards Santa Fe on our RV trip around America. We whiffed on fun pretty badly in downtown Santa Fe. It seemed like a really cool city, but each of our stops weren’t kid friendly […]
