Our Experiences
Arches & Canyonlands National Park
We’ll remember this trip for its unique rock formations: the numerous arches, mushroom-shaped needles, and colorful canyon views. And days that spanned the whole spectrum of intensity, from one with a 10.5mi hike to a day where we turned around after only the first third of a 0.6mi hike, each equally impressive in totally different ways.

North Cascades National Park
Aside from a beautiful turquoise blue lake, this park is all about the mountains, nothing but mountains. And all the many mile long, tough hikes on those mountains… but what a work out you’ll get! And oh the majestic views you’ll see along the way.

Mt. Rainier National Park
The proximity of this park to Seattle makes Mt. Rainier a popular and easily accessible destination. I enjoyed the wildflowers late summer and marmot sightings here. It’s a relatively condensed park as there are only two main areas, Sunrise and Paradise, which makes it easy to see everything without too much driving.

Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park is massive and has several distinct regions, from rainforests, to beaches, to mountains. It’s quite the variety all within the same national park! Visitors typically start at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center and drive counter-clockwise along Highway 101. Given how large and spread out this park is, there’s a lot of driving each day.

Acadia National Park
I’ll remember Acadia for its burst of colors, for our peaceful bike ride through the car-free Carriage Roads, and the big waves crashing upon Thunder Hole. Maine I will remember by its stereotypes— lobster, of course, and a lighthouse perched on the cliff.

Our Experiences
St. Louis, MO
There was one, and only one, thing I knew about St. Louis… the Gateway Arch! It’s one of the top 10 most iconic monuments in America according to some random article that we sent to friends to convince them to come, which didn’t work btw.

W Trek – Torres del Paine, Patagonia
To see Torres del Paine is to see what beauty our earth has to offer at the edge of civilization. Aside from the views is the experience itself, a 50 mile hike over 5 days/4 nights. I left it not only with some nice pictures but also a gratifying sense of accomplishment.

When we weren’t hiking, we were glamping (sigh, we meant to camp dammit), and when we weren’t glamping, we were traveling around in our hella nice rental car. That’s basically out trip in a nutshell.
