Hiking, Nature & Wildlife

Many Gladiers Lake Hike is one of the best hikes in Montana!

A quiet dusk hike near the Many Glacier entrance in Glacier National Park started out perfectly—waterfalls, a snowshoe rabbit, a “stalker deer,” and even a bull moose by the lake. Then I got separated from Manny (and the bear spray) and came face-to-face with a huge brown bear on the trail just yards away. What happened next was a long, tense wait in the dark—and a reminder that “easy hikes” can change fast.

Most Yellowstone visitors never leave the roads and crowded boardwalks — but the real magic often begins where the pavement ends. In this reflective look at hiking Yellowstone, we share the trails, wildlife encounters, quiet moments, and sense of healing that come from slowing down and stepping deeper into one of the last truly wild places in America.

Spearfish South Dakota and the Surrounding area has so much to offer: Amazing Scenery, Fun Towns, Golf and more.

Revisiting the Badlands proved one thing — this landscape never looks the same twice. From quiet sunsets at the Pinnacles to unexpected wildlife encounters and “just a quick walk” that turned into an adventure, this trip was less about checking off sights and more about experiencing the park at a slower pace.

When Plan A Falls Through, Sometimes Plan B Becomes the Perfect AdventureSometimes the best travel moments happen when your carefully laid plans take an unexpected turn. That's exactly what happened during our recent RV journey through Pennsylvania, when a disappointing hiking situation led us straight into the heart of America's pastime. Williamsport, PA Our route through Montgomery, Pennsylvania took us directly past Williamsport - home of the Little League World Series. As

There are lots of "hits and misses" when you're driving around and exploring a province the size of Newfoundland. We had both on this day's adventure! We chose this Peninsula to explore finishing with Blue Beach as the Goal. We chose our exploration area by looking at the map and picking a piece of land that really jutted out into the ocean. Our experience has been that these spots offer lots of coves and lots of great ocean beaches to explore, great scenery to enjoy, and uni

Week 10 wrapped up our stay in Newfoundland, and we had to leave knowing we'd have some "culture shock" going back to the "semi-mainland" of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. This week, I wanted to capture all the bits and pieces of things we experienced that didn't get their own dedicated stories but made up a significant portion of the culture and ambiance of our Newfoundland trip.

Traveler's Summary Our journey through Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula has been nothing short of spectacular—rugged coastlines, charming towns, and unforgettable hikes. Here's a recap of our adventures, tips for fellow travelers, and some local quirks we discovered along the way. Getting Around: Roads & Fuel 🚗 Road Conditions: The main roads are well-maintained, but some side roads can be rough—watch for pothole and "bump" warnings and take them seriously. That s

Cape Spear Light House Yes, both Signal Hill and Cape Spear offer breathtaking coastal views—but that's where the similarities end. If you think visiting one means you can skip the other, think again. Cape Spear delivers a wild, windswept, edge-of-the-world experience that's entirely its own. Why Cape Spear Stands Out 1. The Easternmost Point in North America First Light hits Cape Spear - You're literally standing at the farthest east you can go on the continent. The sheer ge

Our Camp View Beachside Sunrises & Capelin Fish Don't let Little Bay, NL fool you. At first glance, it appears to be just another charming "cove town" with a population under 100 – the kind that dots Newfoundland's many harbor roads throughout the island. But Little Bay holds secrets that make it far more fascinating than its quiet present suggests.
