Many Glacier Entrance to Glacier National Park - Grinnel Glacier Lake Hike
Many Gladiers Lake Hike is one of the best hikes in Montana!


The Great Bear Incident (Many Glacier, Glacier National Park) Red Rock Falls Hike
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.


Hiking Changes Everything
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

Badlands Revisited — South Dakota
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.

Hidden Falls, Cape St. George and Blue Beach An Adventure of Hits and Misses
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: Wrapping Up Our Newfoundland AdventureRestaurants, Charming towns, Abandoned Homes, Sheds, Boats & More
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.
