"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks" - John Muir There was no hesitation once we woke up to head into Zion National Park. Driving in (not so early in the morning) we somehow managed to get a parking spot near the visitor center. Once we got our passports stamped… Continue reading A Day at Zion and a Taste of Bryce Canyon

Archways to Nature
Arches National Park Waking up to a hot and beautiful day in Moab, we grabbed some ice for our cooler and headed into Arches National Park. Arches became a National Park in 1929 and is mostly known for its 2,000+ natural arches. After a long geologic process spanning millions of years, you can simplify the… Continue reading Archways to Nature
Exploring the Land of Canyons
"Wander often, Wonder always" Waking up, we immediately started our journey to Utah. The drive before the border of Colorado and Utah is one that I'll never forget; on every side of us were mountains of red rocks. You could just watch as the landscape changed throughout the roads. One of our last moments in… Continue reading Exploring the Land of Canyons
Black Canyon of the Gunnison (ft. a Funky Night in a National Forest)
"There's no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this" With the vast amount of cattle fields out west, one would think that touching a cow would be a simple task. I'm here to tell you that it's not. Waking up in Kebler Pass gave us (me) the perfect first attempt at… Continue reading Black Canyon of the Gunnison (ft. a Funky Night in a National Forest)
Hot Springs and Hikes in Colorado
"The future will either be green or not at all" - Bob Brown Waking up in the mountains is something I don't think I could ever get tired of. Being able to step outside and see a rocky landscape littered with trees first thing in the morning is unexplainable. We woke up not feeling the… Continue reading Hot Springs and Hikes in Colorado
Backtracking in Colorado
Garden of the Gods Entering Colorado, we started with Colorado Springs and decided to head north afterwards. For a midwest girl who has only seen mini Michigan mountains and Appalachian mountains, the first sight of any mountain out west was incredible. Driving down the road, with wind turbines on either side of us, miles off… Continue reading Backtracking in Colorado
Gateway to the West
The journey begins! After pushing our departure date back a few days, we decided it was time to get on the road regardless of if we were 100% ready (although this leads to stabbing yourself in the finger with a screw driver while trying to install hinges on the road). We packed the van up,… Continue reading Gateway to the West
Converting the ad-VAN-ture mobile
Before we get into the heart of our adventures I thought I would show you around our tiny home on wheels. We initially had a plan to reconvert Michaels old van, so we gutted that and started putting in the base of our floor. That is until we realized he was about to upgrade to… Continue reading Converting the ad-VAN-ture mobile
