Daniel and I gazed in awe at the monolith towering over us. Bear’s Lodge, also known as Devil’s Tower, is a sacred place to many Native American tribes. I felt a sense of awe and reverence for this massive geological wonder as we stood dwarfed below it far...

After traveling nonstop for the past three weeks, Daniel and I were ready for a break. We wanted to regroup and also to assess our setup in the Rialta. Plus, our wedding anniversary was on July 29. It seemed like a good time to pause and reflect. So we booked a rustic...

Rain danced on our roof in a loud staccato as Daniel and I lazed comfortably inside the Rialta. I glanced up to see a bright flash, and then thunder boomed outside moments later. It was so nice to just ride out the storm in our cozy home without having to deal with a...

It’s time to say good-bye to Yellowstone National Park. Daniel and I have reservations for a campsite tonight in the vicinity of the Grand Tetons. But we hadn’t quite seen everything in Yellowstone, yet, so we decided to drive south through Yellowstone on...

Daniel and I waited until today to see the most popular attractions at Yellowstone. You know the ones that I mean – Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Springs, and the other geysers of the Upper Basin area. We figured they wouldn’t be as crowded if we waited...
