    One night in Breckenridge, CO–Big Trip #3

    We visited Breckenridge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. After visiting the charming ski towns of Telluride and Crested Butte, we were excited to experience one more before turning for home. Breckenridge isn’t like those two pretty, quaint, happy little towns! It’s much glitzier; everything seems shiny and bigger and buzzier. We much…

    Six days in Crested Butte, CO–Big Trip #3

    We visited Crested Butte in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Crested Butte is our new favorite place! Our planned three-day stay turned into six.

    One night in Montrose, CO (visit #2)–Big Trip #3

    We visited Montrose in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. I’ve been on a nice little roll knocking out several quickie posts where we stayed places for a night or two, but don’t get used to that pace–the stop after Montrose is our…

    Three days in Bozeman, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Bozeman in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Bozeman is a super cool town! It has good food, good beer, good cocktails, and great hiking, and we loved our time there. Unfortunately, our time there was quite smoky from the wildfires in CA and OR, and some local trails were closed from…

    One night in Missoula, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Missoula in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Here’s something exciting! On the drive to Missoula from Sandpoint we heard a big bang! And one of the Airstream tires had exploded! Woo! We were able to change it on the side of the road and get all new tires (shout out to…
