Four days in Escalante, Utah (visit #2)–Big Trip #2
We visited Escalante in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. Escalante was one of our favorite little hiking towns on our first Big Trip. This time we were farther into the off-season, so many stores and restaurants were closed, but we

Three days in Kanab, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Kanab in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Kanab is perfectly positioned as a base for exploring the southern part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a magical place under threat from the current administration. GSENM was our favorite area on our first Big Trip and we were thrilled to spend some

Five days in Virgin, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Virgin in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We visited Zion for only a half day on our first Big Trip two years ago and didn’t really get why people are obsessed with this National Park. This trip, we wanted to really understand Zion’s appeal, so we stayed close by for

Zion National Park
We visited Zion NP in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We did a quickie visit to Zion on our first Big Trip in 2016. On our second Big Trip, we had more time to explore and really get to know Zion. It’s a magical place, and because of that, it’s crowded. Just

Grand Canyon North Rim
We visited the North Rim in October 2018, as part of Big Trip #2. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is visited by only 10% of all Grand Canyon visitors. It’s a 24-mile hike across rim-to-rim, but driving from the South Rim Visitor Center to the North Rim Visitor Center it’s 212 miles! We

Great Basin National Park
We visited Great Basin in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Great Basin National Park is one of the least visited National Parks in the entire system. Sure, it’s a million miles from nowhere (but really, not far from Las Vegas or Salt Lake City), but the remoteness means no crowds. Seriously, the road

Five days in Park City, Utah (visit #1)–Big Trip #2
We were in Park City in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our second visit in 2020 here during Big Trip #3. Southern Utah was our favorite part of the first Big Trip, and we were excited to explore Northern Utah a bit this trip. We chose Park City as our

One day in Rock Springs, WY–Big Trip #2
We were in Rock Springs in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. If you’ve missed our headlong rush across the country, we’re in a hurry to get to Utah. We needed a stopover between Denver and Park City, so picked a town on the way that has a brewery: Rock Springs, Wyoming. One

A weekend in Denver (visit #2)–Big Trip #2
We were in Denver in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our first visit in 2016 here during Big Trip #1. Read about our third visit in 2020 here during Big Trip #3. We did this on our first Big Trip: camped in the Airstream beside our friends’ house in Northeast Denver.

One day in St Francis, KS–Big Trip #2
We were in St Francis in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Omaha to Denver is a long haul, and we wanted to get to Denver early in the day to avoid Friday afternoon traffic, so we needed an overnight stop. In the interest of getting Bugsy a new state (me too, actually!),
