Goosenecks State Park, UT
We visited Goosenecks SP in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Goosenecks State Park is a must-see if you’re in the Monument Valley/Bluff area. The hike down to the river, however, is not so satisfying. Let’s start with the park: it’s a small park, just trails along the rim of the canyon, with incredible views…

Monument Valley, AZ
We visited Monument Valley in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. At first glance on the internet, it seems that if you don’t do a guided tour of Monument Valley, you can’t really do anything at all there. So we lined up a guided tour with Black’s Monument Valley Tours, arranging a private tour for…

What’s in an Airstream dog’s suitcase?
We wrote this post during Big Trip #1 in 2016! No, we no longer make her food in the crockpot. Packing for Bugsy wasn’t too hard. There are big chain pet stores in most mid-sized cities that carry her brand of food, so we didn’t have to start with an entire 3-month supply of dog…

Three days in Bluff, Utah–Big Trip #1
We visited Bluff in April 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We later boondocked just outside Bluff in Valley of the Gods just after this first Bluff visit, and then again in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. There’s not much going on in Bluff, except for the scenery outside of town, and an…

Two nights at Dead Horse Point State Park–Big Trip #1
We visited Dead Horse Point SP in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in November 2018 here, as part of Big Trip #2. I will not comment on the name of this park, or its possible origin. I will comment on it’s unbelievable gorgeousness. It’s across the eastern canyon of Canyonlands…

Negro Bill Canyon Trail, Moab
We hiked Negro Bill Canyon in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. The unfortunately named Negro Bill Canyon Trail is a four-mile out and back on BLM land (=dogs are welcome!) just outside Moab. The hike ends at a large natural bridge–the sixth-longest natural rock span in the US. A few rappellers were descending from the bridge…

Canyonlands National Park
We visited Canyonlands in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. As we surveyed the vista at the first overlook at Canyonlands National Park, we said to each other “this is my new favorite park.” Canyonlands is enormous; we were in the main Island in the Sky section, with arches, domes, and the canyons, the magnificent canyons. We…

Arches National Park
We first visited Arches in April 2016 during Big Trip #1, then again in November 2018 during Big Trip #2. Arches National Park is a geologist’s wonderland. On our first visit, we got there early, perhaps too early for good photography, but early enough to beat the crowds at our first couple stops. This is…

Three days in Moab, Utah–Big Trip #1
We visited Moab in April 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Read about our second quickie visit in 2016 here, and our third visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. [If you’re reading these posts in order, you may be confused right now since the previous post was about a quick overnight in…

A day in the Airstream life–Big Trip #1
We wrote this post during Big Trip #1. I thought it would be interesting to share with you an example of a typical day for us on the road. But what is a typical day? Sometimes we’re coming setting up camp, or going and breaking down camp, or settled in a place and cooking meals and…
