    Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3

    We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

  • Two days in West Yellowstone, MT–Big Trip #3

    Two days in West Yellowstone, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited West Yellowstone in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We stayed in West Yellowstone because it’s a convenient base from which to visit Yellowstone National Park: the park’s main western entrance gate is a stone’s throw from the main drag in town, and said main drag has shops and restaurants and groceries…

  • Three days in Bozeman, MT–Big Trip #3

    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…

    Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2

    I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…

  • Two days in Hamilton, MT–Big Trip #3

    Two days in Hamilton, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Hamilton in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Hamilton was great… until Hamilton was covered in smoke from the fires in CA and OR. We managed to get in a cuckoo amazing hike, eat some surprisingly good sushi, and hang out at a cool brewery, before the smoke drove us away. And…

  • One night in Missoula, MT–Big Trip #3

    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…

  • Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3

    Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3

    We visited Sandpoint in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This was the point in the trip where we were supposed to turn north and head for Banff, long on my travel wish list! But alas, due to stupid Covid and the US’s inept handling…

  • Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3

    Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Kalispell and Whitefish in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Glacier National Park was incredible, but we were ready for fewer people and more hiking with Bugsy, so we relocated a bit to the west to hit a different section of Flathead National Forest. Two neighboring towns appealed to us as potential…

  • Glacier National Park

    Glacier National Park

    We visited the west side of Glacier National Park in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3, and the east side in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Glacier National Park is popular! All this popularity means crowds in the campgrounds, crowds in the parking lots, crowds on the scenic drives, and…
