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!),…

One day in Omaha, NE–Big Trip #2
We were in Omaha in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We were in Kansas City, headed for Denver, so it seemed the logical next stop was Omaha. Neither of us knew much about the city, other than the College World Series is held there (because we come from a school that won…

One day in Kansas City, MO–Big Trip #2
We were in Kansas City in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Technically, we were here two nights and one day, if you’re wondering how we managed to cram in so much alcohol consumption. Overall, we found Kansas City to be interesting aesthetically, but we were turned off by all the closed storefronts…
