One night in Joplin, MO–Big Trip #3
We visited Joplin in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Joplin is a medium-sized town on Route 66 near the interstate. Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Bonnie and Clyde hid out there, and Janis Joplin is unaffiliated with it. We chose it as a stopover for convenience, Route 66 history, and the fact

One night in Dodge City, KS–Big Trip #3
We visited Dodge City in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. After leaving Denver, we started hightailing it across the Midwest toward home, picking kind of random places to spend our next two nights. First stop: Dodge City, Kansas, a six-hour drive southeast from Denver. We knew of it as a Wild West town,

One night in Denver, CO (visit #3)–Big Trip #3
We visited Denver in October 2020 during Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here during Big Trip #1, and our second visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. Snow was coming! We went to Denver a day early so we could turn east for home ahead of the storm. This

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

Two days in Durango, CO (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Durango in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. Durango was one of our favorite stops on Big Trip #1, to the point where we wondered if we could live there. This time around it didn’t charm us quiiiiite so much.

One night in Ouray, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ouray in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our day trip to Ouray from Durango in 2016 here. Ouray is right down the road from Ridgway, on the way to our next destination–a favorite from Big Trip #1—Durango. We visited briefly on that trip in 2016 on a day trip from

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. Luckily for our trip-extending needs, we visited juuuust as the weather was starting to get cold, and our campground was empty. The weather was chilly but still warm enough

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

Five days in Wilson, WY–Big Trip #3
We visited Wilson in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We had a plan for the Tetons: spend a couple days in Grand Teton National Park and do some hiking in the park, then move to the Jackson Hole area for a couple days to check out Jackson and hike with Bugsy outside the

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
