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…

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #6)
We visited Asheville in September 2018. We also visited Sylva as part of this short trip. …and we’re back in Asheville. As I mentioned in my Sylva post, we needed a quick trip to knock the dust off our Airstreaming skills before our next Big Trip in a couple weeks. You may know that we…

Two days in Sylva, NC
We visited Sylva in September 2018. We also visited Asheville as part of this short trip. This little foray into Western NC had two stops: Sylva, to more easily access hikes west of Asheville that would normally be out of driving range, and Asheville, for our usual eating/drinking/hiking/city adventure and fun. (We had to cancel…

Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…
In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days…
