adventures with a dog and an airstream
We spent two nights near Lassen Volcanic in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. We had originally booked three nights for our Lassen Volcanic stop, but after being underwhelmed by our first hike, we decided to leave...
We visited Crater Lake in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Crater Lake National Park has been on my wishlist for a loooong time. It’s spectacularly gorgeous, but once you’ve done some hikes and stopped at the...
We visited Bend in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. You can’t drive from Mount Rainier to Crater Lake and not stop in Bend! Everything you’ve read about Bend’s coolness is true. We loved it. Mountains, waterfalls,...

We visited St Mary in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After super hiking in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and a subpar experience in Great Falls, MT, we finally landed in the Glacier area! We first visited...
We visited Medora in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We first visited in 2020 during Big Trip #3. When we visited Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park for the first time, in 2020, I didn’t bother...
