One day in Pigeon Forge, TN–Big Trip #3
We were in Pigeon Forge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Pigeon Forge (and Gatlinburg next door), to us, is only worth visiting as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did not like the town at all, but if you have read this blog at all you should not be…

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…

One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ridgway in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop toward home. The main…

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 Telluride, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Telluride in mid-October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We were supposed to have two nights in Telluride, but we screwed up the dates and missed our first night, and our second night was the very last night the campground was open for the year. Too bad–we would have liked another day…

One night in Valley of the Gods, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We stayed in Valley of the Gods in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in 2016, during Big Trip #1. I spilled the beans about a super boondocking spot in my last post, so might as well keep rolling with the theme and tell you about another one. Valley…

Two days just outside Capitol Reef National Park, UT–Big Trip #3
We visited Capitol Reef in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit to Capitol Reef here in 2016. After fueling up with a delicious breakfast outside Escalante, we zipped down the road to Capitol Reef National Park. We’d been to Capitol Reef before, and based ourselves in the little town…

Two days in Escalante, UT (visit #3)–Big Trip #3
We visited Escalante in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, and our second visit in 2018 here. Northern Utah is great, but southern Utah is really special. There’s something about those red/orange/white/swirly deserts that keeps us coming back. This was our third visit to Escalante; read…
