One night in Logan, UT–Big Trip #3
We visited Logan in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. With a one-day gap between Ketchum and our next stop, Park City, we looked for a spot along the way to spend the night in the woods with easy access to a morning hike, like we had in Stanley. We found it in Logan!…

Two days in Ketchum, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Ketchum in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. This was a (literal) turning point in our trip: Initially we’d planned to scoot farther west, to see Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic, visit some friends in Oregon and Reno, and return to Great Basin… and then all those forest fires all over the…

One night in Stanley, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Stanley in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Tiny Stanley is an outdoor adventurer’s town. It’s in the middle of nowhere, has a grocery, a couple cool-looking restaurants, and that’s about it… except for the scenic Salmon River and towering Sawtooth Mountains sprinkled with gorgeous alpine lakes. We were there for the…

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…

Grand Teton National Park
We visited Grand Teton in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. When I was a kid, I was gifted a Sierra Club engagement calendar, a datebook with a nature photo facing each week’s grid. One week’s photo was of the Tetons, and it spoke to me so strongly that I cut it out of…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

Two days in West Yellowstone, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited West Yellowstone in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We stayed in West Yellowstone because it’s a convenient base from which to visit Yellowstone National Park: the park’s main western entrance gate is a stone’s throw from the main drag in town, and said main drag has shops and restaurants and groceries…

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…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…
