adventures with a dog and an airstream
We are freshly home from our last trip and are itching to get back out there, so we’re thrilled to be planning a trip out west for this fall! No offense, East Coast. We started with an itinerary based on...
Holy moly. We have a range of emotions about Yellowstone! To start: it’s incredibly gorgeous, with mesmerizing geology and exciting animals. But then: there are SO many people. Clogging the roads, clogging the trails, clogging the overlooks… And when I...

Theodore Roosevelt National Park put us into hyper-hiking mode, and we were so excited to get to Glacier National Park! Our sincere hope was that we’d arrive late enough in the season that we would miss the crowds but still...
