adventures with a dog and an airstream
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...
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...
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...

Here’s something exciting! On the drive to Missoula from Sandpoint we heard a big bang! And one of the Airstream tires had exploded! Woo! We were able to change it on the side of the road and get all new...

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...
Our route from Theodore Roosevelt National Park to Glacier National Park took us across Rt 2 in northern Montana. We chose Havre as a stopover town because it seemed to have the most going on. Two breweries! Food trucks! Campground...
