Banff National Park
We visited Banff for four days in mid-September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 I’ve wanted to visit Banff National Park in Alberta since I saw a photo of Lake Louise in my Sierra Club calendar as a preteen. We tried to visit in 2020 on Big Trip #3, but Covid kept us out…

Waterton Lakes National Park
We spent four days in Waterton Lakes in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We love Glacier (it might be our #2 favorite national park?), and since I was a kid I had always dreamed of visiting Banff National Park. I didn’t know about Waterton Lakes, Banff and Glacier’s middle sibling. What an…

Indiana Dunes National Park
We visited IDNP in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 Indiana Dunes National Park, like Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is an urban park. It’s one of the newest national parks in the US, protecting an important shoreline ecosystem on Lake Michigan, and providing accessible nature experiences to people who live in near cities.…

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
We visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite… Cuyahoga Valley National Park? Don’t go to Cuyahoga expecting dramatic vistas and crazy wildlife. It’s an urban park, squeezed between towns and along highways, with no escape from the constant drone of traffic. But the woods…

Everglades National Park
We spent two days in the Everglades in January 2022, during our Florida in January trip. The drive from Key West to Everglades National Park was about three hours, but we broke it up with an early stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and a pizza bagel. The coffee is good and the pizza bagels…

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…

Glacier National Park
We visited the west side of Glacier National Park in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3, and the east side in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Glacier National Park is popular! All this popularity means crowds in the campgrounds, crowds in the parking lots, crowds on the scenic drives, and…

Theodore Roosevelt National Park
We visited TRNP in late summer 2020 as part of Big Trip #3, and again in late summer 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We’ve now been to Medora, North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park twice, and both times had an incredible experience because 1) the scenery is gorgeous, and 2) it’s not…

Acadia National Park
We visited Acadia in May 2019 as part of this loop trip to Maine. Just outside the quaint seaside town of Bar Harbor, Maine, a five-hour drive north of Boston, sits the exquisite seaside jumble of rocks known as Acadia National Park. We took the Airstream up to Bar Harbor in mid-May for our first…
