Canyonlands National Park
We visited Canyonlands in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. As we surveyed the vista at the first overlook at Canyonlands National Park, we said to each other “this is my new favorite park.” Canyonlands is enormous; we were in the main Island in the Sky section, with arches, domes, and the canyons, the magnificent canyons. We…

Arches National Park
We first visited Arches in April 2016 during Big Trip #1, then again in November 2018 during Big Trip #2. Arches National Park is a geologist’s wonderland.

Two days in Whites City, NM / Carlsbad Caverns NP / Guadalupe NP–Big Trip #1
We visited Whites City in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard of Whites City, NM. (Wikipedia says the 2010 population of Whites City was seven!) Here’s an easier one: have you heard of Guadalupe Mountains National Park? We hadn’t heard of either place, which is nuts because…
