Four days in West Glacier, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited West Glacier in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Theodore Roosevelt National Park put us into hyper-hiking mode, and we were so excited to get to Glacier National Park!

Catch-up: we took the Airstream to Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Maine in May 2019. It took me 7 months to finish writing about Big Trip #2; hopefully I’ll be quicker to write about our next, much shorter trip. In May, we took the Airstream up to Acadia National Park in Maine! I wrote about our general plans early in the researching process here,
