Two days in Ketchum, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Ketchum in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. This was a (literal) turning point in our trip: Initially we’d planned to scoot farther west, to see Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic, visit some friends in Oregon and Reno, and return to Great Basin… and then all those forest fires all over the…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

Two days in West Yellowstone, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited West Yellowstone in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. 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 restaurants and groceries…

Three days in Bozeman, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Bozeman in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. 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 trails were closed from…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…

Two days in Hamilton, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Hamilton in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Hamilton was great… until Hamilton was covered in smoke from the fires in CA and OR. We managed to get in a cuckoo amazing hike, eat some surprisingly good sushi, and hang out at a cool brewery, before the smoke drove us away. And…

Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Sandpoint in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This was the point in the trip where we were supposed to turn north and head for Banff, long on my travel wish list! But alas, due to stupid Covid and the US’s inept handling…

Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Kalispell and Whitefish in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Glacier National Park was incredible, but we were ready for fewer people and more hiking with Bugsy, so we relocated a bit to the west to hit a different section of Flathead National Forest. Two neighboring towns appealed to us as potential…

One night in Havre, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Havre in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. 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 We stayed at the…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #1
Yes, I’m behind posting about Big Trip #3, and I’m just going to get slower because we’re into the good hiking territory now and that’s pretty much all we’re doing. And drinking beer. So in an attempt to keep you caught up if you’re following along in real time, here’s where we’ve been so far,…
