Lunch and Shopping in Bar Harbor, Thunder-hole (again), Cadillac Mountain, and Bass Harbor Lighthouse What up Road Trip Warriors!? I wanted to follow up with what I did on my second day spent in Acadia National Park. I spent about three hours shopping and walking around Bar Harbor, went back to Thunder-Hole, drove to the…
Ten Hours in Acadia National Park! What up Road Trip Warriors!? I wanted to share what you can experience while spending a day at one of the most scenic locations in Maine, Acadia National Park. The park offers rocky cliffs, stunning beaches, daring hikes, and is located about fifteen minutes away from Bar Harbor! Here…
Finally Made it Home I took a couple days off from posting anything because I was traveling home for the past two days. Both travel days were BRUTAL. Rapid City, South Dakota to Saratoga, Springs New York is not a scenic drive. It is a lot of farms, back by Chicago, Illinois, more farms, by…
The Badlands and Back to Wall Drug!! I finally hit my fourth and final national park is just eleven days...and it did not come without a painful hour-and-a-half drive either. The reason it was painful (for those that are curious) was that I had to drive on the worst gravel I had ever been on…
Black Hills National Forest, Black Elk Peak, and Wall Drug!! I want to preface this post by stating that South Dakota is so underrated! It has so many great attractions besides Mount Rushmore (which I skipped seeing because I don't feel it is worth it). The Black Hills, Rapid City, Hill City, Badlands National Park,…

Grand Teton National Park!! I have been longing to see Teton Mountain Range for at least two years now. I even have a tattoo based off of the range on my left arm. When I planned this trip, I made sure that I would see these magnificent, jagged peaks. I drove 2.5 hours from West…
Eight-and-a-half Hours in Yellowstone National Park What up Road Trip Warriors!? So I spent 8.5 hours today driving around Yellowstone National Park hitting all the major attractions and stopping by at some of the smaller ones as well. I drove through forests, snowy mountain roads, rain, and by numerous bison and elk! It was a…
West Glacier, Montana --> Yellowstone National Park, Montana/Wyoming It was about a seven hour drive from West Glacier Montana to Western Yellowstone, Montana. The drive took me through small mountain towns surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Perhaps my favorite town was Ennis, a town in Madison County, Montana. It had some small restaurants, quaint log homes,…
HARDEST HIKE I HAVE EVER DONE Today I hiked the Mount Brown Lookout Trail in Glacier National Park. It is ten miles round trip and one of the more difficult hikes in the park. To put the difficulty into perspective, in five miles you gain around 4,250' of elevation gain. It is steep the entire…
