Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is located Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is located in northern Michigan along the shores of Lake Michigan, and it is such a beautiful park. We loved exploring the sand dunes and couldn’t believe how tall some of them were! Some of the bluffs rise 450 feet above Lake Michigan—how crazy is that?! During our visit we hiked several trails, walked along the sand dunes, explored the boardwalk that juts over the edge of one of the bluffs, and drove the scenic loop. There is so much to do at Sleeping Bear Dunes and we barely scratched the surface—next time we visit we’d love to do more hikes, kayak, tube on the river, and maybe even scuba dive off the shore!
Arches National Park is one of five national parks Arches National Park is one of five national parks in Utah. There are over 2,000 natural stone arches in the park and many other fantastic rock formations. We were able to check out plenty of arches during our visit to the park—two of the most notable ones we stopped at were Double Arch and Delicate Arch. Double Arch is located in “The Widows Section” of the park and it is easy pretty easy to reach as it’s a short walk from the parking lot. The hike to reach Delicate Arch is 3 miles roundtrip, or you can view the arch from farther away via two viewpoints that are easier to access. We decided to hike to the base of the arch, and on the way there, we realized we forgot our water bottle. We definitely don’t recommend doing that, especially during the heat of the summer, but the hike was well worth it for an up-close view of the arch!
Out of all the national parks in the United States Out of all the national parks in the United States, Badlands National Park and Everglades National Park are the ones we’ve visited the most. This is mainly due to family trips and proximity to our current and past homes. We’ve been to Badlands National Park for both work and on family trips, and we’ve always enjoyed exploring the diverse landscapes. Some of our favorite sights are the layered rock formations and canyons, and we also love the wildlife like bison, prairie dogs, mule deer and bighorn sheep!
We’ve been to the Grand Canyon twice and both vi We’ve been to the Grand Canyon twice and both visits were to different parts of the canyon. Our first trip was spent on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, and the second trip was spent at Grand Canyon West. All of these images are from our second trip to the canyon, and I have to say that it is gorgeous no matter where you are! We loved the more untouched nature at the South Rim of the park, and some of our favorite things to do were hiking the trails, visiting museums, and driving the scenic roads. The adventures at Grand Canyon West were pretty fun, too—we went ziplining, hiking, horseback riding, and walked on the glass skywalk. One adventure we really want to do on a return visit to the Grand Canyon National Park is to hike to the bottom of the canyon and spend a night or two at the Phantom Ranch—we are crossing our fingers for a lottery win someday! We’d love to explore the North Rim of the park someday, too :)
