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 :)
Our visit to Mount Rainier National Park was all t Our visit to Mount Rainier National Park was all too brief. We were working on a video project and had to get a bit of footage of the national park, and we really didn’t much have time to explore. Unfortunately, our visit also coincided with massive wildfires in the surrounding region. The mountain and sights were still beautiful though, even with the hazy skies. Next time we visit we want to hike some of the park’s trails and explore beyond the main roads and visitor center. Hopefully we can plan another visit to Mount Rainier National Park soon!
We weren’t sure what to expect when we went to G We weren’t sure what to expect when we went to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, but we were definitely surprised with what we found! Before our visit, we had no idea that there was a large desert with sand dunes in the middle of the Colorado mountains! The dunes here are the tallest dunes in North America and the sit in the middle of a wide range of landscapes. During our visit, we spent some time wading in Medano Creek, and we rented sand sleds and sand boards to take out on the dunes. After playing in the freezing water, we hiked onto the dunes and then rode down some of the steepest ones we could find. It was such a strange experience and so much fun. We were also pretty surprised how hard it was to stay on the boards—we had more wipe outs than we could count! When we got back to our hotel that night, we couldn’t stop laughing. We had sand EVERYWHERE! It was stuck to my scalp, in my hair, ears, and fingernails, and caked all over under my clothes. And days later, we were still finding sand all over the place!
