Dinosaur National Monument and Glenwood Springs
We had a great last weekend on the Western Slope of Colorado. Our first stop was Dinosaur National Monument. Thousands of fossils have been extracted from the site and over 1,500 have been left embedded in the cliff face. Based on fossils of clams in the area, this was likely a river bed that dinosaur…

Mount Garfield and Moab
Another great week out west! We went on a very cool hike during the week at Mount Garfield near Palisades. It was a narrow, steep trail that was pretty scary in places but there were great views at the top and we saw a wild horse! This weekend we headed to Arches National park. We…

Grand Junction, CO
We’ve had a great first week in Grand Junction, CO. We went on three really cool hikes. First to the Liberty Cap in Colorado National Monument. Then the Serpents Trail which was originally used by cars to travel through the Monument. It was dubbed the crookedest road in America and before cars were built with…

Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons
We passed through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons on our way from Superior, MT down to Grand Junction, CO and saw all the sights. Old Faithful went off as predicted at 3:35pm on the dot. All the othermal features we’re steaming and bubbling away. And the Grand Canyon was just as grand as ever. We…

Goodbye, Great Falls
Today is our last day in Great Falls. The locals told us to keep it a secret but I’ll go ahead and say it, Great Falls is great! One last thing that I was able to squeeze in was a visit to the Charles M. Russell museum in Great Falls. The cowboy artist’s log cabin…

Helena Birthday Weekend
We took a quick trip to Helena this weekend to celebrate my birthday. To kick things off on Friday though, Chris ordered Lombardi’s pizza all the way from NY and a key lime pie from they keys! He also flew in bagels and we made bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches just like the ones we’ve…

Bozeangeles
This weekend we headed to Bozeman or as Great Falls locals called it, Bozeangeles. I’m assuming as a reference to the recent influx of Californians. I don’t blame anyone for flocking to the city because the drive there alone was incredibly beautiful. We went on a fun hike right outside the city to the Montana…
