America’s West

Jul 4

It’s the 4th of July. What a better way to celebrate independence than to consider exploring some of America’s greatest National Parks! We recently (3 days ago!) returned from an incredible 18-day trip traipsing around the great out-west. We wanted to share our itinerary along with some tips to help you make the most of your time as you discover some of what makes America great!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be posting blogs that cover each of the Parks we’ve visited, including restaurant suggestions, route info (this is a game changer to maximize your time!), and suggestions of fun activities to make your trip memorable. As we post, we will create links so that you can see a breakdown for each day.

For now… we wanted to give you the bare bones of our itinerary. We hope this will save you time as we have done the research for you!
