I’m no stranger to UTVs, but this had my stomach in my throat a few times. And to top it off, we were watching 4×4 JEEPS go up and down the same slick rocks! 

When I saw Ashley National Forest on the map, I did a double take. My very own forest?! One thing was certain, I was figuring out how to add this stop to our month-long USA road trip.

I asked Cameron what type of dinosaur he was and without hesitation he blurted out…a Tyrannosaurus-sex. I, on the other hand, said I was a Pterodactyl, and he immediately corrected me and said “Terrible-dactyl”! Ahem…RUDE!

So stinkin cute! Steamboats Springs Colorado had been on my list for awhile…but who knew it’d be the Steamboat Springs restaurants that stole the show.

Custer State Park South Dakota is a must add to your Mount Rushmore vacation. Sylvan Lake + Sunday Gulch is a perfect family vacation spot.

The sheer size, craftsmanship, + level of detail of Mt Rushmore is INCREDIBLE! Especially, with the technology + tools available in 1927. It took 14 years to complete, + many workers started the project + never saw it completed.

Highline Trail Glacier National Park Montana…aka 11.6 miles + 40,000 steps! My knees were screaming, but it was worth every single step.

Paddle boarding on Flathead Lake, hiking Tongue River Canyon in Bighorn National Forest, baby Bambi, awesome BBQ, + a spacious cabin. Mic drop.

Bozeman often tops lists of the best places to live in Montana. The population has increased more than 40% in the last decade. Is California to blame?

Our stay at Robert Redford’s Sundance Resort in Utah was pure magic. Massive mountains, a cozy cabin, live music, fine-dining, + longtime friends.
