July 13 – 15, 2016: We arrived at Center Lake Campground, in Custer State Park in South Dakota, in the early evening after driving the Spearfish Canyon State and National Forest Scenic Byway on the way from Devils Tower, Wyoming. The scenic drive was pretty, with stops for a few waterfalls, but nothing spectacular.
July 10 – 12, 2016: Glacier National Park marked the northernmost point on our epic 2016 road trip and, unfortunately, we are now slowly headed back east to New Jersey.
June 30 – July 5, 2016: After experiencing the grandeur of Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Wyoming overall, we were expecting to be somewhat disappointed by whatever destination was next. However, we instead found ourselves very much enjoying the magnificent scenery of Montana.
June 22 – 26, 2016: We entered Grand Teton National Park from the east and started our hunt for a campsite.
June 10 – 20, 2016: Over the course of ten days we took advantage of the craft beer mecca of Colorado, stopping in at eight breweries and two renowned beer bars:
June 7 – 8, 2016: After hiking the dunes in Great Sand Dunes National Park, we headed to Elevation Beer Company in Poncha Springs, Colorado before retiring to our campsite on the Arkansas River in Salida.
May 31 – June 6, 2016: After departing Chaco Culture National Historic Park, we headed towards Albuquerque. We spent a few days in the Albuquerque / Santa Fe / Taos area and enjoyed a sampling of the culture and activities as well as a fantastic visit with family (whom took the time to show us around).
May 25 – 27, 2016: We departed Sedona for Flagstaff, Arizona and drove over some very beautiful and mountainous terrain.
May 20 – 22, 2016: We departed Tucson in the evening for the short drive to Phoenix. After stopping mid-way for fuel, Camper Dan wouldn’t start back up. He just wanted to sit right where he was, at the fuel pump of a gas station off Interstate I-10.
