Utah’s Snow Canyon State Park is an unexpected delight. It was not part of my original itinerary, but got added on when I found out it wasn’t going to be possible to do one of the hikes I wanted at Zion National Park. In the end, I think it worked out well, especially because over …
I usually find that I can cover most of the top museums in a city with just one day. Stockholm was different. Even though I crammed a lot into one day (four museums to be exact), I still didn’t get to visit everything I wanted to in Stockholm. That’s what inspired this list, where I’ll …
Stockholm is a great place to spend a few days exploring. Out of all of the cities that I visited in Scandinavia, Stockholm was the city that I didn’t quite manage to squeeze everything into. I visited a lot of museums, but left with a list of sights to see on my next visit to …
Puerto Varas is a charming town in the Chilean Lake District that provides a great jumping off point for loads of great day trips. The town is great, but the day trips are what is really awesome. From hiking on a volcano to seeing wild penguins to small towns, there’s a lot of variety to …
Valley of Fire State Park is an easy, and fun, day trip from Las Vegas. There’s plenty of hiking opportunities, but honestly, I think it’s worth it even if you only do the scenic drive and visit some view points. Despite having visited national parks in this region (the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Death Valley …
Just outside of Las Vegas, you’ll find Red Rock Canyon National Monument. This area is a beautiful preserve that provides a scenic drive and hiking opportunities, as well as plenty of rock climbing. Whether you’re looking for a day trip from Las Vegas or just a little something extra to add to a larger road …
Las Vegas makes a fantastic hub for a lot of road trips. I’ve spend ten days exploring the national parks of Utah, along with the Grand Canyon, from Las Vegas. But this trip isn’t about heading east. This is heading west toward the national parks of California. With just seven days, you’ll visit two of …
Joshua Tree National Park blew away all of my expectations. Even with nearly two full days to explore this national park, I still feel like I didn’t get to see it all. I hiked my fair share of trails, drove a scenic drive, visited viewpoints, but still left feeling like there was more to do. …
Contrary to what you may be picturing, Death Valley National Park is not a barren wasteland. You’ll find mountains, hiking, sand dunes, salt flats and more across the 3.3 million acres that make up Death Valley National Park. You won’t be able to see everything, even with a two day Death Valley itinerary, but you’ll …
One sight that you’ll see pop up again and again on itineraries in Copenhagen is Tivoli Gardens. So, it’s no surprise that I added it to my own itinerary, despite being skeptical of whether it would actually be worth it. For some travelers, I think that this is an excellent addition to a Copenhagen itinerary, …
