As a response to overcrowding at Rocky Mountain National Park, a timed entry system was introduced in 2022. Rocky Mountain National Park is not the only national park using this system. Arches National Park, Glacier National Park, and Yosemite National Park have all used the timed entry system. Other parks such as Shenandoah National Park …
The sand dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park are massive. Until you’re standing there in person, it can be hard to really grasp the scale. As you drive up to the park and see the dunes in the distance, they look huge. However, it’s not until you’re standing out there that you can really …
“My God… That’s spectacular.” On our final tour at Mammoth Cave National Park, the man directly in front of us said this exact line every single time we turned a corner. No, I’m not exaggerating. While I didn’t share his same enthusiasm, I will say that Mammoth Cave is pretty cool. Some of these rock …
Seville, also called Sevilla, is one of many people’s favorite cities in Spain. It’s the home of flamenco dancing, is light on historical sites (although there’s still plenty to keep you busy on a short visit), and is a great place to just slow down and take a break from a fast paced itinerary. I …
If you’re road tripping through New England, you’ll likely have added Stowe, Vermont and the Berkshires in Massachusetts to your itinerary. Both of these are top sights and should not be missed.

Several years ago, my dad was sent on a job to Kansas where he found out about a The Wizard of Oz museum. Ever since then, it’s been on my mom’s bucket list since The Wizard of Oz is her favorite movie of all time. As a birthday present, she and I visited Wamego, Kansas …
If you’re road tripping through the southwest United States, you may find your visit starting in Las Vegas. While you could immediately head to the Grand Canyon, you can squeeze in some sightseeing first. Look at taking a less direct route and instead going from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam to the Grand Canyon. …
During my impromptu trip to Zurich, Switzerland, I decided to spend one of my days making a day trip to Vaduz, Liechtenstein. This tiny country is nestled in the Alps, right between Switzerland and Austria. It’s a pretty easy day trip to do, but Liechtenstein doesn’t rank very high on the excitement level. That still …
When I road tripped down the United States’ east coast, I couldn’t help but add Congaree National Park to my itinerary. It just fit in so seamlessly. But as I started researching, I noticed something. There’s fewer things to do at Congaree National Park than at other national parks across the United States. That’s not …
