While exploring Capitol Reef National Park, we hit an unexpected (and literal) bump in the road and ended up in Provo, Utah! Considering how long we were on the road, it’s honestly shocking that we didn’t have more issues with our truck or Airstream. I mean, if we were living at home we’d surely have some problems with our house. Now imagine dragging that house behind a huge truck and driving it all across the country!
Canyonlands National Park is the largest park in Utah. Despite its size, or maybe because of it, it was significantly less crowded than any of the other Utah parks we visited.
It’s no less beautiful than Zion or Arches, it’s just less well-known and there’s more space for people to spread out in.

Read MorePetrified Forest National Park— a place where you can wander through the woods and the desert at the same time and not see a single leaf! Sounds like the beginnings of a bad riddle, but that’s exactly what we found in our most recent adventure through the rainbow forest of petrified wood.
Read MorePetrified Forest National Park is filled with— you guessed it— petrified wood in a rainbow of colors. You may remember, we’ve already visited a national park in Arizona, but it’s a big place and there’s plenty to see! Sometimes the scale of these parks can be deceiving. Most are so large that there’s no way you could see an entire park in a day, let alone all the parks in one state, so plan accordingly!

Read MoreWhen we first got to Carlsbad, the whole state was shut down. So we quickly changed plans and explored throughout Texas and New Mexico, hitting up Guadalupe Mountains National Park and White Sands National Park. By the time we had explored those areas, Carlsbad had opened back up! We decided that as long as we were nearby, we might as well check it out.
Read MoreWhite Sands is one of the newest and most unique national parks in the country. White Sands is exactly what it sounds like— a huge expanse of white sand, actually gypsum, which is a substance found in toothpaste and drywall. This gypsum dune field is nearly 275 square miles large, which is so huge that it can be seen from space. I know it might not sound super exciting, but I can’t overestimate how beautiful and majestic it is to look upon miles and miles of gleaming white sand dunes.
