It’s fun to look back on the year and see all our adventures. Obviously, living and traveling full time in an RV, we have a lot! You can see the 2021 post here. As for 2022? well, take a look at my picks below. I wanted to limit it to 12 but that didn’t work …
We don’t hike often because it seems to bother my knee the most. However, I made an exception for Lone Pine Lake. Both my brother and my sister have hiked the amazing Mt. Whitney here, but my knee would never allow that so Derek and I settled for a 6.5 mile hike that got us …
There is a lot to see here in Lava Beds National Monument. The blog post about our first day of caving is here. After riding out to Captain Jack’s Stronghold the other day, we spent another day caving and even added on a short hike. Day 2 of caving was chilly. I think it was …
We’ve been to a few caves on our travels with the most well known being Carlsbad Caverns. We also stumbled upon a really cool one in Arizona called Coronado. Lava Beds National Monument just south of the Oregon border is a whole area of lava caves. Eruptions over 30,000 years ago formed 900+ lava tube …
Mt Scott in Crater Lake National Park is the highest point in the park at 8,938′. I hiked Garfield Peak a couple days before and I think that’s a harder hike but both are doable. The hike to the peak of Mt. Scott and back is about 4.5 miles round-trip with somewhere around 1500′ of …
August is already here and there is so much to do! I’ve been riding a lot in the afternoon/evenings. The other evening I got caught in a quick downpour and it was heavenly. The smell of rain in the forest always delights me. Actually, the smell of rain anywhere is a treat. The other day …
The only way to get to the water at Crater Lake is via Cleetwood Cove Trail. This trail is pretty short but very sweet. The trail descends from Rim Road via a series of switchbacks through the trees and then bam, you’re down at the water. It’s a dusty trail and can be hot in the …
Spring Creek is a sacred area of the Klamath Tribe and I can see why. The water is ridiculously clear and cold. We hiked up to the headwaters where water bubbles up through the sandy bottom and seeps out of the banks through lava rock. So cool. I’ve been to springs before, where water gushes …
Before the Mazama campground here at Annie Creek opens, Derek and I took advantage of the solitude and hiked down into the canyon. The trail was partially covered in snow still so we had to improvise. Annie Canyon Trail goes along the rim of the campground and then descends down into the canyon. We couldn’t …
The Crater Lake area has a lot of hiking options and one evening I did a really quick one by our campspot. Godfrey Glen is only about 1.2 miles itself but I did a bunch of extra credit hiking to make it longer. The trail is fairly flat overall and more of a path. It …
