✨Scenes from my favorite US national park ✨

After 50 national parks, this one is still my favorite! Glacier is one of my favorite places on earth. From the wildlife to the alpine lakes, it’s full of so many stunning views that have left me in awe during each visit 🫶

Make sure you leave no trace and come prepared for your visit. You’ll need to hike with bear spray, pack everything out and have a backup plan if your parking lot is full.

Need to Know:

🎫Vehicle reservations are required to enter between 7AM - 3PM at the Going-to-the-Sun West Entrance and North Fork. You can get them at 7PM the night before

🧊Even with the reservations, it can be hard to get a parking spot at Logan’s Pass (where you would hike the Highline Trail and to Hidden Lake). Go early in the morning if you plan to hike these.

A few of the best things to do in Glacier:

🚗Drive Going-to-the-Sun road

🥾Hike the Highline Trail

🥾Hike the Hidden Lake Overlook Trail

🛶Kayak on Lake McDonald

🥾Hike to Upper Two Medicine Lake

🍥Savor a huckleberry bearclaw from Polebridge Mercantile

🥾Hike to Iceberg Lake

✨Scenes from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks ✨

I had an amazing time visiting these 2 parks over the holiday weekend! Highlights included…

🪻Admiring the many wildflowers, some of which were growing right next to ancient sequoia trees

🌳Seeing the largest tree in the world (by volume) 🤯

🪨Climbing to the top of granite domes

💦Enjoying waterfalls in both parks

A few tips:

🚌Some of the parking lots in Sequoia fill up during peak times, but they have a free shuttle system to get you where you need to go

🗣️As usual, I used the audio tour to learn about the parks as I drove!

💠Make a reservation in advanced if you’re interested in touring Crystal Cave in Sequoia. It recently reopened after being closed for 4 years!

I had the best time in this underrated Midwest city! Norfolk is best known for being the hometown of Johnny Carson, but I was blown away by the whitewater tubing, the walkable downtown and the many local businesses that make this town thrive. Add Norfolk to your list!

Do you enjoy a unique stay? Here are some of my favorite stays from all over the world!

Which one are you adding to your bucket list?

La Casa del Mundo, Guatemala: This magical hotel sits on Lake Atitlan and offers a hot tub, swimming, amazing smoothies and more.

Aruba Airstream: Escape the tourist zone and enjoy your own private pool and birdwatching in Aruba! You can also hike directly from the property.

Out'n'About Treehouse Treesort, Oregon: Stay in a treehouse in Cave Junction, Oregon! This is the oldest treehouse resort in the US, and they’ve done an amazing job designing it to minimize damage to the trees.

Cliff Bay Hotel, Madeira, Portugal: This luxurious stay has incredible ocean views and a stunning pool area built around a cliff.

The yurts in Bayfield, Wisconsin: You’ll have to take a short hike to reach this unique and rustic stay! It has amazing views and is very close to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Tromso Ice Domes, Norway: Have you considered sleeping inside of a hotel made of ice? This stay also includes food and adventures such as snowshoeing and dog sledding.

The Big Idaho Potato Hotel, Idaho: Stay inside a potato in Idaho! The potato and bathroom next door is decorated beautifully, and you’ll get to meet Dolly the cow, who is super friendly.
