Explore the journey — one trail, museum, meal, and memory at a time.
Golden Spike / Spiral Jetty
A sluggish morning at the Sun Tunnels turned into a long, careful drive across Utah’s back roads—past sheep herders on horseback, trailers arranged like small inward-facing communities, and miles of washboard dirt—ending with quiet reflection at Golden Spike and a solitary sunset arrival at Spiral Jetty.
Capitol Reef National Park and Butch Cassidy
A slow morning in Capitol Reef National Park turned into a day shaped by history. From the working orchards of Fruita and the massive Fremont cottonwoods known as the Silent Sentinels, to roadside petroglyphs and a humble stop at Butch Cassidy’s childhood home, the drive west became a reminder that this landscape has been lived in, marked, and worked for centuries.
Harpers Ferry - Day 2
I started my day near Harpers Ferry, grabbed breakfast in Charles Town, then hiked the Maryland Heights Loop—the steep climb, the fort, and the overlook were worth every step. After lunch at The Rabbit Hole and watching a freight train blast through town, I caught sunset at Antietam and ended the night quietly at Planet Fitness.
