A short distance off of I-64 in New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia is an old rails-to-trails. It’s not especially well known or well-traveled, but it is a pretty little ride beside Glade Creek. I started at the…
If I could only choose one trail to hike in northwestern Yellowstone, it would be the Lamar River Trail. I’m crazy about meadows and mountain views, but beyond that, we also saw more wildlife than on any other trail we’ve…
The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park is really only set up for hiking long distances. Chesler Park, Druid Arch, Wooden Shoe Canyon, Big Spring Canyon, and Peek-a-boo Trail all play this out fairly well. It’s also set up for…

The Chocolate Pots are an overlooked attraction between the Artist Paint Pots and Norris in Yellowstone National Park. In some ways, it makes sense that the overlook doesn’t even have a sign (it’s not that exciting!), but if you have…
