Grand Canyon National Park

Posted on April 8, 2017 by Heather Gebbia

On our way out west we are passing by some areas that we visited a couple of years ago. Grand Canyon is one of those that is worth repeating. We were excited to be there when they got a little bit of snow. We don’t see snow very often so this was a treat for us.

Arizona does not observe daylight savings time so at this time of the year they are on the same time as Pacific. That means that the sun comes up pretty early in the morning and we were up bright and early to witness our first snowy day of 2017. This was at the Trailer Village RV Park right inside the national park. We love staying right in the park because they have bus transportation to take you where you want to go. And they have restaurants and lodges that are fun to visit.

I know it’s not much but it was better than nothing. This was Fat Cat’s first experience with snow ever. She didn’t know what to think of the stuff!

Later in the afternoon the snow had already melted off the picnic table but it started snowing again so we brought Fat Cat back out to see how she liked it falling on her head. I think her expression in this picture is so funny!

In the morning we headed out to check out the canyon before the snow melted.

We saw lots of deer out at that time of the morning looking around for some breakfast.

The snow on the trees was so pretty!

The boys enjoyed a snowball fight.

We enjoyed this so much! I know for those of you that live in cold climates where you see snow all winter, this would not be very exciting. I’m sure a warm and sunny beach scene with palm trees would be more appealing. As one of my friends told me, it’s all in your perspective. For us Floridians, snow is a novelty to us and we enjoy it so much when we see it.

After our one day of snow the weather cleared up and we saw a spectacular Grand Canyon sunset the next evening.

We did 2 hikes while we were there. The first one was the Bright Angel trail hike.

We started down into the canyon and about a mile down we heard loud thunder and it started to storm and sleet. We know from our visit here 2 years ago that being inside the canyon during a lightning storm can be very dangerous so we abandoned the rest of that hike and went back up.

This was the start of the hike and the skies were a little cloudy but not too bad.

But then the storm clouds rolled in and it looked pretty ominous.

The next day was much better for hiking and we did our favorite hike down the South Kaibab trail. We did this hike 2 years ago, but only went as far as the Ooh Aah Point. This year we continued on down to the Cedar Ridge Point which was amazing!

Starting down the South Kaibab trail

Spectacular views every step of the way

This was on the way back up. See those ants crawling up the cliff? Those are people, and would soon be us. I was so tired at this point I didn’t think I would make it up there, but I’m here to talk about it which means I made it. 😉

Grand Canyon is such a magical place and definitely one of those places worth going back to again and again.

Next we moved on to Lake Powell in Page, AZ. Stay tuned…

Badlands National Park

Posted on October 1, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

While in South Dakota we visited Badlands National Park. I have to admit I did not have very high expectations for this park. I mean after we just spent the past month or two visiting the Tetons, Yellowstone & Glacier, I wasn’t sure anything could measure up. I am happy to report I was wrong. The Badlands are amazing! It was so beautiful and so other-worldly. I mean it seriously looked like we had landed on another planet. Hey, that’s not such a bad idea! If space travel ever becomes a “thing”, we might have to change our names from RoadSchoolers to GalaxySchoolers! 🙂

Anyway back on earth, here we are at the Badlands.

Beautiful hills that remind me of the painted desert in Arizona with wildflowers everywhere.

Oops, a little traffic jam caused by some pronghorn sheep that decided to walk in the middle of the road instead of on the endless miles of prairies off to the side.

This was after they decided to get off the road and let us drive by, thank you very much!

We started our hike at the Door Trail. This is where it especially felt like or looked like walking on another planet.

Oh no, it seems we have left bear country, but we’re back in the land of rattlesnakes. Yuck! I’m not sure which is worse. At least bears are cuter.

Next was the Window Trail.

And then the Notch Trail which had a fun ladder to climb.

The Notch Trail was my favorite. Not only was the trail itself really fun with so many cool rocks to climb, but the end of the trail had a really amazing view.

Climbing back down the ladder was a little harder than climbing up, but Jesse makes it look so easy.

Afterward he wanted to sing a song on top of a rock. 😉

The last trail we hiked was the Saddle Pass trail which was a short but steep climb. You see that pointed peak in the background? Jesse and I climbed to the top of that!

When we reached the end of the Saddle Pass Trail, Jesse and I wanted to climb to the top of that peak, so there we are — those two little dots almost to the top.

We made it! Now we look like one little dot at the top.

Climbing back down Saddle Pass was a lot harder than going up. It’s like trying to walk down a dusty slide. You might as well just sit on your butt and slide down because that’s basically how you’ll end up going down anyway. 🙂

At the end of the day, we stopped at the Visitor Center so the boys could earn their Junior Ranger badges.

On our way out of the park we passed by one of many prairie dog towns. They are so cute!

We visited the Badlands in September, and it was a very nice day (about 80ish), but it felt really hot on some of those hikes. I have heard that in the summer it gets well over 100 there. So if you plan to visit, keep in mind that the middle of summer is probably not the best time to go. I think September was great, but even October is probably very nice.

If you have ever traveled down I-90 in South Dakota, you would see many billboards advertising a tourist trap called Wall Drug. Wall Drug is close to the Badlands so we went there after the park to check it out. It’s basically just a bunch of shops and some restaurants, and you can buy any kind of SD souvenirs that you can imagine. There are also lots of fun statues for the kids to play on.

That wraps up the highlights of our time in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Next up — Minnesota!

Custer State Park and Mt. Rushmore

Posted on September 25, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

After leaving Montana and Wyoming we headed east to South Dakota and stayed at Custer State Park. This park was amazing! We all agree it should be a national park. It’s a very big park with several different areas and campgrounds. It’s definitely one of the coolest state parks we have been to. I was very thankful to get a campsite there as they start taking reservations a year in advance, but I didn’t know we would be going there until about 3 months in advance.

We had lots of excitement at our campsite every day as bison came walking through. We’re always told to never approach or go near the wildlife, but we couldn’t really help the fact that these bison were always grazing right in our campsite. Sometimes we would be sitting outside and look up to find a bison just a few feet away!

Fat Cat was pretty scared of these things. She wanted to run back in the house anytime she saw one. I think she realized this animal was much too large for her to mess with. She liked to watch from the safety of indoors.

We visited 3 different areas of this park. First was a driving tour of the Wildlife Loop. We saw some pronghorn sheep and bison on this loop, but honestly we thought the wildlife sightings back at our campsite were a lot more interesting.

The next evening we drove the Needles Highway. This was an amazing drive with spectacular scenery of these tall rock formations. I had read about this highway beforehand that mentioned 3 tunnels we would have to drive through. The tunnels are very narrow and only one vehicle can fit through at a time. As you know, our vehicle is rather large and we weren’t sure if we should do this drive. The Needles Eye Tunnel is only 8’4″ wide and our truck is about 7’10” wide. But we did it! Chris is such a good driver. 🙂

Needles Eye Tunnel – I can’t believe we drove through this!

We hiked to the Cathedral Spires which was a beautiful hike.

Then we drove to Sylvan Lake and walked the 1 mile loop around the lake. This was a such a fun hike because there are so many rocks to climb on!

There were also a couple of narrow passageways to walk through.

I really loved how the rocks reflected in the water like a mirror.

The next evening we drove the scenic Iron Mountain Road to go visit Mt. Rushmore. This road also had some tunnels, but not nearly as narrow as the Needles Highway. As we drove through the last tunnel, we could see the president’s heads in the distance.

Mt. Rushmore is one of those iconic landmarks that is a “must see” on any American road trip.

All 50 state flags are on this walkway.

The boys earned their Mt. Rushmore Junior Ranger badges.

Before we started traveling like this, I had never really given the state of South Dakota much thought. I had no idea it is such a beautiful state with so many awesome things to do. We visited Badlands National Park next, but I will save that for my next post. Cheers!

Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park

Posted on September 21, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

While we were in Glacier we decided to make a day trip up to the Canadian side of the park called Waterton Lakes. Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada and Glacier National Park in Montana, USA joined together to become the first International Peace Park in 1932. The Peace Park commemorates the friendship between the two countries. I love this because my dad is from Nova Scotia and I have many friends and relatives from Canada.

Waterton Lakes was a 3 hour drive from where we were staying near West Glacier, so we left the RV at the park in Montana and stayed in a hotel up at Waterton for one night. This was so exciting because although I have been to Canada, I had never been to Alberta. And our kids thought it was really fun to go to another country for the day. Now Jake really wants to spend a summer exploring Canada, and so do I. What a beautiful country!

Our first stop at Waterton Lakes was Red Rock Canyon. This was a lot of fun for the kids to climb on the rocks and Jesse even found some rock slides.

I think it’s pretty obvious why they called this Red Rock Canyon!

Then we got settled at our hotel before venturing out to explore Waterton Village. The village is in the middle of the national park and it is so cute! There are several hotels to choose from. We stayed at Waterton Lakes Lodge because it had an indoor pool and hot tub which we enjoyed very much. You can walk to all the restaurants and shops in the area from any of the hotels. There were lots of deer everywhere!

Even Bambi!

Waterton Lake is gorgeous!

We ate dinner at a restaurant right next to the lake. While we waited for the food the kids enjoyed playing in their “yard” and on the chair swings.

I think I look a little tired in this picture. This family sure knows how to work hard and play hard!

The next day we hiked to Bertha Falls.

Some beautiful views of the lake and mountains from the hiking trail.

Then we toured the Prince of Wales Hotel which was stunning!

This is the lake view from the hotel.

I am so glad we made this little side trip from Glacier, but our time there was too short. Like I say about most places we go, that just means we have to go back again someday. Exploring more of Alberta is now on our ever-growing bucket list.

More Random Pictures from Glacier

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

This post is basically just some more pictures of things we did at Glacier that don’t really seem to fit into a blog post all by themselves. There is so much to do at Glacier, we didn’t even get to it all so I hope to return there someday.

These first few pictures are from Avalanche Lake. The lake was beautiful, but the water level seemed really low.

One evening we brought a picnic dinner to Lake McDonald. We even met another Fulltime Family there!

Then one day we went to Two Medicine Lake. This lake was good for skipping rocks.

While visiting Glacier we spent most of the time on the west side in Hungry Horse, MT at Mountain Meadow RV Park. This park is a very nice park, but unfortunately we didn’t have a great campsite. Our site was really small and un-level, and they didn’t have any other sites we could move to. What I liked about the park is it had more of a state park feel. The sites were spread out with some trees and privacy between each one rather than all lined up together like most RV parks. Many of the sites were large and very nice, so if we ever return there I hope to get a better site. And they had a really nice common area to hang out and play games or sit by the pond.

Finally, the boys earned their Junior Ranger badges.

Glacier National Park is definitely one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. I really hope we can go back there again someday. Coming up next I have one last post about Glacier, or I should say it’s about Glacier’s sister park up in Alberta, Canada: Waterton Lakes.

Grinnell Glacier

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

The hike to Grinnell Glacier was one of my most favorite hikes ever. It was also the longest at almost 12 miles. I may have gotten some complaints later from certain family members that would prefer I keep our hikes to 8 miles or less. 🙂

We started at the Many Glacier Hotel which was designed to look like a Swiss Chalet. It was absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately we couldn’t see much of the inside because the power was out when we got there that morning. The hallways were very dark! And even later that afternoon when we returned from our hike several hours later the power was still out! I felt sorry for the people paying all that money to stay there with no power.

Many Glacier Hotel

Many Glacier Hotel is on Swiftcurrent Lake. We walked along this lake to begin our hike. There is a shuttle boat you can take from this point that will cut down on the miles of hiking to get to Grinnell Glacier if you don’t feel like hiking the entire 12 miles. But oh no, not us! We were going to hike the whole thing and not take the easy way. 🙂

Swiftcurrent Lake

Next the trail takes you along Lake Josephine. The shuttle boat would drop you off at the other end of this lake.

Lake Josephine

Once we passed Lake Josephine and were on the trail towards Grinnell Lake we noticed this sign. That’s always encouraging to see. We actually did see one bear, but from a safe distance.

From here you can take a shorter hike that takes you along the shoreline of Grinnell Lake (which is gorgeous by the way) or take the longer hike up to Grinnell Glacier. From the hike up to the Glacier you get a beautiful view of Grinnell Lake down below.

Grinnell Lake

Then it’s a steady climb the rest of the way up to the glacier.

We saw a bear playing down below. He looked so cute from our relatively safe spot up above.

Finally we made it to Grinnell Glacier, and it was incredible! There were even a few small icebergs floating around in the water.

Grinnell Glacier

It was pretty cold up there so we didn’t stick around very long. I would have liked to have stayed a lot longer and just enjoyed the view, especially after how long it took us to get there, but everyone was cold and hungry. We brought a picnic lunch but wanted to hike back down a little bit to where it was a little warmer before eating.

As we were hiking back down I was surprised to see all this lush vegetation and greenery way up where it was so cold even in August.

At this point we could see all 3 lakes that we passed on the way up: Grinnell Lake is the closest, then Lake Josephine and lastly Swiftcurrent Lake way off in the distance. Knowing we had to hike all the way back there was a little disheartening just then!

But eventually we made it back and I still think it was the best hike we’ve ever done.

The weekend we did this hike we stayed at the East Glacier/St. Mary KOA. They have a heated pool and hot tub and we really enjoyed that once we got back. We also worked up quite an appetite and enjoyed a delicious pizza at Rising Sun pizza that night. There is just something so satisfying about accomplishing such an amazing hike and then having a well earned yummy dinner that night.

Glacier: Going to the Sun and St. Mary Falls

Posted on September 17, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

In my first post about Glacier National Park I mentioned the long shuttle bus ride up to Logan Pass. Because that took so long we drove our truck the next day. What a difference! We were up to Logan Pass within an hour, and the drive was spectacular!

Going to the Sun Road

At one point beyond Logan Pass we went through a tunnel that literally looked like we were “Going to the Sun”!

Jackson Glacier

We stopped to hike to St. Mary Falls which was incredible! The trailhead parking lot was full so we ended up parking at the Sunrift Gorge trailhead just a little further down the road. That turned out to be such a blessing! I think the round-trip hike from the St. Mary Falls trailhead is only a mile or two, but from the Sunrift Gorge trailhead the round-trip hike was about 4 miles. Trust me, it’s worth it! The trail starts under this bridge. To the right you can walk up some stairs to see the Sunrift Gorge, then go to the left and walk the short trail to Baring Falls.

After Baring Falls, we hiked along the St. Mary Lake which was such a spectacular turquoise color. I was so glad we had to park farther away; otherwise, we would have missed this.

St. Mary Lake

We also got to see a moose along the trail. I’m not sure if you can see it, but there is a moose in between the trees in the middle of the picture below.

Soon we arrived at St. Mary Falls. Two waterfalls flowing into the most beautiful blue-green water — amazing!

St. Mary Falls

What a beautiful day! Next up, my favorite hike we did at Glacier — Grinnell Glacier.

Glacier National Park

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

Glacier National Park in northern Montana is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I know it seems like I say that about every place, but seriously it is!

Going to the Sun Road is the main road that goes through the park. It’s a very scenic drive, but with many tight twists and turns. We were not sure if we should drive our big dually truck on that road, so on our first day we parked at the Apgar Visitor Center and rode the shuttle bus up to Logan Pass. The shuttle bus took a really long time! From the time we parked at the visitor center it was about 2 1/2 – 3 hours before we finally got to Logan Pass to start our hike to Hidden Lake. It took about an hour of waiting in line just to catch the first shuttle bus. That bus only takes you as far as Avalanche Lake where you wait to catch another bus to continue on to Logan Pass. During the long bus rides we realized there shouldn’t be any problem driving our own truck up that road which is what we did the next day.

Anyway, it was so nice to finally get up there and get started on this amazing hike! The hike starts right behind the Logan Pass Visitor Center. The beginning of the hike was crowded, but started to thin out the further we went. These are the views at the beginning of the trail. It was surprising to still see snow in August!

A little past this point we got our first glimpse of the incredible blue-green water of Hidden Lake. Many of the lakes at Glacier are this beautiful turquoise color which is caused by the glacial melt. Speaking of which, if you want to see any of the remaining glaciers, plan to come soon. The glaciers are melting and are expected to be all gone by 2030.

Hidden Lake

Most of the crowds stop at the Hidden Lake overlook and turn around, but we decided to continue on the trail down to the lake. This is not to be missed in my opinion, although the hike back up was quite challenging.

We rested on the little beach at the bottom for awhile and enjoyed some snacks. Just look at that beautiful, clear water!

Chris taught the kids how to skip rocks over the lake.

I enjoyed this spot so much; I didn’t really want to leave, but we had a long hike back and then another long bus ride back so it was time to go. After climbing back up the hill we were rewarded with getting to watch these really cute mountain goats.

Thankfully the bus ride back went much quicker! There was an empty bus ready for us as soon as we got back to the Visitor Center. And on the way back down the bus driver told us he would take us all the way back to Apgar rather than dropping us off at Avalanche because this was his last ride of the day and he was going home. What a blessing!

The next day we skipped the bus and took our own truck. That was so much faster and very scenic! I’ll write about that in the next post.

Yellowstone: Fishing Bridge and Cody, WY

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

This is my last post about Yellowstone. It is such a huge park and there are so many different areas to visit! If you are planning a trip to Yellowstone, I would suggest spending at least 1 or 2 weeks and don’t stay at the same place the whole time. Move around to the different areas of the park as you visit each section. Otherwise you’ll spend a lot of time driving.

The last section we visited was at the east entrance to the park, the Fishing Bridge section. First we went to see the Mud Volcano and Sulphur Caldron. This was similar to the geyser basins we saw earlier in our trip in that it was interesting to see smoke and boiling substances coming from the ground. But it was not nearly as pretty as the geysers and blue pools we saw in the Old Faithful section. These were definitely muddier pots and very stinky from the sulphur.

This one definitely smelled like dragon’s breath! Eww!

Dragon’s Mouth Spring

Look at Jesse’s face! He thought the smell was so gross! 🙂

Mud Volcano

Sulphur Caldron

Pretty cool looking boiling mud pot (don’t remember what this one is called)

Then we went to the LeHardy Rapids for a picnic lunch. It was pretty cold that day and this area seemed especially cold so we ate fast and moved on.

LeHardy Rapids

Then we hiked to Natural Bridge. This started out as a hike down a road that didn’t seem like a trail so we weren’t sure we were going the right way. And we were the only people on the trail which was odd for Yellowstone. But eventually we started seeing signs to the Natural Bridge so we knew we were going the right way.

Natural Bridge

Finally we hiked the Storm Point trail along Yellowstone Lake. This was a beautiful hike! Part of the hike was through forests and another section was through a meadow where you would typically see bison grazing. However, when we walked through the meadow there were no bison in sight at that time.

0903161427_HDR

After hiking through the woods for a little while we got to the beautiful Yellowstone Lake.

0903161443_HDR

The boys loved running up and down this hill and making “sand” angels. I think they miss the beach! It’s been several months since we have been near the ocean. This is no ocean, but it sure is a huge lake!

We stayed at Buffalo Bill State Park in Cody, Wyoming while we visited the east side of Yellowstone. This was one of my favorite campsites we’ve ever had, the view from our site was incredible!

0902161926_HDR

That spot on the trail is our Fat Cat.

0901161952b_HDR

Fat Cat loved this campsite! She had lots of room to roam around and hide in the long grass and hunt rabbits.

0831160846_HDR

She also liked climbing trees. Can you see her in this tree? She is somewhat camouflaged by the branches.

0901160950a_HDR

The boys liked playing in the water but it was kind of cold.

0902161819b_HDR

Cody is a really cute and charming western town. We went to the rodeo while we were there. I have been wanting to catch a rodeo somewhere along our travels, but it seemed we were always missing them. I’m glad we made it to this one as it’s considered the “Rodeo Capital of the World”.

That wraps up my several posts about Yellowstone. If you have been reading all of them, thank you! I write these blogs mainly for my family and friends to keep up with what we’re doing, and sort of as a travel journal that we can go back and read later to remember the places we have visited. If it inspires anyone else out there to get out and travel and see these amazing places, then that is an added bonus.

Next up Glacier National Park!

Yellowstone: Hiking Mt. Washburn

Posted on September 4, 2016 by Heather Gebbia

On our last day in Gardiner, we hiked Mt. Washburn. I heard great things about this “must-do” hike from a couple of different bloggers including this one: The Best Hike in Yellowstone. I’m glad we took his advice. It was a beautiful hike! It is a little over 3 miles to the summit making it a little over 6 miles round trip. The uphill climb was hard work, but the views were so amazing it was worth it!

0813161100a_Burst14

A ranger lives at the top during the summer in the fire watchtower. Below the ranger’s living quarters is a type of small visitor center that you can go in and look at maps and information about what you are seeing off in the distance. You can even see Grand Teton from up there on a clear day!

We got a very early start that morning to make sure we could find parking at the trailhead. The beginning of the hike is through meadows and you’ll see lots of wildflowers.

0813160925_HDR

As you get closer to the top it becomes more rocky and barren. In the picture below you can see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

0813161141_HDR

This is the view from the watchtower. So beautiful!

0813161106a_HDR

I actually thought hiking back down was even more stunning, probably because on the way up I forgot to occasionally look behind me at where we had been. When I remember to do that, I realize sometimes the view behind us is even better! Since this was an up and down hike, hiking back down I saw all the views I missed on the way up.

This certainly was one of the “best hikes in Yellowstone”! I have one more post from our time in Yellowstone about our visit to the Fishing Bridge section on the east side. Stay tuned!
