Miles driven: Zion to Grand Canyon – 250 With the endless possibilities that planning a cross county road trip presents, one of the first “bucket list” items I put on the itinerary was watching the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Now, as embarrassing as it is to admit that this wish may have been inspired […]

Miles driven: Arches to Zion National Park – 340  Okay. First and foremost, Zion is incredible. Hands down one of the best national parks we’ve been to (since our total is now at two). That being said, I’m happy I’m alive. Kiley took the reigns on researching what hikes we should do in our less than […]

 Miles driven: Steamboat, CO to Moab, UT – 300 I’m going to sit down and articulate our Utah leg of this adventure in writing soon, but until then, here’s a peek at our evening hike through Arches National Park out to the Delicate Arch. We left about an hour before sunset, and the colors were […]

Author’s note: I’m sorry for the delay on this post. Not only did we leave Steamboat for the desert with limited wifi, but it was rather daunting to write one blog post that encompasses the fun we had this past weekend. So, here goes… Miles driven: Denver to Steamboat – 200 At a wedding back […]

Miles driven: St. Louis, MO to Evergreen, CO – 870 On Thursday, we drove from St. Louis to Denver. It was a twelve and half hour drive that felt surprisingly quick. At this point, it’s only our second long day of driving so far, and we aren’t sure if we should feel proud of how […]

 Miles driven: Nashville to St. Louis – 315 When traveling through St. Louis, Missouri, it’s obvious what you’re supposed to do: visit the arch. The Gateway to the West…an obvious stop on our trip, well, west. After a morning in Nashville and a four and a half hour drive through Kentucky and Illinois (which felt […]

Miles driven: Maybe 10? Back and forth form our cottage to downtown Nashville Tuesday was a “bucket list” kind of day. I’ve been dreaming of visiting Nashville for a while now. Not only was it a logical stop in the central-ish part of the country on our drive out west, but it is also an […]

Miles driven: Greenwich to Nashville – 930 Fourteen hours in the car. Let that sit and marinate for a second. Neither Randi nor I had ever attempted a car ride of that length in one straight shot before. But, why not dive in head first on this road trip and do our longest drive on Day […]

I’m jumping in the car (for a long time!) and headed on a cross country road trip with one of my closest college friends and teammates, Randi. We’ll be leaving at the beginning of August and posting highlights (and lowlights…but hopefully they’re limited!) from our adventure to this blog.
