US Canada Rocky Mountains National Parks Trip
oIf to think, there are only a few road trips that I would repeat without any changes a few more times. And this Canada-US Rocky Mountains road trip is one of them. What I will describe further is our July trip. Except for Glacier, we spent the only day in each region. However, it could…
Lassen National Park
If one day someone asks me what my two favorite California National Parks are, I would say Lassen and Redwoods. No, not Yosemite – that is amazing but always busy, sometimes way too busy to be enjoyable. Not Death Valley, which is though very likable but still is a desert that is deadly half of…
Bavaria Roadtrip
It was the most unforgettable trip I ever had. The mix of impressive Alps and fairy tale villages and castles, what could be better? The only regret that I had only four days, otherwise I would explore more. We started in Munich Airport, picked the rental car and en route. Here my plans crashed the…
Early Fall in Grand Teton

Yosemite Hike
Do you have one track that you never able to complete? Always something happens. Weather, timing, closures… For me its four mile trail that starts from Yosemite Valley and slowly climbs up to Glacier Point. On our first visit, it was so hot so after a mile of the hike, my not trained body gave…
Glacier National Park
A few years ago we bought National Park journal, where you need to put stickers and dates of your visits, eventually earning a regional sticker. Of course, I cannot leave empty spaces in it. I felt like I must visit at least all of the western parks. And Glacier eventually became my top of the…
