Road-trip Day 17 – Dead Horse State Park and the Drive to Mesa Verde National Park

by Drew Hartley | Dec 31, 2019 | Dead Horse State Park, National and State Parks, Roadtrip

On Day 17 we said farewell to Archview RV Resort and Campground after 5 good nights. Before we left town we ventured over to Dead Horse Point State Park for one last awe-inspiring canyon experience. They have a beautiful view of the Colorado river cutting through what...

Road-trip Day 16 – Canyonlands National Park: Mesa Arch and lots of Viewpoints

by Drew Hartley | Oct 8, 2019 | Canyonlands NP, Great Hikes, National and State Parks, Roadtrip

Today we went to explore and hike Canyonlands National Park.  The kids (and Drew) slept in a little later (yay!) and we were a little slower getting out of our campground today.  But we followed the same approach we’ve been taking – get up and...

Road-trip Day 13 – Canyonlands National Park Visitor Center

by Drew Hartley | Aug 8, 2019 | Canyonlands NP, National and State Parks, Roadtrip

We picked our new campground because it is strategically located in the middle of Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park, meaning we can stay in one place for 6 nights.  It also means we have flexibility on which park to go to each day.  We love...
