We started today by checking out of our motel in Monticello. I was more than happy to get out of there because the motel’s wifi connection was truly abysmal, and being without internet access makes me cranky. We moved to Moab for…
Black Canyon of the Gunnison is scary
We’re checked into a tiny motel in Monticello, Utah for the next few days. On the drive here from Aspen earlier today, we took a short detour so that we could stop at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
We climbed Pikes Peak

We started our second day at Glacier National Park by heading up to the Many Glacier area, which is a bit more remote and considered by many to be the best that the park has to offer. We weren’t in…
