The time finally came for us to kiss the USA goodbye and take our Florida to Alaska road trip across the border to visit our neighbors to the North in Canada! We clocked over 2020 miles as we drove across 3 Provinces and two US states. Our drive took us through Banff, AB, along the Alaska Highway, and ended in Tok, AK.
When Lauren and I travel we make it a point to always look for places that are off the beaten path. This holds especially true when we are looking for somewhere to eat. We normally look for a locally owned non-chain restaurant to ensure we are giving back to the community. While visiting Keystone, we found Chimayo Mexican Grill, and felt like it was good enough to review and share with the world.
We managed to tour four National Parks while traveling from Rapid City, SD to Kalispel, MT. It was exhausting but we were able to see so much history and wildlife in one place it was worth it. If we weren’t on our way to Alaska we could have easily stayed in this area for another two weeks and seen so much more!
If you ever find yourself in San Antonio and are looking for real mesquite smoked barbecue, there is one place that should be on the top of your list: Texas Pride BBQ. It’s arguably the best barbecue restaurant in San Antonio, TX. Don’t just take my word for it, they’ve won a bunch of awards and have even been featured on Guy Fieri’s Tripple-D! We checked it out while on our last road trip through Texas, and just had to to tell ya’ll about it!
Over the last 5 days we’ve covered another 2000 miles going from Richmond, KY to Rapid City, SD. Our trip has taken us through 7 different states as we’ve crossed through the Midwest. We’ve seen some awesome sights, met some wonderful new friends, and enjoyed all the lush colors of Fall.
