Road Trip Route 66 | The Grand Canyon | Vegas to Flagstaff to Albuquerque

Posted on by Posted in Albuquerque, Arizona, Flagstaff, Key West to Dead Horse, Las Vegas, Nevada, New Mexico, Road Trips 7 Comments

We spent the last couple of weeks on our road trip in quite a few large cities so we decided it was time for the pendulum to swing back in the other direction and get back in touch with mother nature. What better way to do that than to visit one of her grandest creations? Over the course of 4 days we were able to visit the Grand Canyon plus two other national parks, get our “kicks” on Route 66, spend some time in one of the Midwest’s oldest cities, and visit more local breweries! How you ask? By taking a road trip routed through Las Vegas, NV to Flagstaff, AZ to Albuquerque, NM of course!

Posted on by Posted in California, Key West to Dead Horse, Las Vegas, Nevada, Oregon, Portland 1 Comment

After having a great time in the Pacific Northwest we decided to take our trip to a much warmer climate. On our last trip in the area we took Highway 101 South along the Pacific Coast to Northern California. This time we decided to switch it up a bit and head towards the inland and made a stop off in Redding, CA before hitting Reno and Las Vegas in Nevada for a little rambling and gambling.

Visiting the Pacific Northwest | Vancouver, BC | Portland, OR | Road Trip Update

Posted on by Posted in British Columbia, Canada, Key West to Dead Horse, Oregon, Portland, Vancouver 2 Comments

After spending weeks in the remote portions of Canada and Alaska we both welcomed a few days of city life. Don’t get me wrong, we both love nature and all, but we hadn’t been to a major city in weeks! We decided to solve this road trip dilema by visiting the Pacific Northwest.  We spent a few days in Vancouver, BC before we left Canada and made our way to Portland, OR.  We spent a total of 4-nights in the area and had a wonderful time exploring two new cities and experiencing the city life.

Road Trip Route Tok, AK to Vancouver, BC along the Cassiar & Trans-Canada Highway

After touring the majority of Alaska, it was time for us to take our road trip South and back to the lower 48 states. We didn’t want to take the Alaskan Highway all the way back trough the Eastern Side of the Rockies and repeat our trip North so we decided to take the Cassiar Highway along the western Rockies and through BC instead. It was an amazing 1863 mile trip over a period 5 days that took us from Tok, Alaksa through the entirety of British Columbia  and ending in beautiful Vancouver BC.

Road Trip Update: Alaska’s Interior Route from Fairbanks to Anchorage to Valdez

Posted on by Posted in Alaska, Anchorage, Fairbanks, Key West to Dead Horse, Road Trips, Tok, Valdez 6 Comments

Our latest update on our Florida to Alaska road trip takes us through the remainder of Alaska’s Interior on a route going from Fairbanks to Anchorage and the coastal city of Valdez. We weren’t originally planning on spending so much time in Alaska but the combination of it’s immense size, beauty, exotic location, and so many things to do, made us stay for as long as we could. We covered 1000 miles over 6 days and had such an amazing time that we’ve added Alaska to one of the places we would consider living!
