Mt. Rushmore in all its glory! When I was preparing for vanlife I did a lot of research and of course watched many Youtube videos of active vanlife vloggers. By far my favorite vanlife vlogger and probably overall Youtuber is Adventure Van Man! Be sure to check out his channel. He posted a video aContinue reading “South Dakota!”

Bikepacking the Maah Daah Hey Trail – North Dakota
Bikepacking the Maah Daah Hey Trail has been on my radar for years since I very first discovered the sport of bikepacking back in the mid 2000’s. It’s a 150 mile long trail that runs through the Badlands of North Dakota.. Here is my bike leaning against the ruins of Theodore Roosevelt’s Cabin just outsideContinue reading “Bikepacking the Maah Daah Hey Trail – North Dakota”
Windy Mountain Loop
Thain Creek Campground outside of Great Falls Montana. If you look closely you can see my shower tent set up to the left of my van. It worked great. It consisted of a rechargeable battery powered pump and shower head, a bucket full of warm water and this pop up shower/changing tent I got ofContinue reading “Windy Mountain Loop”
Glacier National Park
Jumping for joy at Grinnell Glacier at Glacier National Park After a great stay in Whitefish MT, it was time to make my way to Glacier National Park. As a national park lover I have always dreamed of visiting GNP. It has always been so highly recommended. I have probably visited Yellowstone NP at leastContinue reading “Glacier National Park”
Whitefish!
My magical minivan that takes me to magical places. My research told me that Whitefish was going to be a stellar mountain biking destination. Whitefish has several large trail networks including a bike resort. While the town definitely has a resort/touristy vibe its a good one. I stopped by the local bike shop to get theContinue reading “Whitefish!”
Clark Fork River Trail – Vanlife
Riding the Clark Fork River Trail outside of St. Regis Montana. Cherries! These were the best cherries I have ever had. I got them at a road side stand in the small town of St. Regis. I also purchased a very good latte (the best one in Montana!) from a little drive thru stand butContinue reading “Clark Fork River Trail – Vanlife”

The city was blazing hotContinue reading “Riding Chilcoot Pass Loop – Epic Backcountry MTB”
Mountain Biking and Vanlife on the Continental Divide
After leaving Bozeman I had to make a decision to head to Helena or Butte. Both had good recommendations and great trail systems but due to a more reliable recommendation I went to Butte. Just before you hit town I came across this campsite off Homestake Pass. Thinking back this was the best campsite outContinue reading “Mountain Biking and Vanlife on the Continental Divide”
Bozeman Montana – Mountain Biking and Vanlife
After 8 days in the Beartooth Mountains it was time to make my way into Montana. Here I am on the Beartooth Highway taking a selfie by the state line marker. My first stop in Montana was the fast growing town of Bozeman. I took a stroll downtown and bought a new book. I alsoContinue reading “Bozeman Montana – Mountain Biking and Vanlife”
Fishing in the Beartooth Mountains Wyoming – Vanlife
The Absaroka/Beartooth mountain range is a pure slice of heaven. I have been coming to this area on and off since the early 2000s. I would usually stay at a old hunting cabin located in the Sunlight Basin about 30 minutes away but we would frequent Fantan and Sawtooth Lakes which offer stunning scenery, excellentContinue reading “Fishing in the Beartooth Mountains Wyoming – Vanlife”
