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.

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!”
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”

Fishing in the Beartooth Mountains Wyoming – Vanlife

Being a Colorado native there are lots of iconic mountain locations that I have not yet seen. In a matter of a couple of weeks IContinue reading “The best boat is Steamboat!”
Thunder Mountain
One thing that became very evident while I was on the road was weather. Yeah, weather happens! And when you’re living in a small space you become more vulnerable and aware to the elements outside. In this case I ended up waiting out 2 days of snow, sleet, and rain. I was feeling a bitContinue reading “Thunder Mountain”

Doing someContinue reading “North Kaibab National Forest and the Arizona Trail”
