An adventure through the states
The town of West Yellowstone Montana, is really neatly laid out little town and quite quaint. Its hard to imagine how packed it must be at peak times of the year. We felt lucky to have had the chance to stay here it’s like having a secret slice of the best pie ever before anyone …
Yesterday we arrived at Kalispell in Montana, we had originally planned to head to Glacier National Park, in the north, half owned by the US and half owned by Canada. One of the suggested routes was for us to pop into Canada, which was the shortest drive there surprisingly, even though it would have probably …
Waking up in Coeur D’Alene today was a great, it’s nice to have made it to yet another state. The activities we have planned for Idaho are lower down in the state, so we are only here for a short stop over. Coeur D’Alene is a very pretty town and is surrounded by the lake …
Today turned out not to go as planned, it was a long drive that wasn’t helped by the fact that the very activity we came to do to break up the day turned out to be shut. The weather in Washington state has been as we expected, rather overcast and a few showers. This was …
By the time we arrived back in Tacoma, Washington it was late evening. The time difference between Alaska and this side of the US is currently only and hour, so it’s not half as bad as when we got back from Hawaii, which is a good thing as we have a pretty busy day ahead. We are …
Flying out from SeaTac Airport in Tacoma, Washington gave yet another new flight experience for me! A night time flight! Although looking down into the darkness below was somewhat scary I appreciated the fantastic views of the lights of the city below. There were a couple of options that we desperately wanted to try in …
This morning started with an extremely sickly drive both up and down and around a lots of bends, despite the beautiful tree lined roads. After last night’s late arrival and some planning, we have booked our flights to Alaska, it was a difficult decision to decide exactly what we were going to do there. Due …
After an amazingly scenic day yesterday we were looking forward to seeing what else Oregon has to offer, which as it’s turns out is a lot 🙂 We had an exciting trip planned to a place called Cannon Beach. Cannon Beach is in the top north-west corner of Oregon, and after a three and a …
This has been one of my favourite days on this trip, not only were we lucky and pleasantly surprised, but we encountered views that simply do not have words to describe them! Lakes all around! Starting back at this morning, we headed out from Red Bluff, continuing the drive through Northern California. This part of …
Today’s journey led us from Jamestown on the east side of California towards the North. Hoping to reach Oregon in the next few days we settled in for the night after driving for 223 miles at a town called Red Bluff. The drive once again was spectacular, California has a certain pastel coloured beauty, which …
Feeling sad about our failed attempt at doing anything yesterday we headed on towards the golden gate park. Hoping that having a nice stroll in the fresh air might reaclimatise us to the new time zone, it’s been really tough to adjust back, even though it’s not that big of a difference. We think it …
Arriving in San Francisco last night was quite something, it was spectacular to see the city lit up and we werd looking forward to what we could see in the daytime. After a very measily few hours sleep we woke in quite a rush to check out on time. Now that we are back on …
