We’ve spent the past couple weeks coming down from our vacation high and getting back into reality, but in the meantime, here is the official route map. The total driving distance ended up at 3,624.4 miles, with an average speed of 50 miles per hour. We touched 9 states (we couldn’t resist spending one mile in Michigan just to say we did) and spent 11 nights in national parks. This is one for the record books. Stay tuned for more info, photos and stories from our adventure.

Happy National Trails day 2023!04.04.23 : Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads… In order to get to Mariscal Canyon, one of the most remote areas of the park, we had to drive 29 miles each way on “primitive dirt roads. Our big red truck opened up tons of new experiences in Big Bend.04.03.23 : Views from the top. We hiked the 10-mile round trip from Chisos Basin to the top of Emory Peak, the highest point in Big Bend.
