Among My Souvenirs

Ice-capped mountains. Sweeping valleys. Aquamarine lakes spilling into gushing waterfalls. Welcome to Glacier National Park, one of the USA’s first – and best – stunning National Parks, and a playground for both outdoor enthusiasts … and bears. And moose. Glacier National Park features some of the most beautiful natural landscapes that you’ll find anywhere in the country. If it’s not on your bucket list already, haul it out right now and add it! We designed the perfect 2-day Glacier National Park itinerary for folks with limited time to explore the park. Sure, a longer trip will let you see, do, and hike a lot more – but let’s be real, we don’t all have unlimited vacation time, and a short getaway to Glacier National Park is one of the best ways to spend your weekend! If you do have more time to spare, this park itinerary was originally created as part of our 10-day Montana Road Trip, which includes many other fabulous ...

I think just about every American teenager (and probably plenty from abroad, as well) has dreamt about driving across the country in an epic Great American Road Trip .

I've said it before but I'll say it again: there's no better way to see the United States than by taking to the road. Road tripping is the ultimate way to explore America, and there's no shortage of options whether you want to travel for 10 days or 10 months. Certain US road trip routes are more popular than others, though; we've all heard of Route 66 and California's Highway 1.

Grand Tetons Which is why my sister and I decided to tackle a slightly less-popular road trip route last summer: we decided we wanted to focus on the northern states that never seem to get enough love. States like Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and So...
