We've been on the road for a month. It can be trying at times, especially with the weather we've had here in Alaska. We've had just a few sunny days, which means plenty of time tucked away in our 120 sq-ft home. Some might think this iswould be the biggest downside of life on the road, the lack of space, but even our dog Brody has adjusted, weaving between us naturally and avoiding the swing of a cabinet on his way up to his big boy bed. Although it's not so bad, let's just hope the weather gets better soon. #alaska #alaskalife #roadstories #waterfall #forest🌲
Although the weather didn't cooperate to show us the mountain, we got lucky on the wildlife front and saw all of the big 5 in Denali. Grizzly, Moose, Caribou, Dahl Sheep, and a Wolf. This bear was only around 15 meters away, just minding her business devouring berries. What a lucky day, even the bus driver was pumped. #bigfivedenali #denalinationalpark #denalinps #alaska
Reduce, reuse, recycle. I've made an effort on this trip to ditch single use containers. I'm not perfect, but I've been carrying my coffee thermose and water bottle around to skip the disposable containers. I've found over the years that camping and road trips are usually really hard to not generate waste. So far we've been able to find recycling in most places but have sometimes had to lug it around till we find a place. I thought coming into Anchorage that the bins would be everywhere and was disappointed to find they weren't. However, my spirits were lifted when at the recycling center we came across a bunch of people separating their recycleables into the various bins. There were even some children helping out. #recycle #savetheplanet🌍 #reducereuserecycle #alaska #environment
My morning routine consists of scouring the nearby lands in search of natural hot springs for which to swim with my new bride. I like a quick dip, so I can light my tobacco pipe and read my thick leather bound books whilst my love dives in search of treasure. #hotsprings #canada🇨🇦 #canadianhotsprings #naturalhotsprings
For me, this is it! Mountains have always made me feel alive and at peace, and my beautiful wife helps me to feel the possibilities of life and see beauty around us. #canadianrockies #canada🇨🇦 #glacialwater #glacialblue #banffnationalpark #albertacanada
I had mixed emotions this time through Banff. I've been struggling with the impact we have on our beautiful places It's been eight years since I first visited this amazing place and in that short time I feel like it has exploded with tour buses and traffic. I know I am part of the group visiting, and I know it's hypocritical to complain, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that the cause is platforms like this one. All you seem to see anymore is people going to the popular places to get their shot and move on to the next bucket list item. I was so relieved to find this place, I was all alone at the viewpoint. I am going to try and limit posting exact locations of places, but if you are interested in knowing you can DM me and maybe we can keep some places quiet. #keepitwild #canadianrockies #albertacanada #banffnationalpark #exploremore
Not that we we're counting, but in YOLOstone we saw 7 bears, 2 wolves, 5 elk, 12 pronghorn, and 2,364 bison. #yellowstonenationalpark #wildlifephotography #nationalparks #blackbear #bison
We are now ten days back on the road and we are starting to hit our stride again. We learned so much living on the road last year, about what we need and more importantly what we don't. We are fast and free and that's just how we like it. Next stop, Canada! #montana #glaciermontana #glaciernationalpark #glaciernps #siyehpass
The morning began in the fog. Fog that flooded all the airspace amongst the dense trees. We were gifted with miles of an eerie beauty that brought us to the edge of our comfort zones as it was bear country after all. We took to this particular trail after our neighboring campers recommended it for the views. For much of the hike though our view was limited to just a stones throw away. In the end it turned out to be one of our favorite hikes, with the fog and the stillness lending to the general feeling that nature brings you to life and keeps you on your toes. #glaciermontana #siyehpass #glaciernationalpark #glaciernps #montana #godscountry
