About our Trip

We are two long-time friends who have decided to take some time now in our lives to do a little exploring. We've purchased a van, converted it into our mobile home, and now we're heading out west.

After a bit of a blogging hiatus....

Hello everyone! I know you are all anxious to hear an update on the trip. I am Megan, Drew's sister, and I was able to join Drew and Mike along with my other brother, Alex, last month in Utah and Nevada. We had an amazing time and I thought I would share our experiences and pictures.

Alex arrived in Salt Lake City in early May, a few days after finishing his finals. Over the following two and a half weeks they traveled to Moab, Canyonlands National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and rafted down the Colorado River for a few days.

I met up with the boys in Las Vegas, NV. I arrived in the middle of the night and we drove out of the city in search of a place to sleep. We finally spotted a great gravel parking lots and set up camp. In the morning I awoke to beautiful views of colorful rock formations. Finding camp in the dark and waking up to discover the beautiful scenery seemed to become a usual occurrence!

On our first day, we set out on a hike through Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, which is just 15 miles outside of Las Vegas. It was a beautiful hike up the vivid red rocks. Along the way, we did some bouldering and we were rewarded with amazing views of Las Vegas at the end!








Stay tuned: THERE'S MORE TO COME......
