Falling for Yellowstone: Day 2 – The Geyser Basins

The Adventuring Heidi

October 1, 2022 Allllll the hot water! This would be the day for main geyser basins of Yellowstone... the greatest concentration of geysers and hydrothermal features in the world. My geyser geek self would shuttle Eric through the Upper, Black Sand, Midway, and Lower Geyser Basins before the exhausting day was done! We didn't even… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 2 – The Geyser Basins

The Adventuring Heidi

I needed one last big adventure for 2022, and some more time spent sleeping in a tent before the year was up. One thing I've been saying the last few years is I needed to visit Yellowstone National Park in the later fall season to see it with moody weather and a lack of people,… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 1 – Oxbow Bend, Colter Bay, West Thumb Geyser Basin, Riddle Lake & Lewis Lake

But time to turn the frown… Continue reading Seein’ the DC – Part 2: Arlington National Cemetery, US Capitol, National Mall, & Department of Interior Museum

The Adventuring Heidi

Washington, DC offers up almost a dizzying array of National Park Service (NPS) units that are quick to check off, so needless to say, when an opportunity to travel to DC for work came up, I knew I'd want to take a personal day to see as many as I could! With plans set in… Continue reading Seein’ the DC – Part 1: Lincoln, FDR, & MLK Memorials, Korean War Memorial, and Lincoln Memorial

A Quickie In Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area

The Adventuring Heidi

Travelers to Wyoming tend to know/do the "big three": the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Devils Tower. However, Wyoming does have a few additional National Park Service units that are worth exploring, and often with a fraction of the crowds! That's right, Wyoming is home to seven NPS units, not including the National Historic Trails that cross-criss… Continue reading A Quickie In Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area
