With such an amazing bucket list under my belt already, there are some amazing places still to visit. I also have one special place left to visit to truly complete my ultimate road trip bucket list, which is Hawaii. 

When I first started off as a road tripper, I though it would be fun to explore every state and province in North America. I have spent much effort even taking pictures with each state and province sign. The last place on my list is Hawaii, simply because it's not so easy to access via car. I will visit one day, but in the mean time, I'm excited to explore of North America.

Las Vegas Road Trip Ideas other than the famous strip

Image
I’ve been to Las Vegas several times, and each time we go, the city changes with new features and attractions. It’s an exciting place to be, but did you know there are some amazing attractions and national parks around the Las Vegas area (that won’t cost you an arm and a leg to visit), all within a short drive from the Las Vegas strip, and all worth checking out. Before we get into our list, one of the most amazing experiences for me when traveling to Las Vegas was actually driving there, rather than flying. Nothing can really compare to the experience of driving, not only down the Las Vegas strip itself, but also the roads leading into Las Vegas. Their visitor center offers some amazing desert & canyon views, and as our 1 st stop suggests, the Hoover Dam area led us to a stunning and unexpected view of Lake Mead.  Here is a list of top places you should definitely visit outside of Las Vegas: 1. Hoover Dam This is a really interesting area. The first time we drove through h...

Four Corners Monument: The only place in America where 4 states meet

Image
  This is a really interesting area of America. It’s the only place where you can find 4 states that meet. There are several states where you can find 3 states that meet, but this is the only place in America where you can find 4 states – those being Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Being from Canada, but also an avid road tripper, the first time I learned of this area, it was really fascinating, and we had to check it out. The drive up to 4 Corners Monument is spectacular, and worth a visit, but there isn’t a lot to do in this area once you get there, so it’s definitely an add on stop for an already existing road trip.   Getting to 4 Corners Monument While this area connects 4 states together, there are only 2 states that lead to this monument. You can access 4 Corners Monument from either Colorado vis Highway 160 heading SW, or from Arizona, along highway 160, heading North. Either way, there are some small towns along the drive, with long stretches of empty land....

Exploring the Grand Canyon during Winter

Image
The Grand Canyon National Park is an amazing road trip destination that remains high on many peoples bucket list. It’s a must-see destination at least once in your lifetime. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon looking down into the canyon itself is breathtaking. It’s like nothing I have ever seen before. However, this spectacular destination can get quite busy during the summer months, with busloads of tourists, large RVs and tons of traffic. This is a great reason to visit the Grand Canyon during the Winter months. Myself personally, I prefer to road trip during the Fall and Winter months. There is less traffic on the roads, and definitely less tourists at these popular destinations.    Fun fact: did you know the Grand Canyon gets snow during the Winter months? I always just assumed the Grand Canyon was part of the Arizona desert, and was hot most of the year, but that’s not the case. Our first trip to the Grand Canyon was in early March a few years back, and there wa...
