At 90 days and 12,270 miles across the US, this turned out to be the longest road trip we've ever embarked on. As summer now winds down and we prepare to (hopefully) resume roaming internationally, this post touches on our potential upcoming plans after recapping this summer odyssey across the US.
This blog goes on to discuss the challenges and limitations that helped shape our big US road trip while also revealing each our favorite places!
If you share similar travel interests as us, perhaps the spots we most enjoyed will provide you with some travel inspiration or ideas of places to roam within the US.
Having hiked 408 miles while visiting 43 NPS sites, we've awarded what we thought were the best hikes and best national parks. Yet be forewarned, it's a bit of a lengthy post.

Missed reading about your travels! Will be digging in today!
Just curious, is there a reason you skipped the Midwest? There are actually many things to do all over the Midwest. Wisconsin Dells, Lake of the Ozarks, Michigan Dunes, Arkansas, Kansas City, MO etc. just curious cuz it looks like you travelled around the perimeter of the US.
Maybe an RV is in your future..
Have you been posting? Haven’t seen anything for awhile.
What a wonderful and well written article of a fantastic road trip! Breweries and National Parts, what else is there? Oh yes, Historic Sites and Quaint Towns! Thank you for taking us along , like we were there with you....
You missed the Oregon Coast. Darn shame.
