Hiking alone can be an exhilarating, terrifying, life-altering, and excruciating experience.

This tradition continued as my sisters and I became parents, just expanding the number of tent bedrooms needed.

A road trip is such a fun way to see the landscape of an area while you drive to a destination. You could be heading to a spot you’ve visited many times before, or somewhere brand new. The romance of a road trip is bolstered in America because of the incredible geography we are privileged to call home.
On the other hand, *planning* a road trip can be viewed as an exciting introduction to the journey, or a special kind of hell, depending on who you ask. I personally view it closer
