My family tree can be traced through the Land Between the Lakes and the Shawnee National Forest regions of West Kentucky and Southern Illinois. I have been obsessed with traveling the Nation's National and State Parks my entire life.

Though it wasn't made by pueblo people, this awesome building makes for an awesome photo. In busy seasons though it is extremely crowded.

The Mongolian Rim of Arizona is a hidden gem of the state. The mountains jet out above the desert below and provide springs, pine forests, and tons of wildlife to see. Its a must explore if in Arizona for a period of time.

Make sure you have a permit and also make sure you have the vehicle that can make it over the 14 mile rocky road. The falls and grotto areas are worth both these hurdles.

Not as great of a reward hike as others in Sedona, but the views are still awesome.

This is a great place for a swim on a hot day or to photograph at sunset with the red rocks shooting out above the water of Oak Creek.

This is a good option for those who dont want the longer hike to Devil's bridge. It is scenic and worth a stop while in Sedona.

you can also reach this in a vehicle if it is 4wd and high clearence.

take a jeep on the broken arrow trail as it is one of the best off road experiences in the lower 48.

There are just as great off road trails in Sedona as other places like Moab or Telluride.

This is a great 4wd trail and hiking mixed in. There is also a "cave" nearby. The pools and devil's sinkhole are also along this trail. For Soldiers Pass you will need to get a permit from the Forest Service website.

No show cave lighting here. Be sure to have a quality head lamp with charged batteries. This was a great hike to beat the Arizona Heat.

This trail was awesome to me as I haven't yet been to many volcanoes in the PNW. The jagged blackened rock was like walking on another planet.

This area is REMOTE. Be sure you have enough water as there are very few sources to filter water in this area.

Make sure you take the trail down into the canyon to see the ruins.

Make sure to do this early in the day to avoid the heat, and also make sure to have enough water and proper footwear. The hike up is one of the toughest hikes I have ever done, but the vies of the sonoran desert and phoenix were awesome.

A lot of Iconic cabins in the smoky mountains reside within this loop. Also, several awesome trails are worthy of hiking within this trip.

Don’t get stuck in the dark. Get a reservation at the only lodge within the park at the summit of Mt LeConte

This side trip from LeConte Lodge is awesome in October when the leaves have changed.

Regardless of crowds, try to stop here, especially in the fall when the leaves are changing. Worth every click of the camera.

At least three worth waterfalls along this trail make it a great couple of hours spent within the park.

Orange Beach is an awesome strand west of Pensacola on the Florida Border. The beaches are often less crowded and more family friendly.

See the remains of a imploded portion of Mammoth Cave. It is a great forest hike down into the sinkhole left behind.

The views at the top are unreal. Sometimes the mud makes this semi impassable.

You will likely see nesting swans or missed within these ponds. We saw both every trip we made to Yellowstone.
