We found the picturesque Three Creek Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon above the town of Sisters. It is 76 acres and relatively shallow at 11â28 feet in depth. It sits at an elevation of 6550 feet located in a glacial cirque, formed by the Cabot Creek Glaciation about 13,000 years ago. Surrounding Three Creek Lake …

Once we entered Wyoming two main attractions pulled us in their direction; Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Since we were traveling in a Northward direction our first stop would be Grand Teton. We first stopped in at the Jenny Lake Visitor Center to check out the conditions and trail/area closures due to …
Once the two main reasons we were in Idaho (getting a new front bumper/winch and seeing the total solar eclipse) were finished we set our sights on Wyoming and the many stunning offerings within. Since we were planning on continuing up and into Canada we wanted to travel Wyoming from South to North so as …
Since owning the Tacoma we’ve been lucky enough to not have hit anything living or otherwise that could do damage to us or us to it. We’ve also never gotten ourselves into a situation where we needed a winch to rescue ourselves (or others) from sloppy misadventure but we still keep trying đ Past experiences …

On our arrival to the city of Moab we made a couple of quick stops to fill up on gas and some supplies and went to find a place to camp outside the city limits so as to steer clear of crowds and traffic…this is Moab after all. Our first attempt, called Camp Sunset, was suggested …
On our way to Valley of the Gods we passed through the little hamlet of Mexican Hat, Utah, population 31. After a quick stop for gas we continued on up Highway 163. A few miles out of town we came across a sign on the right side of the road mentioning the actual Mexican Hat …
Driving away from the Valley of the Gods we were heading up Hwy 163 through Bluff, Utah where it changed into Hwy 191 and continued North. Nine miles North of town we saw another of those always intriguing brown sign with white lettering pointing the way to Hovenweep National Monument. With what we thought sounded …
We were heading to Monument Valley as some of the pictures we have seen of it are simply stunning. When we arrived at the Navajo Nation office though the vibe just didn’t do it for us. Too many people. Too much pressure to buy “authentic Navajo art.” Pressure to hire a “guide” to take us …
