We approached the park from the West by way of the Red Canyon/Scenic Byway Route 12. It was there that we were first introduced to the extensive color palette (heavy on the reds) we would be enjoying for the next couple of days. Before we arrived at the actual Park entrance where we usually take …

If our working definition of Adventure is simply stated as “A journey, sometimes of a hazardous nature, where the outcome is not entirely within your own control” then, truth be told, a fair amount of our “adventures” do not really meet our hypothetical definition. Literal definition…sure. Heck, you have an adventure every time you drive …
Using Dennis Casebier’s book as our guide we started the day at the edge of the mighty Colorado River. After a few fits and starts as we figured out the difference between what the book says we should be seeing and what we actually see we finally found the right turn off Needles Highway and …
We had decided to take a much-needed break after our long first day along the Mojave Road. At the end of our first day we had found ourselves at Camp Phallus and as it was at a noticeably cooler altitude decided that would be a good spot. I planned on catching up on some reading …
Once we decided to head out from Camp Phallus we made it a point to get up and pack up before the insect assault began anew. We awoke at sunrise and were completely packed up and ready to head back out on the road by 7:30am. We made it down out of the New York …

About 100 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico sits the El Malpais National Monument which takes its name from the Spanish word Malpaís, meaning badlands. With a name like that full of danger and foreboding is it any wonder that Willow and I decided to give it the once over. If you were wondering about …
On our first full-day in the El Malpais National Monument, we decided to take it easy and relax but wanted to first take the quick six and a half mile drive and check out the La Ventana Arch. La Ventana (“the window”) is the second largest natural stone arch in New Mexico and the most …
We spent our first full day in the El Malpais National Monument as a rest, relax and rejuvenate day. We had limited out caloric expenditure to taking a short drive to visit the La Ventana Arch and its short, easy hike and then lounged around the campground catching up on reading and writing for the …
