I know I’ve showed you a lot of our Northwest road trip in the last couple of weeks, and yet there was still material left to go through. I promise, this is the last post but it’s close to my heart, because it tells all the great stories a road trip should consist: The planned and spontaneous stops along the road! Wherever and whenever you’re driving for many hours, it’s always important to keep your eyes open for the wild,…
Oh gosh, where should I start? The breathtaking mountain views? The crystal clear alpine lakes? The abundant wildlife? I don’t know. All I know is that this place left a huge mark in my heart and memories. Glacier National Park in Northwestern Montana is also called the Alps of America, but it’s much more than that! Although the park doesn’t involve the highest peaks of the Rockies, I got a good sense how big this mountain range actually is (much bigger…
It was 1872 when one of mankind’s best ideas came to life: The US congress and President Ulysses S. Grant established the world’s first National Park “for the benefit and enjoyment of the people” A bunch of smart scientists recognized the potential of Yellowstone’s landscape, wildlife and geothermal features which are unique on our planet and therefore worth protecting. To me whatsoever, I never had Yellowstone on my radar.When my fiance and I looked for a trip in mid-August, we…

So let me tell you something about the route: We flew from NYC via Denver to Billings, Montana. We picked up our rental car and aimed for some of America’s finest National Parks like Yellowstone and Glacier and every surprise in-between, until we reached…
Guys, I hope you’re not tired of waterfalls yet! There’s more to come but it’ll be the last one for now – promised 😉 Our last stop of our upstate road trip took us back to the Finger Lakes region, not far from our first spot Ithaca. This time, however, we stayed closer to the lake and further from any big towns. It was the perfect place to relax after visiting comparably busy Niagara Falls.…
We continued our road trip from Ithaca towards west and crossed the bridge with the friendly name Rainbow Bridge where I set foot on Canadian ground for the very first time. Niagara Falls – there’s not much to tell you – I mean EVERYONE has at least heard about them, and being one of the top tourist attractions in the world (among the Top 10) a lot of people have seen them too. That being said, Niagara Falls still hasn’t lost…
