Even though both of us have been to Denver many times, it was still great to catch up with some friends and see some places we haven’t been to yet, especially before a huge cold front was to arrive! Days 96 – 99 November 6 – November 9, 2014 Miles 11160 – 11454 In Denver we…
Our first destination in Colorado was Ouray, which was recommended to us by a friend in Denver who we would be seeing later in the week. Ouray bills itself as ‘The Switzerland of America‘. What we found in Ouray is a quaint mountain town. The buildings on main street retain a lot of historic charm…
San Digeo was our last stop on the West Coast which made it a little bittersweet. Luckily we had a great time with friends who went out of their way to show us the city. Days 76 – 79 October 17 – October 20, 2014 Miles 8597 – 8709 We arrived in San Diego Friday…
Los Angeles was the city to date that we’ve spent the most time in. Our hosts were amazing, but when you are in a city as big as LA its hard to see and do everything. Day 69 – 73 October 10 – October 14, 2014 Miles 8256 – 8286 After a long…
For us Santa Barbara was all about strolling State Street and eating. We spent some time on the beach too. Days 67 – 68 October 8 – October 9, 2014 Miles 7065 – 8135 Our destination for the night was Santa Barbara. We started out driving down State Street and really liked the area with all…

Sonoma was a rare chance for us to enjoy some time of luxury; wine tasting, enjoying the sun, and dancing the night a way at a wedding. A nice change of pace from the hiking and camping we had been doing elsewhere. Days 62 – 65 October 3 – October 6, 2014 Miles 7298…
With Jon on the east coast, I had a weekend to myself to explore. I invited a few friends to meet me, but they were unable to so I decided to check out the Monterey Bay area as one of them suggested. Days 55 – 57 September 26 – September 28, 2014 Miles 6690 –…
San Francisco is one of Jon’s favorite cities, so we allowed ourselves more time here; from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Cable Car Museum and renting bikes, we really explored the city. Days 48 – 54 September 19 – September 25, 2014 Miles 6425 – 6559 We arrived in San Francisco late in the day and checked…
Portland was a great stop for good food and a good break between national parks on our way down the west coast. Days 42 – 44 September 13 – September 15, 2014 Miles 5397 – 5596 Next on the map was Portland and we decided to spend 2 nights there. As usual we showed up…
