On our way to the Grand Canyon, we had to stop at Bears Ears National Monument, one of the newest in the country. It’s full of trails, amazing rock formations, and archeological treasures. So what’s not to like?
Sugarite Canyon State Park was a convenient stopover with water and hot showers to boot, a real treat for us.
On our way west to New Mexico, we decided to spend a few days at the Optima National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) last week. It’s located smack-dabbed in the Oklahoma Panhandle along Highway 412.
This year, we opted to explore Alabama and some of the national forests there. We also decided to wind our way through Selma, site of some of the most famous marches of the Civil Rights era.
