Bryce Canyon is beautiful. We parked in the all-day parking, took the bike/ walking path & road bikes to the trails and look-outs, so we didn't have to fight parking. They have bike racks at all of the viewpoints & stops. We locked our bikes and didn't have any problems. The hikes are really fun. We did Navajo loop. It was so magical. We took a backpack, lots of water, sunscreen, sunglasses and a lunch that we enjoyed down at the bottom in the shade. Go to the bathroom before you go down, cuz there are no toilet facilities @ the bottom. Visit the visitor center before you start to get a map and ideas of where you want to go talk to the rangers. They're very helpful.

🌄 Breathtaking Beauty at Logan Pass! 🌄 Logan Pass is truly the crown jewel of the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park! The drive itself is spectacular, but reaching Logan Pass feels like arriving in a whole different world. Towering peaks, lush alpine meadows, and sweeping vistas in every direction — it’s picture-perfect at every turn. The Hidden Lake Overlook trail is a must-do if you visit. It’s a relatively short hike with incredible rewards: wildflowers, mountain goats, and panoramic views that make you stop and just take it all in. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so get there early or take the shuttle — it’s absolutely worth it. Whether you’re here for a scenic drive, wildlife spotting, or hiking, Logan Pass delivers a truly unforgettable experience. Don’t miss it!

Beautiful! We loved taking out a motorboat on this lake! Another time we did kayak/SUP. And we also liked to come eat some huckleberry ice cream and sit out on the benches to watch the sunset over the lake

A great museum for adults, I think it wouldn't be as fun for kids. This is a beautiful building in a gorgeous location! We paid and went right in to the theater. The video was not too long and very informative. The main part of the museum is downstairs and it was easy to follow the path from room to room. There are some really great artifacts and pictures. My favorites were the earth house and log boat. There was a lot of reading but if you're interested in the topic it was all very interesting and worthwhile. I would love to come back in summer and do some of the paths in the area. There is a gift shop but I can't say it has a lot of ready stuff, pretty basic. Overall a great experience and worth the visit.

Such an amazing boat ride! The tour guide was great, had so many fun facts and was super entertaining with his stories as well! Highly recommend

We visited the Cathedral of Santa Helena, opened in 1908, and modeled after the Votivkirche, Vienna, which we visited a few years ago! They have similarities but many differences. The hours are very accessible every day but Sunday, where they close in the early afternoon. This is a beautiful, welcoming space, and choir music played throughout our visit. It is inspiring to just sit and gaze at the stained glass artwork, in addition to the marble and wood architecture. We loved it.

After years of wanting to see this, we finally did. The museum is great for families to visit with various interactive exhibits for kids. I would say 90% of the museum pertains to dinosaur and other fossils but also has information and artifacts from the area in general. There is a homesteaders house you get to go through as part of the admission.

Our entire group had one of the best times here at Montana Whitewater! We had the 2 best instructors, Chance and Autumn. They made the trip even more enjoyable and we had such a good time. They were very knowledgeable and super friendly. Would definitely recommend Montana Whitewater to anyone looking to zip line. We will be back to do the bigger zip line soon! Thank you Chance and Autumn, hopefully we can request you both next time.

Beautiful views. I highly recommend taking the lifts for the views. We went with young children as little as 3 years old and felt completely safe. I wish we could have explored more or did some hiking. Maybe when the kids get a bit older.

We recently visited the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center with our three grandkids (ages 12, 13, and 6), and it was a fantastic experience for all of us! The exhibits are incredibly well done, and we loved how educational and engaging everything was. The kids were fascinated watching the bears forage and play, and seeing the wolves up close was such a rare and memorable treat. One of the highlights for all of us was watching the otters swim and play—so full of energy and personality! We could’ve stood there for hours just enjoying their antics. We appreciated that the animals here are all rescues and that the Center focuses on conservation and education—it made the visit feel meaningful as well as fun. The whole place is thoughtfully designed, clean, and easy to navigate. We also enjoyed the birds of prey exhibit and hearing the call of the bald eagle—what a powerful moment! This is a must-stop if you’re anywhere near West Yellowstone. We all left with smiles on our faces and new things to talk about. Highly recommend for families with kids of any age!

Super Nice tour at Noris Geyser, the museum just before is nice for the explanation, the trail a easy to walk and every Geyser or pool will give you another beautiful picture. Just be aware that might be a bit crowded

Very Clean park and very nice area. The person on duty during the day was grreat and help us find everything and how to get to town without driving. Bathrooms were great and clean. A must stop if going this way!

Grand Prismatic Spring totally lives up to the hype…massive, colorful, and surrounded by the coolest microbe mats that make you feel like you're walking through a geothermal painting. The boardwalk is great for a close-up look, but the real adventure started when we hit the Fairy Falls trail. The board walk does not have a guardrail, so watch out for rowdy youths and bouncy adults for that matter.

Rising dramatically above Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Grand Tetons are one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in North America. With their jagged peaks, alpine lakes, and glacier-carved valleys, they form the heart of Grand Teton National Park, offering unparalleled opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, photography, and mountaineering. The iconic Grand Teton (13,775 ft) dominates the skyline, alongside other towering summits that create a striking contrast against the open plains.

Family loved the experience. Ride was much smoother than expected. Wait times was only about 20 minutes on a holiday weekend. At the top they have a little shop that serves all kinds of drinks and waffles which looked incredible. The views on top were great in all directions and you could stay as long as you want. Expect a 10-15 deg temperature difference from top to bottom as it is approximately 4300' elevation change. Great family experience that we would gladly do again.

The Town square is beautiful with all of its shops, restaurants and boutiques. They're really good restaurants to eat while you're downtown on the square. In the winter there is ice skating and Christmas caroling in the famous antler arches are all lit up. There are so many places to go. You should plan on being here for a few days to take it all in! No matter how warm or how cold the Town square is always bustling with people and it's a wonderful thing! It's even more magical in the winter!

Lava Hot Springs Foundation – A Sacred Balance Between Healing, Fun, and Flow Lava Hot Springs isn’t just a place — it’s an energy. And the Lava Hot Springs Foundation? They’ve done a phenomenal job of protecting, preserving, and sharing that energy with the world in a way that feels both rooted and progressive. From the moment you step into the mineral-rich pools — naturally odorless and constantly refreshed by the earth itself — you can feel the shift. It’s like the land remembers how to heal you before you even ask. The Foundation operates with no taxpayer funding — it’s entirely sustained by those who choose to soak, swim, or splash. That matters. It shows a commitment to balance: ecological, economic, and communal. You get the sense they’re not just running a business; they’re tending a fire. They’ve created something that honors the natural gifts of the land without over-commercializing them — and that’s rare these days. The facilities are incredibly well-maintained. You’ve got the classic hot pools (always clean and not too crowded if you go at the right times), but also a full-blown aquatic complex with waterslides, an Olympic pool, kiddie sections, and green park areas that invite families, elders, and solo travelers alike. It’s one of those places where everyone can find their rhythm — whether you’re there to soak in silence or cannonball into laughter. And the upgrades? Thoughtful. Strategic. They’re not just building for tourism; they’re building for legacy. Long-term projects like improved parking, enhanced accessibility, and even discussions about geothermal sustainability show that this isn’t a quick-turn operation. It’s a generational offering — for Idaho and for anyone seeking deeper connection with water, heat, and land. I respect how transparent they are too. Board meetings are open. Plans are published. It’s not hidden behind some bureaucracy. That kind of openness builds trust — and it’s exactly the kind of foundation that deserves ongoing community support. If you’ve never been, go. And if you’ve been before, go again — but this time, slow down. Let the waters speak. Let the steam remind you that healing isn’t always dramatic — sometimes it’s as simple as soaking, breathing, and remembering who you are.

Antelope Island is one of my favorite places to go in Utah. It is peaceful, quiet, and fun to explore. The beach areas are full of interesting rock formations. The natural beauty of Antelope Island is stunning, especially at sunset.

Always enjoyable. They are often adding new rides and Changing things for the better We go at least once a year. They have a nice variety. From really extreme rides for adults and teens to easy yet very fun rides for even tiny toddlers and everything in between. They've got something for every age and size!

Absolutely amazing downhill trails! The difficulty ratings are accurate and the trails are maintained very well! There are mild to hard trails, the staff were all very friendly and helpful! Amazing views in all directions. Deer Valley is an amazing place to mountain bike and spend time with friends and family.

Out of the way but what an amazing stop. It was 80 degrees and felt like 68 with the breeze. Nice new visitors center, and incredible views. We didn’t have time to do any hikes this time, but have done them in the past and they provide more awesome views of the canyon and you pass some ancient trees. Worth the stop and worth going out of the way to visit. Our national park pass was good to get us in, so no extra charge!

I liked this park a lot. I feel like it’s a bit underrated compared to others in the area. We went on a weekend in late April and there weren’t too many crowds. There is no service so download your offline maps to stay prepared :) bring lots of water as the hikes do not have much shade

During our trip to Zion National Park we planned a day to explore the Kolob Canyon area. It was much less busy than the other side of the park which allowed for full access to the areas and less busy hikes. We went in February and with all the snow, we would recommend spikes or snow-specific shoes. Prior to our hikes we went to the visitors center and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Probably the coolest hike I've ever done! The epic views, sloshing through the water. The canyon walls get closer together the farther you go. There's a 20 foot section where you go waist deep in water so you have to lift up your backpack if you don't want it to get soaked. Most of the time the water is about up to your knees or less. You occasionally hike on land but make no mistake you will be walking through water most of the time. I did see rock jumpers about halfway into the hike jumping off into the river on a deep spot they found. The farther you go the less people you'll see going that deep in. Once you get past a certain point about 3 mile's in it's absolutely magical. We went in July in the summer. Make sure you arrive super early so you have time to make it back before the last shuttle leaves. Bring water & snacks and take lots of epic pictures because not everybody gets to experience this beautiful creation!

Wall Street is hands down one of the most breathtaking parts of Bryce Canyon. As you descend through the famous switchbacks, you’re surrounded by towering orange hoodoos that make you feel like you’re walking through a natural skyscraper canyon. The experience is surreal—steep walls, tight spaces, and ever-changing light that adds a dramatic touch to every step. The hike is part of the Navajo Loop, which I highly recommend doing clockwise if you want to descend via Wall Street (it’s much easier going down than up!). It’s a bit steep but manageable, and totally worth the effort. The combination of narrow passages and tall formations is unlike anything else in the park. Go early for fewer crowds and stunning morning light filtering through the canyon. The contrast between the blue sky and red-orange rock is a photographer’s dream. Don’t forget to stop and admire the massive Douglas firs growing right out of the canyon floor. It’s a short hike with a big impact—an absolute must-see if you’re in Bryce.

Billed as the most dangerous hike in USA , this is Zion’s iconic hike and also the most difficult to obtain a permit to access. It’s early Oct 2025 during the US Federal Govt shutdown and YES- NPS Rangers are still checking permits and don’t forget to bring photo ids as some who did. not bring ids had a difficult time with the rangers! The 8.7km hike is strenuous and requires climbing of 460m. The last km iwhich requires a permit checked at the entry point at Scouts Landing involves climbing narrow ridges while holding onto a chain. Please be patient and let oncoming traffic through! The views during the hike are spectacular. The bonus for the trip was the opportunity to see two California Condors soaring overhead. This is the largest bird in USA and was almost extinct with only 20 in the 1980s! They are now on the critically endangered having recovered to around 600 today. Bring water as it can be quite hot and enjoy the walk.

One of the most inspiring places we’ve ever visited. We booked the 1.5-hour guided tour and had an amazing experience. The tour took us through this vast, beautifully maintained sanctuary, including stops at the pig area and the cat house. We even got to pet some of the animals, which was a real highlight. I’ve never seen a more impressive or well-organized animal welfare organization—the space is huge, and it’s clear the animals are incredibly well cared for. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making the tour both educational and heartwarming. Whether you love animals or just want to support a truly meaningful cause, this place is a must-visit.
