Crossing the Sahara

Mystery in your photos Having little strange things in your photos is nice little touch, I think. For example, in this photo below, there is that one guy just walking off into the distance… it raises more questions than answers.

North American National Park #22: Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Technically speaking, Bryce Canyon isn’t a canyon. It’s an amphitheater. That being said, whatever you call it, Bryce Canyon is incredible. It isn’t the biggest national park, but the Bryce Canyon Amphitheater is an incredible thing to experience. If you visit Bryce Canyon, I’d recommend waking up to watch sunrise over the amphitheater. Afterwards, you [...]

Earn Miles for Requesting Insurance Quotes

Back in the day (aka three years ago) when I was starting out in the points/miles hobby, I would do a lot of menial little tasks for miles. This included doing 15,000 searches per month for 5,000 Hawaiian miles (don’t judge me), completing surveys, and other activities that yielded very few miles but took a […]

As a bonus, it would be nice if the hike stimulated them to want to learn more about the place. America's national parks abound in good kids' hikes--both traditional and non-traditional.
