Hiking through the mist at Chain Lakes Loop on Mt. Baker. We would have had better views without the foggy weather, but this was still a gorgeous forest hike on a cloudy/rainy day. Have you visited Mt. Baker? If not, it's worth the long drive to get out to Artist Point.

Spending the summer in New England? Don't miss a stop on Cape Cod - if you haven't already, you may want to consider adding it to your travel destinations before the summer is over and get some of that famous clam chowder.

"The Big Cave" at Palo Duro Canyon State Park in the panhandle of Texas... we almost skipped this stop, and I'm so glad we didn't. This canyon is supposedly the second largest in the nation, after the Grand Canyon. It had a resemblance to the Grand Canyon without all the tourism.

Always chasing the view... our last trip consisted of repelling off cliffs in Tennessee, because it was finally a sunny and cool day after a bunch of rain. Nice view of the mountains outside of Chattanooga.

Inspired by watching so many Shameless reruns, I created a few maps of Chicago, one of which is showing the Chicago Y transposed over the map. This symbol of Chicago represents the two branches of the Chicago River. This symbol can be seen in some of the architecture in the city. Be on the lookout next time you take a trip to the windy city.

Custom drawn and designed nautical mermaid decorative map of Norfolk, VA! Mermaids have been a part of Norfolk for over 20 years now... with over 80 mermaids located around the city. Our favorite is the tiger mermaid at the Virginia Zoo!

Views from last year in September on Rattlesnake Mountain in NH. Missing the New England weather, fall leaves, and apples this year.

Spoil yourself or your traveling friends with a set of coasters to remind them of their best trips. These show a map of Chattanooga, TN - an outdoor paradise for climbing, rafting, and hiking. We can't wait to go back! They can be customized to any other city.

Views from my favorite national park, on one of my favorite trails there ... the trail. This loop was fun and not too long, even on a summer day. Although, watch out for weather! We did get caught in a small storm when we hiked this 4 mile loop. Can't wait to go back to Utah next year.

This is my favorite city in Florida! If you haven't been to visit St. Augustine, you should add that to your travel schedule for the upcoming fall and winter season. There is a guide posted on our website if you need some ideas of things to do in the St. Augustine area. This minimalist St. Augustine city streets map is available in several different colors - swipe to see.

View from the Dream & Emerald Lake Trail at Rocky Mountain National Park. Our first time going this summer, and the views did not disappoint.
