Utah Backcountry Discovery Route

The summer of 2021, my wife and I planned another multi-month camping trip to Utah, Wyoming and Montana. I thought the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route would be the best way to start the trip. It was a beautiful trip and not all that technical. One piece of advice is to get a Utah fishing license so you can wet a line and throw a fly in search of a native Cutthroat.

I wrote an article about the trip and the editor of Toyota Trails was kind enough to publish it in the2023 March/April Toyota Trails   “Roughing it in Style Traveling the Utah Back Country Discovery Route”

Overlander of the month Mrs. Badlandsexpeditions

In August 2021 ,Overlander.com selected my wife Lisa as their Overlander of the month. We recently returned from a 62 day almost 8,000 mile trip traversing the Utah backcountry Discovery Route and then to Wyoming and the backcountry of Montana. We traveled through Idaho, Utah and stopped at the Chaco Cultural National Historical Park New Mexico on the way home. Each trip just whets the appetite for the next adventure.

Arctic Adventures in a Vintage Land Cruiser

During the summer of 2018, my wife and I embarked on an Alaska trip. We thought we’d be gone about four weeks.  92 days, two trips to the Arctic Ocean  and 13,000 miles later we made it home in late August.

While on the trip, I was contacted,  via Instagram , by the editor of TCT magazine and asked if I would  write an article about the trip.   Below are the links to the articles.

I hope you enjoy them and welcome your comments.
