Articles & blog posts from the Grand Canyon State.

Oregon

The Oregon Coast, the Cascades, the high desert in the east…Portland and all of the progressive small towns. What’s not to love about the Beaver State?

Texas

The Lone Star State is home to some of the biggest cities in the United States, and at times it feels like Austin is certainly the fastest growing, but we’ve fallen in love with the state’s small towns. They tend to have retained their original Main Street charm, and while we’ve dealt with our share

Pennsylvania

Rolling hills covered in farmland and forested mountains comprise most of the Keystone State. When mining and manufacturing hit, most of Pennsylvania’s small towns dwindled away to nothing, but places like Erie, Pittsburgh and Ohiopyle are still interesting, thriving destinations. Lititz, historic Gettysburg and Philadelphia, on the other side of the state, will immerse you

North Carolina

Western North Carolina, in particular, is some of the best country East of the Mississippi has to offer. From hip Asheville to the Great Smoky Mountains, and a plethora of national forest and small towns in between (not to mention the Blue Ridge Parkway), the state is a nature lover’s paradise.

California

The Golden State is the stuff of dreams, from fodder for Led Zeppelin tunes to young people dreaming of becoming stars, either in Hollywood or Silicon Valley. We’re in love with California for its vast natural landscapes. The Redwoods poking through coastal fog, Sequoias brilliant against Yosemite, Mount Whitney in the Eastern Sierras, the deserts

Utah

“I love Utah,” we continually say, over and again, to one another as our–back then–young love absorbs deep into the seats, leather bracelets and weathered skin that is our life living out of a Volkswagen Bus while traversing the Beehive State’s offerings. Where many states have epic national parks, Utah has five in a row,

Washington

Towering evergreens pilfer light just away enough to cast shade on every patch of puffy green moss. And puffy green moss impedes everywhere. The western half of the state is coated in nature, from the moment you wake up staring skyward to the moments you turn your head to the floor, and each inch between,

Florida

The Sunshine State. A place like no other in the United States, sub-tropical climes and margaritas at 10am. At once a solace for the retired and a canvas for the young and beautiful to show their darker shades of tan, Florida has long been our nation’s escape. But while history and traffic jams can be

Colorado

If I could stick a fork in one state, I have found the juiciest and most tender sustenance to be had in the state of Colorado. While no doubt the popularity of Boulder and the “Mile High” sanctitude of Denver come to mind, and even as thoughts of legalized marijuana permeate your concepts, know that

National Forests

Exploring the many national forests this nation has to offer.

South Carolina

With ample southern charm, antebellum history and plenty of oceanfront real estate to sift between your toes, South Carolina bridges the gap between two of our favorite states, yet manages to do so without feeling like a fly over itself. We take particular favor to the Palmetto State’s coastal communities, oozing with charm and sunrises

Georgia

From the Blue Ridge Mountains full of rolling forests to a coastline speckled with islands, Georgia is a state of beauty no doubt. Savannah’s charm. Atlanta’s sprawl. The cities of the state are diverse and dispersed, with plenty of small town charm to visit on the drive between, with absolutely no shortage of places to
