A panoramic view of Maple Pass near North Cascades National Park

Hi, we’re Matt and Karen Smith. What started as a quest to visit every U.S. national park turned into years of unforgettable road trips, stories, and lessons from the trail. On this blog, we share what we’ve learned, from the best hikes and hidden gems to the small towns and lodges that make each trip memorable.
