Discover the majesty of the rugged Rockies ⛰️ with a weeklong exploration of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, comprised of Glacier National Park and her sister park, Canada’s Waterton Lakes! This 6-night, 7-day completely personalized package itinerary will see you and your family hike to pristine alpine lakes, swim in glacial-fed waters 🏊‍♂️ and drive some of the continent’s most spectacular roadways as you make your way through these two unforgettable environments.

🏔️ Glacier National Park:
Pick up your van at our hub in Whitefish and head for West Glacier, where spectacular scenery awaits! Spend a peaceful first evening camped on the shores of Lake McDonald and then continue into the heart of the park on Glacier’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, famous for its magnificent engineering and sweeping views of the valley below. The next two days are packed with hiking, swimming and boating options in some of the country’s most pristine protected areas.

🏔️ Many Glacier:
Spent two nights in the stunning Many Glacier regions, located north of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, on the east side of the park. Sometimes called the “Switzerland of North America,” Many Glacier contains many of the park’s most popular trails. Enjoy two days of hiking, swimming, rafting and more, before heading even further North to Canada.

🏔️ Waterton National Park:
Cross the border into Canada and see just what our neighbors to the North have to offer for your last two nights on this itinerary! Explore the waterfalls, trails and alpine lakes of this International Peace Park by day and camp in Waterton Townsite at night, a quick walk to the lakeside town’s charming restaurants and shops.

Take a luxury Mercedes Campervan on a romantic getaway through Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Trust us to show you the favorites of each park while also bringing you to the lesser-known and better-kept secrets, allowing you to truly escape into the serenity of the wild west.

Yellowstone Lower Loop:
After picking up your van in Jackson, you will wind your way up past the Tetons and up into Yellowstone National Park. You will spend three nights in Yellowstone, the first national park in the world, amid its awe-inspiring ecosystem, wildlife, and incredible hydrothermal features. Visit the Upper Geyser Basin, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Lake Yellowstone, and West Thumb Geyser Basin on the Yellowstone Lower Loop. Enjoy days full of hiking, wildlife spotting, gushing geysers, and incredible canyon vistas.

Grand Tetons:
Spend the next two nights in the stunning Grand Tetons. Though Yellowstone may have been the first national park, the Tetons are every local’s favorite. Canoe or Kayak on the incredible Jackson Lake, hike up Cascade Canyon between Teewinot and Mount Saint John, ferry across Jenny Lake’s pristine glacially-fed waters, spot wildlife along Moose-Wilson Road, and take a polar plunge into Phelps Lake from the Jumping Rock.

Remote Hot Springs:
For your final night in the van you will leave the hustle and bustle of the National Parks and head south of Jackson to a dispersed/remote camping location. Enjoy your last night camping along a peaceful Creek and awe-inspiring views of the Gros Ventre Mountains. Then top it all off with a trip to the hot spring just up the road for an after-dinner soak. Count the stars as you take in the serenity of the West!

We're now accepting bookings for 20223! Please visit the link in our bio to take a closer look at this pre-planned itinerary.

Located just three hours north of our Portland Maine Hub, Acadia boasts over 100 miles of well maintained hiking trails, all of which welcome (leashed) four legged friends 🐕 The park is also home to some 50 miles of scenic Carriage Roads; these manicured, gravel paths are closed to motorized vehicles, allowing dog owners to stroll without the stressors of conventional traffic 🎄

Every few years, above-average rainfall in California will trigger a natural phenomenon known as a ‘super bloom.’ This particular phenomenon can’t be described as anything less than an explosion of color from hundreds of thousands of wildflowers blooming simultaneously. Most recently, a super bloom occurred in 2019, drawing visitors from all over the globe! 🌻 Ever pictured yourself waking up surrounded by an infinite field of flowers? Well, now is your chance!

Check out the blog post linked in our bio for our top suggestions on where to experience this incredible natural beauty!

Happy Friday! Did you know that Diesel fuel is also more energy-dense than gasoline? Most renters find they can go over 400 miles on a single fill. With that kind of mileage, we’re always ready for the road less traveled.  -  -  -  #moterra #gomoterra #happieroutdoors #vanlife #campervanconversion #mercedessprinter #vanvibes #travel #fueleconomy #travelutah #travelcalifornia

Planning on going camping in the desert? Here are three tips for a successful trip in your campervan 🚐

1.)☀️ Wake up at first light, and never miss a sunset:
The sun is strongest in mid-day, so the mornings and evenings are the prime time for watching the sun dance across the painted sandstone. Afternoons will provide a perfect opportunity to park by the river and sneak in an afternoon siesta 🧉
The desert can be hot and dry, so preventing dehydration is crucial. Adding electrolytes will help keep your desert adventure fueled! We love @liquidIV

2.)📍 Plan your route and campsites ahead of time:
Planning your route and campsites ahead of time can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Research the different campsites available in the area and consider factors such as distance from attractions, amenities, and terrain type. It's also a good idea to plan out your route and have a backup plan in case of any detours or road closures.

3.)🐿️ Respect the wildlife and leave no trace:
The desert is home to a variety of wildlife, and it's important to respect their habitat and not disturb them. Follow the "leave no trace" principles, dispose of trash properly, and be mindful of your impact on the environment.

✅ Adhering to these guidelines will help you and your travel buddies have a memorable and safe camping adventure!
