Million Dollar Highway. So beautiful but not as treacherous as I thought it would be.

Million Dollar Highway. So beautiful but not as treacherous as I thought it would be. . The section in the first photo is probably the most sketchy part. But it was a pretty short section. . I’d seen lots of videos and posts about this road and had sort of built it up in my mind, I think, and thought it was going to be way more treacherous than it was. . We saw quite a few people taking their rigs (travel trailers, class A’s, etc) over the mountain using this road, so it’s definitely doable. . But there is NOT a guard rail on most of it, so if your not super comfortable on roads like this, I wouldn’t try it. . We really enjoyed the drive and all it’s beauty. Definitely worth a trip across it if you are in the Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray , or Silverton area! . It didn’t quite hold a candle to my favorite scenic drive, Going to the Sun Road, but it was still gorgeous and interesting nonetheless. . Tell me what is your favorite scenic drive so we can add it to our bucket list?! . . . . .

Y’all this is my heartbeat right here. Backpacking in the mountains with amazing views and my favorite people. . I’m pretty sure this looks far more like what most people thought we meant when we said we were going to be RVing full time. Right?! . Back in August we set out on our first family backpacking trip in the Mt. Hood National forest. After ALOT of prep work and research and gear purchasing, we finally were ready to get out there! . My mom heart could not be more stoked that my kids are wanting to do this kind of thing as they are getting older, and that all those hikes that we powered through when they were younger and whiny are finally paying off . . Tent camping is still the worst, for anyone that is wondering , but I loved being out in the wilderness and waking up in the mountains with the the sun and the birds, and getting to experience something new. . What about you? Does this sound like torture to you or an awesome way to adventure? .
