We hit the road with instagram.com/thebennettgang and chatted about her favorite road trip moments and must-have essentials:

Q: How has road travel shaped you? 🚍
Road life has completely changed my standards when it comes to living a happy and successful life. I always thought the goal in life was to have more. A big house, an expensive car, a ton of money. But the simplicity and freedom my family and I have experienced from living on the road has showed me that success and happiness are more attainable than we think.

Q: What is a favorite road trip memory?
I have so many favorite travel memories but I think my favorite was our trip to the Grand Canyon. It was a spontaneous trip. Completely unplanned and random and ended up being such a fun adventure for my family.

Q: What’s your favorite road trip view or place? 🌵California Baja Sur, Mexico has become one of our favorite road-trip destinations. I never imagined that we would cross the border in our little tiny home on wheels and now we are coming up on our third year of travel to Mexico. The views of the mountains and oceans during the drive are absolutely unbelievable, just beware of all the tight roads and potholes 🥴

Q: What are 3 things you absolutely can’t live without on the road?
➖Tire traction mats. While they don’t work in every situation, we have had several instances where we were stuck in the sand and they were a lifesaver.
➖Great music for the whole family to vibe out to.
➖Road snacks! 🙌🏽

Q: What gives you peace of mind on the road?
Probably having our travel plans in advance. Spontaneity is fun but it’s definitely more peaceful knowing exactly what to expect and having a back up plan. And of course having roadside assistance,
it’s good to know that if anything goes wrong we have someone we can call no matter where we are.

Putting a Modern Twist on a Vintage Airstream ✨

We sat down with instagram.com/taylavendr to hear about their take on making the switch to renovating and living in an Airstream full-time; quite literally proving that home is what you make of it.

“The most magical moment was waking up at a boondocking spot in the Grand Tetons and having that view. We risked the hard road and got a stunning memory.”

We hit the road with and chatted about her favorite road trip moments and must-have essentials:

Q: How has road travel shaped you?
A: Road travel has given me the opportunity to slow down and appreciate nature which has brought so much more peace and happiness into my life. I’ve also become extremely capable at fixing things. 😂

Q: What’s your favorite road trip view or place?
A: Nothing beats pulling into a camping spot in the forest with nobody else around!

Q: What are 3 things you absolutely can’t live without on the road?
A: My cat, a good set of tools and solar power.

Q: What gives you peace of mind on the road?
A: Knowing that no matter what happens, the comfort of my bed is always right there.

The drive along Teton Park Road offers jaw-dropping views at every turn. Some of our favorites include:

🚗 Jenny Lake: Start your day with a boat ride across crystal-clear waters or hike the scenic trails around the lake.

📸 Snake River Overlook: Capture that iconic view of the river winding beneath the towering peaks—truly a photographer’s dream!

✨ Chapel of the Transfiguration: A peaceful spot where you can admire the stunning mountain backdrop from inside a historic chapel.

Teton Park Road, a scenic gem in Grand Teton National Park, was constructed in the 1930s as part of a New Deal project to provide work during the Great Depression. Stretching 20 miles, the road follows the path of an old wagon trail making it a journey through both natural beauty and rich history.

We hit the road with and chatted about his favorite road trip moments and must-have essentials while he’s out driving his effortlessly cool 18-wheeler or trusty pickup truck:

Q: How has road travel shaped you?
A: Having spent the past decade on and off the road as a long-haul trucker all around America, the highway has become my home in so many ways. It's helped shape my creative vision, my appreciation for the people and places that make up this country, and my understanding of how beautiful, complex, and delicate life can be.

Q: What is a favorite road trip memory?
A: One of my favorite memories I've had as a trucker was driving my eighteen wheeler for the first time to a cemetery outside of Fort Worth, Texas to visit the grave of one of my favorite musicians Townes Van Zandt. I grew up listening to his music and writing and happened to look up where he was buried as I was hauling through Texas and lucked out as I was able to stop off on my way through right at sunrise and spent an hour taking in his energy and the moment.

Q: What’s your favorite road trip view or place?
A: My favorite view of the road would have to be anywhere seen through the framing of my eighteen wheelers front and side windows. Everything is bigger in a truck so the view always feels more encapsulating and more personal as if you're actually outside experiencing the passing mountains, or desert, or endless sea of wheat-fields or forest. It's a view that's helped shape a lot of how I see and feel as a creative and as a person.

Q: What are 3 things you absolutely can’t live without on the road?
A: 1. My cowboy boots. 2. My haikus. 3. The hum of my truck's CB radio to help me fall asleep.

Q: What gives you peace of mind on the road?
A: The silence of the highway is really the ultimate peace of mind. It's a place that has no past and no future. Only what's right in front of you and that's ever-changing and always moving. It's my blue-collar zen.

The Perseid meteor shower, a dazzling display of shooting stars, peaks every August as Earth passes through the debris left by the Swift-Tuttle comet. Last night’s show was a celestial treat! 💫

There’s still time to catch a glimpse this week. For the best view, head to a dark spot away from city lights—places like the high deserts of Nevada or the remote wilderness of the Rocky Mountains.

Serious skygazer? You’ll want to head to these top dark sky spots:

🌟Big Bend National Park, Texas
🌟Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania
🌟Death Valley National Park, California/Nevada
🌟Mauna Kea, Hawaii
🌟Great Basin National Park, Nevada
🌟Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
🌟Big Pine Key, Florida

Roadside Attractions for Your Summer Trip 🚗

Road trip season is in full swing. With lunches stored in backseat coolers and rest stops at middle-of-nowhere gas stations, memories are waiting to be made. But how do you punch up a road trip to really make the most of it? Well, as the old saying goes: “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” So let’s add a few pit stops to the adventure with must-see roadside attractions for your next road trip:

✨ The Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, TX: This museum walks you through the creation and history of the iconic soda brand, offers soda tastings, and even a paranormal tour – in the same town where the brand was born in 1885.

✨ White Sands National Park in New Mexico: What’s stopping you from making a quick detour to sled down white sand dunes? As a common road trip stop, you simply must experience this national park.

✨ Buc-ee's Gas Station in everywhere, TX: While native Texans may be getting tired of seeing the Bucc-ee’s billboards along the highway, you cannot deny the merit of its barbeque sandwiches. Out-of-towners would be missing out if they didn’t stop in to see what the hype is about – and also to enjoy the clean bathrooms.

Set out on a journey through time along the Redwood Highway, where towering giants of nature line the road. Spanning over 350 miles from Crescent City, CA, to Grants Pass, OR, this iconic route winds through the heart of Redwood National and State Parks.

Built in the early 20th century, the Redwood Highway has been a beloved path for road trippers and nature lovers for decades. Along the way, stop at must-see spots like:

- Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park: Home to some of the oldest and most magnificent redwoods.
- Trees of Mystery: A quirky attraction with a gondola ride above the treetops.
- Avenue of the Giants: A 31-mile scenic drive through some of the largest trees on Earth.
- Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park: Known for lush fern-covered canyons and Roosevelt elk sightings.

Whether you're winding through fern-covered canyons, gazing up at 2,000-year-old redwoods, or taking in ocean vistas, every mile of this highway is an adventure. 🌲🚗.

Moon phases over the open road 🌙

Wes Eisenhauer’s work is an ode to wide open spaces, the moon, and South Dakota, and we’re here for it. We wanted to know why moonlit highways inspire him to make these collages and how he brings the magic of road trips to life. “There’s nothing like the feeling of being alone in the park at sunrise, surrounded by bison as the sun comes up. It looks and feels like another planet.”

Discover the full photo essay:

We sat down with South Dakota Photographer Wes Eisenhauer to get his take on all things landscape photography and his unique take on digital collages through the lens of various moon phases. We’re completely captivated by his form of artistic expression, which highlights the joy of the open road w...

Gas-station air compressors: Just say no. Never mind the hassle of finding one you can navigate your rig alongside—you just can’t trust them. Used, abused, and poorly maintained, they can’t be counted on to show accurate inflation pressure. If you’re on the road with any regularity, you need your own. Bonus points if it’s easier to store and tote than your average beach cooler.

Here are our picks for portable air compressors that won’t leave road trippers feeling deflated:

✨ The Viair 400P RVS: It looks like something out of Nikola Tesla’s workshop, weighs not quite 11 pounds, and is versatile and powerful enough to service everything from tow vehicles to B-vans to monster fifth-wheels and motorhomes.

✨ TireMinder RV Air: Standout feature: a digital gauge that’s accurate to within 1 PSI. With a noise level of just 60 decibels, you might even be able to top off without violating quiet hours.

✨ Smittybilt High-Performance 5.65 CFM: Built with off-roaders and overlanders in mind, its one-third horsepower motor delivers a continuous output of 40 PSI for up to 40 minutes, and onboard safety features prevent overheating.

✨ Viair 88P: Not as powerful as its bigger, pricier sibling, but it weighs just 4.75 pounds and still outputs up to 120 PSI, easily handling tires up to 33 inches.

We hit the road with and chatted about her favorite road trip moments and must-have essentials. 🚗

Q: How has road travel shaped you?
A: There really is nothing like a good road trip. I grew up with a family who doesn't love long drives/traveling so I never experienced it much as a child. I have been able to see the most wonderful sights and meet some amazing people during our travels throughout the country. I love seeing all the towns people grew up in, and the diverse scenery in the U.S. It makes me grateful to live in this country.

Q: What is a favorite road trip memory?
A: The most incredible and majestic sunrise I've ever witnessed was on a road trip. We stopped in the town of Hanksville, UT and camped overnight. It was the windiest and loudest night I've ever slept through, but when we woke up it was the most beautiful scene. There was an oncoming storm in the west with tons of lightning, but at the same time towards the east was the sun rising with all the beautiful pinks and purples of a desert sunrise. The sun lit up the desert towards the west and turned the stormy clouds pink. It really cannot be described with words alone. I will be lucky if I see a sunrise that comes close to that ever again in my life.

Q: What’s your favorite road trip view or place?
A: It is almost impossible to choose, but I've always loved road tripping through Southern Utah around Monument Valley and Lake Powell.

Q: What are 3 things you absolutely can’t live without on the road?
A: A giant solar powered battery (to charge laptops/phones/gaming consoles, etc), an emergency kit, and of course my film camera!

Q: What gives you peace of mind on the road?
A: I have peace of mind on the road when I know we're prepared and have access to help if needed. There are long stretches of roads especially in the Southwest U.S. without any services so having a satellite phone and all the emergency supplies to stay the night if necessary give me peace of mind. Also plenty of water!

Did you know there's a little piece of Europe you can drive to from North America? 🇫🇷

Welcome to St. Pierre & Miquelon, a tiny French archipelago off the coast of Fortune, Newfoundland in Atlantic Canada. Take a short 90-minute ferry ride to step onto European soil without crossing an ocean. It’s France’s oldest overseas territory.

Explore St. Pierre's narrow streets and museums, then venture to Miquelon for rugged landscapes and wild horses. Enjoy authentic French cuisine, practice your French, and pay in euros. C’est superbe!

The Miquelon Islands offer a serene and picturesque escape, perfect for those looking to road trip to a unique part of France… in North America.

Little moments (mostly revolving around food) from a spring spent in Montana. ♡

We asked Gloria about her three favorite meals on the road and here’s what she shared:

1. I’m a big fan of fresh-caught trout cooked with bacon done over the fire (or if burn bans are in effect) 🐟

2. Huckleberry pancakes with lots of peanut butter and maple syrup - especially this time of year they are growing everywhere in Montana!

3. Pan Con Tomate: a simple & classic Spanish dish from my home in Spain where I toast bread with olive oil, rub some garlic clove on it and grate a tomato on the top. Then add a dash of salt sprinkled on top! 🍅 ✨

“I try to keep things fairly simple with minimal ingredients but prioritize protein, healthy fats and lots of flavor!”
