How about a boomer road trip in a Conestoga wagon? That’s how the pioneers arrived in Stevensville—Montana’s first settlement and our new home town. We’ll be celebrating pioneer culture with our neighbors this weekend at Western Heritage Days. The three-day event includes a chuck wagon contest, rummage sale, barnyard games and a pony rodeo (the […]
Alan and I look forward to including outdoor activities in our boomer travel plans. In fact, most of our trips are filled with activities of the outdoor kind. This photo is from a hike on Cascade Head north of Lincoln City, in central Oregon. Our exploration of the Cascade Head Preserve, part of Nature Conservancy […]
Want to know a secret? Shh. Lean in a little bit closer. I’m a boomer traveler who’s always wanted to go on a hiking or walking tour. And, that’s just what Alan and I will be doing in September. We’ll be hiking and walking in Montana on a Glacier National Park hiking tour with Road […]
In my opinion, a hike is a hike, no matter the exertion level. Some of us are up for hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim—uh, that would not be me—while others (probably the majority of boomers) are looking for an active travel experience that will take us outside and into the wonders of nature […]
Are you looking for a Canyonlands National Park photography itinerary from two boomer travelers who’ve been there and done that?

When is the best time for a do-it-yourself Canyonlands National Park photo trip? Alan […]
Snorkeling on the Kona Coast makes a fun adventure whether you’re on a Hawaii shore excursion or booking independently as part of a Hawaiian vacation. Snorkeling is one of our favorite active travel experiences. Add a fast ride in the ocean on a zodiac raft and Alan and I are in adventure heaven. That”s what […]
Oregon beachcombing offers active boomer travelers the chance to get out and explore. Who knows what you’ll find on a beach where the sea splashes over rock formations depositing treasures on the shore? I captured this scene when Alan attended a one-on-one photography workshop with Marc Adamus on the central Oregon coast. While the two […]
There’s nothing that Alan and I like better than an off-the-beaten-travel experience, especially if it includes a fun, boomer road trip. Here’s a New Mexico backroads trip that’s one of our favorites. It includes national monuments and out-of-the-way destinations with plenty of history. New Mexico backroads trip itinerary starting from Tucson At the My Itchy […]
