Would you make the climb… or just admire the dinosaur tracks from below?

We stopped at the Poison Spider Trailhead in Moab, and of course, I wanted to get as close as I could to the dinosaur footprints. It’s not easy to get right up to the tracks but I decided to climb up the rock to get a better view. And thankfully, I had some sweet folks nearby who helped me get up. ❤️ These footprints were made by theropod dinosaurs —two-legged, meat-eating dinosaurs. 🦖 190 million years ago. How cool is it to stand there and look at something left behind by a creature that walked this same area so long ago? Another adventure checked off the list! #PoisonSpiderTrailhead #MoabUtah #DinosaurTracks #UtahAdventure #DinosaurHistory

We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into on this drive…

We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into on this drive… We rode from Moab to Potash and then headed onto Shafer Trail—and WOW, this was an adventure!The road climbs along the canyon walls with incredible views, and steep drop-offs. At times, I was definitely holding my breath! It took us a couple of hours, and navigation doesn’t always work out here, so download your maps before you go! You can usually follow the trail, but don’t count on having service. This was one of those drives where the journey was every bit as amazing as the destination. Would you take on Shafer Trail? #ShaferTrail #MoabUtah #UtahAdventures #Canyonlands #FullTimeRV

Want to walk where dinosaurs roamed 150 million years ago?

Want to walk where dinosaurs roamed 150 million years ago? We found Trail Through Time , about 20 miles from Grand Junction, and got to chat with a paleontologist and then hiked to see the partial remains of a 60-foot Camarasaurus embedded in rock! 🦴 It was HOT, so we kept our hike short—but this place is definitely worth a visit! 🥵🦕 #TrailThroughTime #GrandJunctionColorado #DinosaurTrail #ColoradoAdventures #WheelsandWarbles

Would you spend the night in one of America’s most famous haunted hotels? 👻🏔️We stopped for lunch at The Post next to the iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park—and before we even made it inside, we spotted a beautiful elk wandering the property. What a welcome!After lunch, we explored the historic Stanley Hotel, best known for inspiring Stephen King’s The Shining and for serving as the filming location of the 1997 TV miniseries The Shining. It has also appeared in movies like Dumb and Dumber and the documentary Room 237.Inside, you’ll find grand staircases, elegant historic décor, vintage photos, cozy gathering spaces, and fascinating displays that tell the hotel’s story. I even wandered through the hedge maze while taking in the incredible mountain views all around the property.I didn’t stay the night… and maybe that’s for the best! The Stanley Hotel has a long-standing reputation for being haunted, with countless guests sharing eerie experiences over the years.Would you spend the night there… or is a daytime visit enough for you? 👇 #StanleyHotel #EstesPark #ColoradoAdventures #HauntedHotels #TravelVlog #WheelsAndWarbles

This Colorado town has fountains you can actually drink from…would you drink the water?

This Colorado town has fountains you can actually drink from…would you drink the water?Welcome to Manitou Springs, where colorful historic buildings and natural mineral springs make every stroll an adventure. It’s said the spring water is safe to drink, and many of the springs are naturally carbonated. Every fountain has its own unique mineral blend, so no two taste exactly alike.Just be sure to read the signs before taking a sip—they’ll tell you about each spring and whether it’s meant for drinking.As we drove around, we found something we didn’t expect… a huge drum circleAnd yes… it definitely had that free-spirited Colorado vibe in the air you hear about. 😂Would you try the famous mineral springs?#ManitouSprings #ColoradoAdventures #ExploreColorado #TravelColorado #hiddengems

We Made It!

You don’t just get to the top—you earn it. (Part 2)The Pikes Peak Highway climbs over 14,000 feet with 150+ turns, steep drop-offs, and constantly changing scenery. It’s one of the most iconic mountain drives in the U.S. Up here, you’re literally above the clouds. The air is thinner, the temperature drops fast, and everything feels quieter… almost unreal.It’s hard to describe until you’re standing here looking out over Colorado. Would you do this drive or take the Cog Railway instead? #PikesPeak #ColoradoAdventures #MountainRoads #wheelsandwarbles #fulltimetraveler

Driving up to 14,000 feet… one wrong turn would be a very bad day.

Driving up to 14,000 feet… one wrong turn would be a very bad day. This is Pikes Peak in Colorado… one of the highest drivable mountains in North America.The road climbs over 14,000 feet with more than 150 turns… and the higher you go, the thinner the air gets. What starts as a normal mountain drive slowly turns into something a little more intense and scary… tighter curves, steep drop-offs, but views that get bigger with every mile. By the time you reach the top, you’re literally driving above the clouds. The views are worth it… but the drive is something you don’t forget. Would you drive it. #PikesPeak #ColoradoTravel #VisitColorado #MountainAdventures #WheelsandWarbles
