Hi, we’re Elyse, Alan, and our pup Kodi.
After retiring, we set out to live our dream: visiting every U.S. national park. What started as a bucket list became a way of life — filled with scenic drives, cozy stays, and unforgettable moments. This is our journey, one park at a time.
After retiring, we set out to live our dream: visiting every U.S. National Park. Collecting the park stamps in our National Park Passport is my personal treasure hunt.. What started as a bucket list became a way of life — filled with scenic drives, cozy stays, and unforgettable moments. Follow our journey, one wild park at a time. So far, 23 National Parks , with lots ‘bonus stops’. I’ve realized life is love and the journey is the destination. At the end of our first adventure I realized my goal is to inspire the world by sharing what its like loving on the road . My first book, “A Van, A Dog and The Wild West” is soon to be published, and then we’re headed to the Rugged Pacific Northwest for our next epic journey.
