Of the three new-to-me Canadian National Parks we explored on our summer camping road trip through the Rockies - Yoho completely stole my heart. From waking up to the view of glacier at our campsite, to walking around Emerald Lake, to conquering three hikes in just one day - I'm a total fan.

Read MoreJust a touch west of popular Fallen Leaf Lake near South Lake Tahoe, California lies the Mt. Tallac Trailhead, offering a few different destinations along it's route to the summit. We opted to trek to the destination just before the steep climb to the summit begins; Cathedral Lake.
Read MoreWhen I was planning our drive to Lake Tahoe this year - I did my best to find a route which we hadn't traveled on our first drive down from Seattle two years ago. Little did I know, as I navigated on the Google Map, I was plotting a course down the Oregon Outback Scenic Byway.
