We spent an entire week living in the Redwood National and State Park.
Hikes, drives, and a salmon festival with the Yurok Tribe filled our week, our hearts, and our memory cards.
Adding Craters of the Moon to our itinerary meant a couple of extra travel days on our cross country journey.
But what we gained from this experience can’t be measured in miles, only in memories.
Arco, Idaho may not be as well known as some places to visit, but if you like science and nature, you’ll want to consider it!
Read on to find out what we did and why we enjoyed our week here!
Polk County is where we have both grown up. We used to hike at “Circle B” when it was a roadside parking stop with a log and walkthrough gate. So to have watched it grow into the beautiful reserve and nature center it is today is bittersweet for us.
I have chased a lot of dreams in my life, and been lucky enough to achieve many of them. Seeing the Aurora Borealis, also called the Northern Lights, has been high on that list since being stationed in England in the late 1990’s and realizing they existed.
