Beyond its five insane national parks, endless cascading red rock, and other-worldly landscapes, Utah is a mecca for both families and hardcore outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you visit to take in the sites or scale some precarious big walls, it&#8217;s all offered here.<\/p>\n<p>However, Utah&#8217;s unique landscape is threatened by diminished conservation efforts. In 2017, government efforts decreased the size of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument by nearly one million acres. When visiting these fragile environments, I encourage you to donate to a non-profit environmental agency, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilderness.org\/\">The Wilderness Society<\/a>, to help protect our natural land.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shaleewanders.com\/utahs-national-parks\/\">Learn more about road tripping Utah here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2017\/03\/IMG_2161-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"underrated places in the United States - Utah\" width=\"603\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Northeast Fall Color Road Trip <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 416 Miles<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving Time:<\/strong> 9 hours, 33 minutes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trip Length:<\/strong> 5 Days<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlights: <\/strong>Lake Placid, Adirondack Mountains, White Mountains, Mount Washington, Portland, Acadia National Park<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m40!1m12!1m3!1d2928724.1706363386!2d-73.35979380532537!3d44.205373426698486!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m25!3e0!4m5!1s0x4ccae263be62315b%3A0x282ca3e6dd25d3c2!2sLake%20Placid%2C%20NY!3m2!1d44.2794911!2d-73.9798713!4m5!1s0x4cb3f46d4240c90f%3A0xfca2c69d2225c8ac!2sWhite%20Mountains%2C%20Lincoln%2C%20NH!3m2!1d44.1643804!2d-71.4325573!4m5!1s0x4cb29c72aab0ee2d%3A0x7e9db6b53372fa29!2sPortland%2C%20ME!3m2!1d43.6590993!2d-70.2568189!4m5!1s0x4caebfbebe3482a1%3A0xfeb2b70c758b6ece!2sAcadia%20National%20Park%20Pond%2C%20Bar%20Harbor%2C%20ME!3m2!1d44.3781849!2d-68.2502444!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1572528642252!5m2!1sen!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2015\/06\/IMG_3726-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"best road trips\" width=\"603\" height=\"452\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2019\/10\/DSC03533-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"best road trips in North America\" width=\"295\" height=\"443\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2019\/11\/DSC02632-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"best road trips in the United States\" width=\"294\" height=\"441\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Around every corner, something is hidden in plain sight: a mountaintop fire tower free for camping, a quaint small town straight out of an overly-romantic Hallmark movie, a small rock outcrop that appears to be expertly manufactured to watch the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Mount Washington, the Northeast&#8217;s tallest point, holds the record for the strongest wind ever recorded, an astounding 231 mph.

I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of it, the two-lane coastal highway stretching from San Diego to Northern California known for its epic Pacific views and population of young vanlifers searching for the California dream.<\/p>\n<p>Although an extremely popular route, the highway does offer a one-of-kind perspective on America&#8217;s western coast. It&#8217;s the best road trip in the world to crank up some 80s rock, roll down the windows, smell the ocean, and let time roll as slowly as it wants. Pull off often for picnics, views, and bathrooms, and get an early start at popular spots such as McWay Falls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shaleewanders.com\/pacific-coast-highway\/\">Learn more about road tripping Highway One here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2017\/01\/IMG_9955-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"USA best road trips\" width=\"605\" height=\"403\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.shaleewanders.com\/\/2019\/01\/IMG_3535-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor travel blog\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"2048\" width=\"1365\" title=\"IMG_3535-1 (1)\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>At any given moment, Shalee is either lost, hunting for ice cream, or obsessively planning her next adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Born and raised in rural Michigan, she began exploring the shores of Great Lakes as a teen, often sleeping in her car to save money.

Baltics:\n\nWe got one recurring question on this trip: why?\n\nFrom friends, from family, from locals. \ud83d\ude02 And to be fair, we didn\u2019t really have a good answer besides \u2018why not.\u2019\n\nBetween me and @dontswettit we\u2019ve been to almost every country in Europe and we were looking for a trip that was somewhere new, somewhere different, and somewhere we could easily still keep up with work. A road trip through the Baltics seemed like the perfect itinerary - and it was!\n\nPhotos in order: \n\n1: Our cabin on a farm in rural Lithuania. We were the first guests from the U.S. to stay. \n\n2: Riga, Latvia: my favorite city from the trip! Great food, great architecture. Would love to go back again. \n\n3: Slow, snowy mornings in Tallinn, Estonia. \n\n4. The Baltics had a surprisingly good craft beer scene. Vilnius, Lithuania, had the best beers &amp; cafes. \n\n5. Interior of our \u201cwork retreat\u201d cabin that had no wifi \ud83d\ude02\n\n6. View of Riga from the tower of St. Peter\u2019s Church.\n\n7. Work nights by the fire in historic old town, Tallinn. \n\n8. Crossing the Estonia-Latvia border on a random dirt road.\n\n9. Tallinn old town on a snowy day. Definitely the most \u201cmedieval\u201d town I\u2019ve visited in Europe! \n\nThis was also my first trip in years I left my camera behind and just carried my phone. No regrets! \n\n#baltics #riga #europetravel #tallinn #vilnius #cabininthewoods #roadtrip\">\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new sbi_transition\" id=\"sbi_17848006905146361\" data-date=\"1709820511\">\r\n    <div class=\"sbi_photo_wrap\">\r\n        <a class=\"sbi_photo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C4N0DZku2pZ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t39.30808-6\/429854177_18419818522022058_6366545060850120886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&#038;ccb=1-7&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;_nc_ohc=Z47m5wzbsygAb62vuPw&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&#038;oh=00_AfAo2vAf0M1IvYU4BMfzRukfQzw6GY0bE35LGWevjufu-w&#038;oe=6632665F\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;d&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/429854177_18419818522022058_6366545060850120886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=Z47m5wzbsygAb62vuPw&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfAo2vAf0M1IvYU4BMfzRukfQzw6GY0bE35LGWevjufu-w&amp;oe=6632665F&quot;,&quot;150&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/429854177_18419818522022058_6366545060850120886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=Z47m5wzbsygAb62vuPw&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfAo2vAf0M1IvYU4BMfzRukfQzw6GY0bE35LGWevjufu-w&amp;oe=6632665F&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/429854177_18419818522022058_6366545060850120886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=Z47m5wzbsygAb62vuPw&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfAo2vAf0M1IvYU4BMfzRukfQzw6GY0bE35LGWevjufu-w&amp;oe=6632665F&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com\\\/v\\\/t39.30808-6\\\/429854177_18419818522022058_6366545060850120886_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=18de74&amp;_nc_ohc=Z47m5wzbsygAb62vuPw&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&amp;edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&amp;oh=00_AfAo2vAf0M1IvYU4BMfzRukfQzw6GY0bE35LGWevjufu-w&amp;oe=6632665F&quot;}\">\r\n            <span class=\"sbi-screenreader\">Last year I turned down the opportunity to be on a<\/span>\r\n            <svg class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-clone fa-w-16 sbi_lightbox_carousel_icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-label=\"Clone\" data-fa-pro\u0192cessed=\"\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"clone\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n\t                <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M464 0H144c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v48H48c-26.51 0-48 21.49-48 48v320c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h320c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48v-48h48c26.51 0 48-21.49 48-48V48c0-26.51-21.49-48-48-48zM362 464H54a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V150a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h42v224c0 26.51 21.49 48 48 48h224v42a6 6 0 0 1-6 6zm96-96H150a6 6 0 0 1-6-6V54a6 6 0 0 1 6-6h308a6 6 0 0 1 6 6v308a6 6 0 0 1-6 6z\"><\/path>\n\t            <\/svg>\t                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shaleewanders.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/instagram-feed\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Last year I turned down the opportunity to be on a Netflix show. Filming started directly after a group trip and I would\u2019ve had to fly to the complete opposite side of the world and dive head-first into an insanely unforgiving environment completely jet-lagged &amp; exhausted. I would already be \u201clate\u201d and the last one to arrive with no leeway between. I\u2019m a firm believer in trusting your gut. My FOMO and drive to try everything was telling me I was a complete idiot in turning it down. But I could see the writing on the wall. I mean don\u2019t get me wrong, my mental breakdown would\u2019ve made great TV, but who the hell knows where my dignity would\u2019ve been - LOL.\n\nFast forward to the long flight home from the trip where I would\u2019ve been heading to film. After sitting on the tarmac of London Heathrow for 5 hours the plane was struck by lightning on take-off. It ended up taking 50+ hours to get home and I couldn\u2019t help but laugh and be thankful at the way the universe works. I\u2019m 100% sure I would\u2019ve made an absolute fool out of myself being on national television in that state in a truly unforgiving natural environment.\n\nI\u2019m always a firm believer in trusting your gut. I do it with almost everything. I\u2019ve turned down jobs, partnerships, and opportunities my entire life because it just didn\u2019t feel right, even if on paper it made sense. Don\u2019t take an opportunity just because it sounds right. It also needs to feel right.\n\n#1 summit of Acatenenago\n#2 crossing the knifes edge on Capitol Peak \n#3 fire tower in the Big Horn Mountains \n#4 summit of Middle Teton \n#5 random pinnacle &amp;
