Death Valley trip itinerary (SAVE for future planning, and share with someone you’d like to explore with). Death Valley National Park is extreme— it’s the largest national park in the lower 48, the lowest point in North America (well below sea level), and the hottest place on Earth- it’s reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit. It may be one of the most underrated national parks. It’s magnificent! We recommend visiting in winter. Here is how we spent a day and a half in this park.

MESQUITE FLAT SAND DUNES— DEATH VALLEY šŸŒ… Sunrise on the sand dunes, just a few tiny humans in a sea of sand. Space to breathe. Space to remember how small we are.

This is what scale looks like. Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48 United States. Its dramatic landscapes are varied and epic in scale.

The dunes were a very fun playground for our kids, and honestly all of us (maybe especially!

šŸŽØARTISTS PALETTE - DEATH VALLEY Can you believe these colors?! We arrived before sunrise and watched the desert slowly come alive with color. No filter. No crowd. Just geology and light doing their thing. 🤩

Death Valley is full of extremes—but sunrise at Artists Palette might be the most quietly magical of them all. But, honestly it’s hard to choose a favorite spot because this National Park has so, so many epic, dramatic landscapes. We’ll be sharing more from our recent visit there soon so be sure to follow us and check back soon.

This may be one of the most underrated parks— and this is the best time of year to visit Death Valley. Highly recommend adding it to your winter travel bucket list!

Social media shows the highlights.
Life happens in the quiet, messy in-between.

This year held beauty and burnout.
Adventure and overwhelm.
Joy and fear.
Some of it we shared. Much of it we didn’t.

I’m learning that showing up honestly matters more than showing up perfectly.

Here’s to more truth, more rest, and more room for all of it in the year ahead. ✨

Traveling together as a family is one of the most enriching parts of parenting. Don’t ever let anyone, or your own fears, discourage this.

Yesterday we hiked Los PeƱasquitos Canyon in San Diego with our family so our kids can experience a place their grandparents refused to let be paved over without a fight.

The passion of Alex’s parents Nancy and Noah Yates and their dedicated, relentless community activism saved this precious natural area from destruction. You can read their story by visiting Friends of PeƱasquitos Canyon website.

Protected places exist because people demand that they matter.

Right now, public lands are under significant threat. Show up for the places you love. Speak out for nature 🌿Once it’s gone- it’s gone.

A beautiful weeknight at Chicago’s to get us into the holiday spirit! This month has been a whirlwind, but we are almost done with holiday planning and shopping. Looking forward to heading to California next week to spend time with friends and family šŸŽ„

šŸ‘‹šŸ»Hi friends, it’s been a minute and probably a good time for a ā€œget to know usā€ moment. šŸ˜„ We deeply appreciate this supportive IG community, and love getting to know more about the people behind the accounts we love. So we should do the same!

šŸ‘‹šŸ»I’m Sharon (or Shaz as my friends call me) and the curator behind our content. I’m a proud US Navy Veteran which provided me incredible experiences traveling and living overseas and trained me to be a photographer and journalist. Those early experiences in my late teens/early 20s sparked a lifelong passion for travel and gave me career skills I’ve benefited from my whole life.

For the past 20+ years my career has been solely dedicated to media storytelling focused on wildlife care, conservation and climate action. I work with non-profits across the U.S. dedicated to protecting animals and preserving our planet. šŸŒŽ

Travel is my passion. It’s what I highlight here on this page. Being outside in nature enriches my soul. As a parent, I aim to get my kids out in nature as much as possible. We are weekend warriors and make the most of our vacation time for family adventures which we feature here.

🄾My kids will be prominently featured in my upcoming book published by and 50 Hikes With Kids— Illinois, Indiana, Ohio slated for sale in 2024. Stay tuned!

My goal for this page is to share travel tips and inspiration with strong emphasis on nature adventures, traveling as a family with kids, and promoting sustainable lifestyle choices.

Thank you for following along on our adventures. Tell me something about you!
