Thinking about taking a journey across the northern part of America with a visit to Banff National Park in Canada?
Wondering what you may see along the way?
Reed and Kathy, of our Green Mountain Club, engaged in a 6 week, multi thousand mile road trip during the summer of 2023. With their Prius towing their trusty 'Trudy' (their sleep-mobile), 2 bicycles on the roof sharing space with a 16 foot canoe, they conquered the roads, the mountains, and were rewarded with the incredible beauty and adventure of national monuments and forests.
Join them on the podcast below as they fill in the details of their awe inspiring travel.
PS: you will hear in the podcast a reference to the above mentioned travel book. Sounds like "Road Trip" is a 'must read' if you are seeking the slower, more scenic backroads of America on your next road trip.
