A Look Back at the Road Trips of 2021
Hooray for road trips – the only way to travel during a pandemic! There were many close to home this year in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest – to Mt. Rainier – Olympic National Park – and the Columbia Gorge.
There were also trips farther afield as when we headed south in April, on Highway 101 to enjoy America’s West Coast – America’s Best Coast – through the Redwoods to San Francisco.
And after Labor Day to Yellowstone – to enjoy more of the magnificence of nature.
I guess you could say life itself is a road trip and I’m thankful for the journey.
Hoping your trip through 2022 is a safe and happy one!

Beautiful photos, happy new year!
Thank you! You too!
Happy NewY ear Sue. Hope to see more of you and Benji in 2022. And let’s not forget Tiger.
Happy New Year to you too. And Tiger’s a bit shy, but I’ll try to get him on the blog more often!
So much to love about this post, Susanne! You captured the beautiful essences of the California coast, the PNW and Yellowstone! I will link this post to this Sunday’s SS post, so you are all set! Happy New Year, my friend! We have GOT to meet up in 2022!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Terri! And yes, let’s meet up somewhere in the lovely state of Washington! 🙂
Yes!! Hans and I are toying with an overnight stay in Leavenworth sooner than later.
A beautiful town in an enchanting mountain setting! Especially beautiful in the snow! Who knows? Maybe we’ll see you there! 🙂
Hans has been there a few years ago. My neighbors rave about it. Maybe late January, depending on our WA weather!
We usually go at least once a year, though rarely in the winter.
Even in this challenging year of covid spikes and new variants, you managed to explore so many terrific parts of your world – here’s to a happy and healthy 2022 for the world!
Yes indeed! Thanks so much, John! Happy, Healthy, New Year! 🙂
Happy New Year!

Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. We managed to hit the road in spite of everything. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos! 😊
You’re so lucky to have such amazing scenery almost on your doorstep! Happy New Year, and here’s to more adventures in 2022 🙂
