Castle Valley, UT
Want to drive one of the most scenic routes ever?
Hit Utah State Route 128, a.k.a. the River Road.
It follows the Colorado River 45 miles from Moab to where it intersects with Interstate 70/Old US Highway 6/Old US Highway 50 at Crescent Junction.
It’s so nice we already did it twice!

Helper, UT
Fitting for the times...
Been trying to find the right words for some days now about the situation in the USA.
But every time we interrupt ourselves doing so because we realize:
It’s none of our damn business and there’s nothing we can do about it.
And that we live in a pretty awesome country...
But it sure hurts watching all of it go down, in more ways than one.
Dear USA: Get your fu***ng s**t together, please!
We’re just gonna leave it at this, which just says it all.
Everybody stay safe and healthy. Hope we can come back soon!

Stroud, OK

The iconic sign for the Skyliner Motel in beautiful and quaint Stroud Oklahoma.
Nothing but good folks there.
The sign has been gracing Route 66 since 1950 and the motel is still going strong.
It’s also just a stones throw away from yet another Stroud icon: The Rock Cafe.

Shot on film.

Devils Garden of the Grand Staircase, UT
Devils Garden of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument in south central Utah is a protected area featuring hoodoos, natural arches and other sandstone formations. The area is also known as the Devils Garden Outstanding Natural Area.
The formations in the Devils Garden were created, and continue to be shaped, by various weathering and erosional processes. These natural processes have been shaping sandstone layers formed more than 166 million years ago during the jurassic period's middle epoch.
The Devils Garden is located about 17 miles by road southeast of Escalante, Utah. The Hole-In-The-Rock Road is the main access road to the Devils Garden. The unpaved road heads southeast into the national monument beginning at its intersection with Utah Scenic Byway 12 about 5 miles east of Escalante. After traveling about 12 miles along the Hole-In-The-Rock Road there is a road to the right leading to the Devils Garden area.

Zillah, Washington.

Located at 117 First Avenue, the station is an example of novelty architecture. It was intended as a reminder of the Teapot Dome Scandal that rocked the presidency of Warren G. Harding and sent Interior Secretary Albert Fall to prison for his role in leasing government oil reserves in, among other places, Teapot Dome, Wyoming.

The station was built in 1922 on what later became U.S. Route 12. The building has a circular frame with a conical roof, sheet metal "handle", and a concrete "spout". Many such novelties were constructed as roadside attractions as the national highway system in the United States expanded during the 1920's and 1930's. The unique service station continued operation as a full-service gas station for some years. When Interstate 82 was constructed near Zillah in 1978 the station was relocated less than a mile down the Yakima Valley Highway. After the gas station was closed in 2006, it was purchased by the city the following year, rehabilitated, and relocated in 2012 to 117 First Avenue. It now serves as Zillah's visitors center.

Taos, New Mexico.

That warm glow and a buzz.
Since 1936, The Historic Taos Inn has welcomed famous folks like Greta Garbo, D. H. Lawrence, and Pawnee Bill.
The Historic Taos Inn is made up of several adobe houses, which date from the 1800s, and which surrounded a small plaza—now the Inn's spectacular lobby. A community well was located in the center of the plaza. In its place today, a fountain is surrounded by vertical vigas, which rise two-and-a-half stories to a stained glass cupola.
In the 1890's, when Dr. Thomas Paul (Doc) Martin came to Taos as the county's first, and only, physician, he bought the largest of the houses—now Doc Martin's Restaurant. Doc was a rugged individualist, but was dearly beloved because of his deep concern for his fellow man. Covering the county to treat his patients meant hitching up a team of horses—and later his tin lizzie—to travel for miles through mud and snow to set bones, break fevers and deliver babies.
Doc's wife, Helen, was noteworthy in her own right. A gifted batik artist, she was also the sister-in-law of artist Bert Phillips, one of the "Taos Founders." It was in the Martins' dining room in 1912 that Phillips and Ernest Blumenschein founded the Taos Society of Artists. The Martins later purchased additional buildings surrounding the plaza, renting them to writers and artists. When the only hotel in Taos burned the same year that Doc died, Helen entered the hospitality business. She bought the Tarleton house which was the last remaining property on the plaza (and now the site of the Adobe Bar). With the aid of Doc's former patients, she enclosed the plaza. The Hotel Martin opened in 1936.
Through the years, the Hotel Martin was the hub of Taos' social, intellectual and artistic activity. Later owners renamed it the Taos Inn, added the popular neon thunderbird sign (Taos' oldest) and the carved reception desk. In 1982, the Inn was placed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places.
