Great Plains Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

I've visited many locations over the years, but Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO is still my favorite place on earth. The beautiful red rock formations, serene mountain side landscape, and abundance of wildlife make this a must visit destination.

I was actually quite surprised by the gorgeous landscape of Caprock Canyons State Park on the southern edge of the Texas panhandle. It's the third largest state park in Texas and has several hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. It's also home to the official bison herd of Texas! #texas #caprockcanyons #hiking #roadtrip

Sunflower fields just to the north of Denver International Airport (at this exact marker). Of course you have to go at the right season. Photo taken at sunset #TroveOn #traveltips #GoldenHour #BestOf5
