Panorama of a herd of American Bison grazing on the prairie of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in spring
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

We stayed here this past weekend as we had enjoyed the hotel a year prior. This time I was very unimpressed with the cleanliness of the room and wear and tear. The room is in desperate need of a deep clean, the carpets, furniture the bathrooms smelt like pee and the corners were full of grunge. There ...

Room was clean for the most part. Between the wall and front of bed some trash and dust bunnies were left. We moved the bed because the remote fell.
