National Park Week: Plan your next epic family trip
|
Hey Reader, When my kids hit their teen years, I wasn’t sure if our family adventures were going to survive. Suddenly, sports schedules, friend hangouts, and opinions (so many opinions) took over. But we found our sweet spot—and it was between trail markers, waterfall lookouts, and late-night s’mores at a national park. National parks became our reset button. If you’re craving time together that doesn’t involve devices or carpooling across town, these are for you: 🗺️ Here are the best national parks to visit with teens You don’t have to plan the whole thing today. Whether you’re trying to steal a weekend away or map out a big summer adventure, these guides will help you skip the stress and get straight to the good stuff. Catch you on the trail, Tonya P.S. Got a teen who’s not super into hiking? I’ve got tips for that too in the first post 😉

Michigan – Small towns, freshwater beaches, and just enough outdoors to keep teens off their...
Hey there, Reader! Over the past 20 years of planning family vacations—especially the kind that involve teenagers, coolers full of snacks, and playlists on shuffle—I’ve learned that road trips offer something special. The freedom to explore, time to connect, and the chance to actually enjoy the journey.
