We did a road trip around Iceland for 2 weeks at the end of August. This is a perfect time if you don’t want the crowds and still want some decent weather. But you have to keep in mind that the weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. We had a very good first week and a wet second week.
Myvatn is the name of a lake in Nothern Iceland. It thanks its name to the huge amount of midges that can be found here in summer. Because we were there at the end of August, we weren’t bothered by them.
Iceland always has been a dream destination of us, it isn’t on my bucket list for nothing. And this year was THE year! Because hotels and Airbnb are soo expensive, we decided to go camping. This also gave us the freedom to decide when we would go visit what and how long we were going to stay. And on top of that was this my camping debut. And I have to admit: camping was so much fun and we will definitely do it again.
This road trip from Chicago to Las Vegas has some stops in beautiful National Parks like Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Zion. But, you will also visit some lesser known places. It is a good mix of magnificent nature, wildlife, and city life.
After visiting Yellowstone, we headed to Grand Teton National Park. Driving up there, you can see the Tetons appearing in all their glory.
The ultimate goal of this road trip was to visit Yellowstone National Park. Here we give you the ultimate things to see in the first National Park.
On our way to Badlands, crossing South Dakota on Interstate 90, we decided to stop at 1880 Town for a quick picnic. Instead, we spent a lot more time discovering this town with his houses from the 1880 to 1920 era.
