Fantasy Canyon...a unique and beautiful spot on our public lands in Utah. .. What's your thoughts on tagging awesome locations? Some think you shouldn't and say that beautiful or unique places are getting overwhelmed by people, or that people try to go to extreme locations unprepared. Some think people are just being selfish. They got to visit, or paid a guide, and they want to keep it a secret and not let others have their experience. We have always found cool, off the beaten path places on IG, then researched and visited ourselves. We enjoy sharing freely with the rv and travel IG community, is that wrong? #ihavequestions #fantasycanyon #visitutah #blmlands #publiclands #lifeelevated #utah #visitutah #optoutside #utahunique #exploreutah #hiking #slc #nature #utahlife #igutah #adventure #utahrocks #getoutside #wanderlust #hikeutah #travel #explore (at Tag Responsibly, Keep the West Wild) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAmjLnrbrg/?utm_medium=tumblr

We had such a good time boondocking with @debdeb4813 at La Posa BLM LTVA. We ran into several other full-time Rv'er friends that were in the area as well. We jeeped up to dripping springs and saw the petroglyphs. We also explored the flea market at Tysons Well. The Quartzsite crowd is definitely smaller than when we were here in 2018.For food we recommend Silly Al's for pizza and Gringos for Tacos. . #quartzsite #ltva #blmlands #drippingsprings #sunfollowers #winternomads#wanderlust#campgrounds #outdoorlife #fulltimerv  #homeiswhereyouparkit #drycamping #boondoocking #jeepaz #jeeptrails #campfire #sunset (at Quartzsite, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpsFkfBmKl/?igshid=4h0oxrwlsqf1

With picturesque rocky peaks, narrow canyons and open woodlands, the Dripping Springs Natural Area is one of the most beautiful places to photograph in New Mexico. The Organ Mountains overlooking the area are named for their steep spires that resemble the pipes of an organ. They rise over 9,000 feet in elevation and provide a haven for hikers and adventure seekers. With over four miles of easy hiking trails, there are excellent opportunities to view wildlife and walk along the low elevation pinyon-juniper and oak woodlands. You can't beat the magnificent mountain views. Photo courtesy of Ryan Fitzsimons.

Today is National Love Your Pet Day! Sharing beautiful adventures with our best friends makes everything better. Dog-friendly options are available at many public lands, like the lovely Illipah Reservoir Recreation Area in Nevada managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Watch the sunset, run free and get the zoomies (in designated areas) or take to the trail together. Exploring these places with our pets makes unfurgettable memories.

Couple things to remember: 🐶 Always bag waste 🐶 Check the location's website for rules around pets 🐶 Have a leash handy 🐶 Practice Leave No Trace For more ideas, read about the best dog-friendly public lands. 

Spend the night under a blanket of stars at Upper Missouri Wild and Scenic River in Montana. You can camp in the same locations as the 1805 Lewis and Clark expedition on your multi-day river adventure. With 149 miles of river and several public launch points to choose from, your trip lengths may vary from one day to ten days or more. Sometimes staying "current" means listening to the sounds of a lapping river under an incredible night sky. Photo by Bob Wick, Bureau of Land Management.
