It is located along the west coast of the northern lower peninsula. The park has approximately 5,300 acres and miles of sandy shore line. On a clear day the view is endless for the Big Sable Point Lighthouse which is also located within park.We were introduced to the park by friends 12 years ago and have continued to return each year. We have always found new adventures and the park has never lost its appeal. With hiking trails, sand dunes fishing and endless shoreline there is always something to enjoy.

We saw a side road off Highway 191, so we decided to take a look. About a mile down this dirt road, we found a lovely little area in the trees. Other than a few other explorers riding by on their ATV/UTV's, we had the forest to ourselves!

It was the best birthday ever from nature! We had sunny blue skies and spectacular scenery all the way down the Icefields Highway from Banff to Jasper, Alberta on April 2nd.

#309 - Dennis and Jeanne TrubyBayfield, Nova Scotia2016 Chevrolet 3500HD2014 Lance 825Camera Used - PixelOn our two week trip to Nova Scotia and PEI we were always looking for interesting places to spend the night. We drove to the Bayfield Pier and thought we would spend the night there. We went for a short drive after dinner and saw an unmarked two track heading north.We are always up for an adventure, so took the road and after about 1/4 mile the road opened up on a rocky beach with an amazing view of the Northumberland Strait. What a treat to watch the sunset on one end of the beach and sunrise on the other! We were up early to see the sun peak out. There is nothing like a truck camper for exploring and finding out of the way places to camp. It was one of our favorite nights on the trip.

Hanging out mostly on the coast we found ourselves on and around lots of different beaches. This was one of a few beaches that allowed motor vehicles, but sadly no camping. We parked on the beach where we made coffee and breakfast and watched a group of surf fishers.

#317 - Brent KoopsBighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Wyoming2016 Chevy Silverado2016 Four Wheel Camper HawkCamera Used - Canon 7D Mark IIThe Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area was a hidden gem of Wyoming. There was a quiet campground tucked alongside a lake, nestled against the canyon walls, and miles of desolate back roads to explore. This picture was taken as we traveled along Sykes Ridge in search of the elusive Prior Mountain wild horses. While the road is not for the faint of heart and is definitely slow going, it makes for a memorable drive.

#318 - Brent KoopsGrand Tetons, Wyoming2016 Chevy Silverado2016 Four Wheel Camper HawkCamera Used - Canon 7D Mark IIWe were camping in the Grand Tetons mid-September, and unfortunately it was so cloudy and rainy, most days we couldn’t even see the mountain range. One day we were driving and finally got a glimpse of the majestic mountains. With the lifting clouds, we felt the colors of early fall were perfect to pull over and grab a picture with the camper.

#324 - Richard MountBLM land near Capital Reef National Park, Utah2013 Ford F1502013 FWC GrandbyCamera Used - Sony Xperia phoneIt was our first time in Utah, and first time on BLM lands, but it won't be our last for either of those. We were traveling from Ontario, Canada to California for a visit with family. Not only was it a beautiful place to camp but a memorable occasion. The next day, as we drove into Arizona I completed a quest to drive in all 50 states. I had covered all ten provinces and most states many years ago, but Colorado, Utah and Arizona had eluded me until this trip. Now I have to work on the goal of visiting all vehicle accessible National Parks in Canada and the USA.

#325 - Dennis and Jeanne TrubyMeat Cove, Nova Scotia2016 Chevrolet 3500HD2014 Lance 825Camera Used - PixelOn our trip to Nova Scotia and the Cabot Trail, we wanted to see Meat Cove. I never thought we would get a spot at the campground. The check engine light went on just as we started Cabot Trail. It was several hours back to a dealer and the truck seemed to be running fine so we pushed forward. The trail was beautiful. We turned off for the 10K drive on the gravel road to Meat Cove. We arrived about 2pm and they had two sites left - one that would work for our truck camper! It was such a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise over the ocean. We will remember that experience for a long time! Oh, and the check engine light was diagnosed the next day as an issue that could be fixed after our return home.

#326 - Kevin GagnonCooke City, Montana2013 Ford F1502002 Lance Lite 815Camera Used - Olympus SZ-12My ten year old daughter, Brooke, made our family eligible for the National Park Service free pass for fourth grade graduates. After many great stops along the way from New Hampshire, we stopped at Thunder Basin Ford in Gillette, Wyoming for an oil change. There we met a good man named Troy who is an Engineer for General Electric, and was also waiting for his Ford truck to be serviced. He suggested a special northern route for us to enter Yellowstone National Park. We arrived in Cooke City, Montana late and I asked Brooke to pick a place to eat. She picked The Bistro. When Brooke, Jake, and I were done we asked the counter person for advice on an economical camp site. We ended up entering this spot well after sunset and encountered our first Bison with headlights on! My kids and I were able to watch the Bison for quite a while before camping in the beautiful location in our photo.

#340 - Roch NadonQuill Creek, Yukon, Canada2007 Toyota Tundra2007 Okanagan 89WSCamera Used - Fuji XPWe hiked the Auriol Trail during the day in the Kluane National Park, in the Yukon on October 7th. We started the trail in the afternoon. It was a rainy morning. It was a greyish day until the sun broke out the clouds at the end of the trail. With the hike done, we decided to boondock beside the Quill Creek close to the park’s boundary. You can see the mountains in the background of the picture. They are located in the park.It was a great place with a beautiful view of the landscape. The picture was shot half an hour before the sun went behind these summits. It was quiet, peaceful and I can assure you that we slept very well and tight that night with the help of the sound of the water running down the creek. Cheers!

#352 - Guttormur Björn ThorarinssonNear Lamdmannalaugar, Iceland2003 GMC 35001995/1996 Alaskan CamperCamera Used - iPhone 5sThis area is named Fjallabak or behind mountain. It's kind of never ending exploring area. Time and time again it surprises me. We were camping in Landmannalaugar, and took a drive when the sun started shining on Litli and Stóri Kylingur and Kirkjufell. Just a magical moment.

#353 - Guttormur Björn ThorarinssonThe path is between Sprengisandsvegur and Nyidalur, Iceland2003 GMC 35001995/1996 Alaskan CamperCamera Used - iPhone 5sIf you look at the map of Iceland, this is the highland between Hofsjökull and Vatnajökull. It is the largest black desert in Europe. It is always a challenge to cross Iceland. Summertime is your best bet. My wife and I were really lucky and drove across Sprengisandur during last year's summer.The name Sprengisandur is difficult to translate, as it refers to the old time travel method on horses. For many travelers it was a race to reach from the last green grass to the next green grass across the highland. Therefore, stamina is a major factor, otherwise your horses collapses. So the direct translation would be; the collapse desert. Due to weather we decided to camp on this lonely path and experience the quiet desert. Thvermodur, the mountain in the background, is close to Nyidalur. That is a oasis in this desert.

Shortly after taking this picture we decided to move camp to lower ground since the storm was going to last another 24 hours. Once we relocated to lower ground we attempted to raise the tops on the campers and couldn’t due to the heavy weight of the snow on the roofs. We had to climb up on the roofs and shovel the snow off to raise them back up.

All these big rigs and me with my little Capri, my dirt bikes, and my standard poodle. We were heading up to Wisconsin for the summer. A lot of those drivers would stop to ask me about my rig and what my story was. It seems like my multi-color Capri and its shiny chrome top just draws those truckers in!

#366 - Angie ScottAlabama Hills, California2014 Chevy Silverado 35002016 Northern Lite 8-11 Q SECamera Used - Nikon D7100On our way home from my parents place we decided to detour and check out one of TCM's bucket list destinations, Alabama Hills. In the town of Lone Pine, we went to the visitor center to get a map. While talking to a ranger we learned that it was the Western Film Festival weekend. Alabama Hills is where many old time westerns, as well as recent movies, have been filmed. Yikes, there are going to be thousands of people there! She told us to keep driving up Movie Road until we got out of the highlighted area on the map, to get to solitude. Okay, we will give it a try.We did experience many people along the first part of Movie Road and the many roads branching off from it. A little further on there were fewer people and cars. It was looking more like the Alabama Hills I had been imagining. We found a spot down a small road and camped for the night. It was so awesome and so beautiful; the rocks, geology, the night sky, very peaceful and quiet, more than what I had expected for my first Alabama Hills jaunt!

The next morning we woke to clearing skies, amazing cloud effects and sunshine, with beautiful mirror-smooth reflections on the water.

This is a very remote, dark area well suited to night photography; outstanding scenery in the daytime, too. The image was made late at night after everyone had gone to bed.

There was once a fire lookout here, but there is little evidence left. There are nice views of the Wallowa Mountains and the sunset. The next day we drove east to the wilderness boundary for a hike up Eagle Creek.

We spent two nights here in order to have a full day to hike into the canyon and explore its amazing rock art. We drove in on the 30-mile graded dirt road under clear conditions, although there are more difficult routes available.

Also, with it being a pop-up, I had much more stability on the windy 15-mile dirt road to our destination.

We live in Moyock, North Carolina, so it’s a nice getaway to booze cruise our bikes and relax at Teeter’s Campground. I picked up this old truck camper from my buddy and have been slowly cleaning it up. My wife does the decorating and I do everything else. This photo was taken as we were ending our weekend and waiting for the ferry to take us back to the mainland.

Looking at the map, I discovered dirt roads winding through Jordan Valley, all BLM land. We chose a road and drove down it about three miles. Right where we stopped I noticed a sign,

We usually avoid roads with covered bridges, but couldn’t resist driving through this one in Saint Martins, New Brunswick.

In the town of Lone Pine, we went to the visitor center to get a map. While talking to a ranger we learned that it was the Western Film Festival weekend. Alabama Hills is where many old time, as well as recent movies have been filmed. Yikes, there are going to be thousands of people there! She told us to keep driving up Movie road until out of the highlighted area on the map to get to solitude. Ok, we will give it a try.We did experience many people along the first part of Movie road and the many roads branching off, day trippers and camping folk. A little further on, there were fewer cars and people; it was looking like the Alabama Hills I had been imagining, the geology, the rocks, the beauty!We found a spot down a small road which had an outstanding view of the valley stretching long and wide, and Mt. Whitney, looking very large. The next morning, we woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee, our coats and headed outside. The moon and stars were stunning! Looking over at Mt. Whitney, we could see specks of light every so often at the bottom portion of the mountain. It was hikers using flashlights, getting an early morning start on their climb to the top. What a way to start the day, glad I was where I was!

We decided to take the Enchanted Highway which has numerous works of art such as the one in the picture. It is worth seeing if you are in the area and is approximately 30 miles long. To get to it, take Exit 72 off I-94 and head south to enjoy.
