Here is the trip/adventure we took last summer. I am a new member of Expedition Portal so this is not a new trip we took.
I took video to document the entire trip and embedded pics in the videos.

We started in Box Elder, South Dakota, our town. Traveled to Great Falls, Montana for a night, then onto Glacier National Park. We stayed in St. Mary's in Glacier for 4 days. We then traveled to Yellowstone National Park and stayed in West Yellowstone for 4 days. Our last leg of the trip we decided to check out some city life. We traveled to Salt Lake City and stayed there for 3 days and visited Bonneville Salt Flats and a few "city living places"

Total trip was 3,050 miles, yes we towed a popup camper so it was not technically an expedition trip, but that is as enough as my family of 4 will do. My Jeep is set up for expeditions though with all the electrical inside and mods outside.

Here is the link to the videos of the trip, they are in a YouTube playlist.

Here is the popup that we tow

2015 Jayco Sports Series 12UD, weighs in at 2,500 lbs fully loaded. Fits our family nicely though it is not an off-road camper. Only mods I have done to it is put a fishing rod tube on the rear and change out interior and exterior lights to LED
