Hi there, I’m Ash!
I AM A FORMER PARK RANGER WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE NATIONAL PARKS
I like to have a plan {just like you!} and I know preparing for a big trip can be overwhelming.
You are not alone.
Let me show you how to see the best sights and create amazing memories that your family will never forget!
YOUR VACATION IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE TIME
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE VISIT THE NATIONAL PARKS EACH YEAR, AND ITS GETTING CROWDED!
You need a plan for sightseeing in the national parks, and you have come to the right place.
Without a plan, you can expect to be sitting in traffic for hours, circling around trying to find a parking spot, and missing out on some of the best sights. That’s a good way to ruin your vacation.
But your trip doesn’t have to be like that! Take a Dirt In My Shoes Itinerary with you, and you’ll be equipped with a phenomenal plan that will help you avoid the crowds and see the best sights.
Each itinerary includes:
Day-by-Day Schedule
Hour-by-Hour Instructions
Special Tips and Tricks
“This itinerary made it so easy to plan our trip! We just showed up and followed your directions. We hit all the major sights–I didn’t feel like we missed a thing!
My family thought I was a rock star, but the credit goes to you!”
