Hiya! Welcome to Hytreks.com, the digital home for the travels of Kristy, Ben and Owen Hymans.
In June 2020 we downsized from our townhome in Minnesota to a 30-foot RV travel trailer and set out to explore America’s national parks as a family. We finished our travels in November 2021. This site preserves the stories, photographs, and recommendations from that adventure.
Ben wrote the stories on this blog. The trip is complete and we are no longer adding new posts regularly, but the archive remains here for anyone planning a trip or enjoying the journey with us. Browse the Blog Index to explore the full collection.
