Road Trip Across America on The Great Northern Route 2

Mission Mountain almost defeated our Jeep Gladiator at the beginning of our Idaho overlanding adventure after our 2500 mile journey just to get there. We traveled out on Highway 2, also known as "The Highline," and loved every minute of the kitschy attractions, amazing food, beautiful farmland, stunning mountains, and crazy wildlife (even though the wildlife didn't seem to care for us). We even braved those crazy I Da Hoes.

We never expected that stopping in Idaho would almost end our 8000 mile overlanding adventure road trip!

If you are interested in wanting to adventure more, the best way to begin is to do a little research, and get out there with what you have. There are plenty of amazing places across this continent that you can go with any vehicle! We started out with a 1998 VW Beetle that was held together with Duck Tape and love, a ten year old leaky tent, and a lot of determination.

Get out there, adventure, and have fun!
