Our First 30-Day USA Road Trip: Exploring America’s Back Roads Through My Lens

Thirty days, thousands of miles, and endless memories. Our first 30-day USA road trip took us from Ohio’s waterfalls to Montana’s alpine peaks and home again—exploring small towns, scenic byways, and moments that reminded me why I fell in love with travel photography in the first place.

Exploring Hocking Hills, Ohio | Back Roads Lens Travel Blog

Looking for a getaway that blends natural beauty, hiking adventures, and a touch of history? Hocking Hills in Ohio checks all the boxes. Inspired by the story of Grandma Gatewood—the first woman to solo hike the Appalachian Trail—I set out to explore the very trails she once walked. From breathtaking waterfalls to quiet forest paths, and a relaxing stay at the Hocking Hills Lodge, this trip was the perfect blend of inspiration and escape.
