My Favorite Road, Trail, and Weather Apps

Posted on August 15, 2018 by Jennifer Broome • Leave a comment

On the Road: My go to apps for finding a hotel room while road tripping are HotelTonight and Booking.com. I’ll usually use go to both and compare when booking a last minute stay. I’ve booked rooms as late as 8pm or 9pm and scored anywhere from 25-75% off their normal rates. You are rolling the … Continue reading →

Where Did You Get That Bag?

Posted on July 8, 2018 by Jennifer Broome • Leave a comment

Every time I carry my Navajo blanket inspired tote I get asked where I got it. Truth be told, it’s my favorite bag ever. I use it on road trips as my electronics, blog research, and important papers bag and I carry it as my computer bag to when I head to a coffee shop … Continue reading →

Double rainbow and an iceberg….what a moment as @theboatcompany Mist Cove pulled into Sanford Cove in Endicott Arm for the night. Oh and there was a whale too!

This is not your average soaking stop. A short rug

This is not your average soaking stop. A short rugged trek on Baranof Island in Tongass National Forest leads to one of Alaska’s hottest spots.♨️🌲

I did this steamy adventure with @theboatcompany and it felt like stumbling into Alaska’s off-the-radar spa with geothermal soaking pools carved beside roaring snowmelt in the heart of the wild.

Baranof Warm Springs are raw, steamy, and unforgettable.

This is when Alaska says: earn your spa day.

My Alaska bingo card did NOT include a beaver using a waterfall as its personal shower on the edge of the sea. 🦫🌊

In Tongass National Forest, I caught my wildest wildlife moment yet with a beaver swimming in saltwater in Nelson Bay on Baranof Island, bathing beneath a waterfall, then riding the current back into the bay.

Beavers may be common in Alaska, but actually spotting one like this? Incredibly rare. Seeing it from a kayak during an early morning excursion aboard @theboatcompany Mist Cove made the moment even more surreal.

Monday morning, but make it Tongass. ☕️🌲

Woke up on @theboatcompany in Nismeni Cove off Salisbury Sound with coffee on deck, glassy water, misty peaks, and zero crowds… just the wild heart of Southeast Alaska.

No mega ships. No rush hour. Just one unforgettable way to experience the world’s largest temperate rainforest on the world’s only nonprofit cruise line.

Proof Mondays hit different off the grid.

Last stopping on project with @beefitswhatsfordinn

Last stopping on project with @beefitswhatsfordinner @oklahomabeef was @butcherbbqstand. Make sure to see the new push pin in Wellston that makes the halfway mark of Oklahoma’s 400-miles, the longest driveable stretch of the Mother Road of any state.

Head to @butcherbbqstand - dubbed best BBQ in Oklahoma. Get there early as there is ALWAYS a line Friday-Sunday at this award-winning joint featured in numerous TV shows.

OKC is about an hour away. Stay @classeninnokc for a retro stay on Route 66. Experience the cowboy culture of Stockyards City, where we grabbed dinner in a saloon. To end the night we popped over to OKC’s Film Row for dessert @peretscoffee.

Such a fun adventure and I can’t wait to share a series of stories soon!

Thanks @adeinaanderson for joining me on our crazy Springfield-OKC road trip on @route66official.

I had a ball returning to Tulsa working on a big project for @beefitswhatsfordinner @oklahomabeef. After a night in the historic @thecampbellhotel on Route 66 I got to spend time in the kitchen with Nick and Matt @nickys_smokehouse in the super cool food hall @motherroadmarket. There’s always a line, but it’s worth the wait! My fav are the phenomenal tacos.

I also got to check out Tulsa’s Route 66 “Land of the Giants” including the newest addition Rosie the Riveter before continuing west on @route66official.

If you’re driving Route 66 - book a night in Tulsa. It’s the “Capitol of Route 66” and has 28 miles of the Mother Road within its city limits.

Denver said “Hold my margarita…grab your snow boots.”🪅❄️

Snow globe mode fully activated with giant flakes dumping on Cinco de Mayo. Snow in May in Colorado isn’t unusual…but this could be biggest May snowstorm in Denver in 23 years.

We were in the 70s last weekend, getting buried in snow midweek, and heading back to the 70s this weekend. Honestly, this kind of Colorado weather roller coaster never gets old. 🥰

After the historically dry winter, we’ll gladly take the moisture. 🌨️❄️🌨️❄️🌨️❄️

Here’s more from cruising Route 66 in a U-Haul (see previous post) last week while working on stories along America’s Beef Trail for @beefitswhatsfordinner @mobeefcouncil. 🛣️

From Carthage to Joplin, Route 66 in southwest Missouri delivers peak roadside Americana. In @experiencecarthagemo my friend @adeinaanderson and I wandered the wonderfully weird world of ghost town turned art installation at Red Oak II followed by a hearty breakfast with cowboys at Iggy’s Diner, a cool eatery housed in 2 train cars.

We passed by one of America’s last working drive-ins. I’d love to see a flick at the iconic 66 Drive-In Theatre.

We took a quick detour off Route 66 to see @joplinstockyards which opened in 1930. It’s the largest cow/calf auction in the nation…and yes I climbed up on a stall for a better view.

Last stop in @visitmo was in @visitjoplinmo. Don’t miss the tile mural with a replica of a red 1964 Corvette embedded into it. For lunch we stopped @dtbjomo, a fun and busy burger shack right on Route 66. The special pimento cheese burger was amazing!🍔

It’s the kind of Route 66 day to remind you the Mother Road still has plenty of stories left….even from the front seat of an @uhaul.😂

It’s an adventure this week in Missouri! Flew into

It’s an adventure this week in Missouri! Flew into Springfield right after a big hail storm damaged every rental car at airport to throw a kink into the plan. After filming at Casper’s - Springfield’s oldest diner - for a big Route 66 project with @beefitswhatsfordinner and @mobeefcouncil had to rent a U-Haul because there were no rental cars in the city.

So off my friend @adeinaanderson and I went on Route 66 seeing a few sites in Springfield, stopping at Gary’s Gay Parita, and spent the night at Boots Court Motel in Carthage. It’s one of the oldest operating hotels on Route 66!

Off for Day 2 of this wild ride!😂

To quote The Eagles song….”Well I’m standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.”

Spending some time on Route 66 this week working on a big project for @beefitswhatsfordinner. Can’t wait to share some seriously cool spots along the Mother Road!

When you checked into a 100-year-old barn… at the world’s only Forbes 5-Star guest ranch.

The Wrangler @theranchatrockcreek is where Montana’s past meets polished luxury. Once the tack room in this 19th-century barn, now reimagined with hand-hewn beams, creaky wood floors, and a porch made for slow mornings. Inside there’s a king bed, cozy sitting area, and every luxurious Western detail done right.

It’s rugged on the outside and refined where it counts. It’s exactly how a five-star ranch should feel.

History outside, luxury inside, and views that make you sit a little longer….and wish you never have to leave.

Just a girl and her new favorite horse…meet Noble.

Just a girl and her new favorite horse…meet Noble.🐴

He’s a rescued American mustang with grit and grace. Out here @theranchatrockcreek, the world’s only Forbes 5-Star ranch, this isn’t just horseback riding, it’s luxuriously experiencing the real West.

Big Montana sky, the snow-dusted Sapphire Range in the distance, miles of open land, and trotting through the sagebrush make it truly special.

I’ve ridden quite a bit and done some phenomenal rides, but the opportunity to ride an American mustang is unforgettable.

I’m definitely a member of Noble’s fan club….and based on the snuggles at the end of the ride I think he likes me too. 🥰

Montana doesn’t ask you to slow down in the spring

Montana doesn’t ask you to slow down in the spring… the weather makes the decision for you.

It snowed all morning. Quiet, steady, and forces you to slow down whether you planned to or not. By afternoon, blue skies were back. One minute winter, the next it’s saddle up season.

April @theranchatrockcreek feels like a reset:
• chilaquiles for a late, linger-a-while breakfast
• a trail ride through a fresh dusting of white
• making new friends with Flip and Flop (and a few four-legged trail partners, too)
• guided breathwork + a sound bath with Eve that resets everything
• a Montana Distillery whiskey tasting before happy hour
• and ending the day with a French Cowboy–themed dinner by @chef.zac that topped it all

This is luxury that doesn’t try too hard. It just lets nature set the pace.

And around here… the weather always gets the last word.

POV: you came for spring… and Montana said “sit a

POV: you came for spring… and Montana said “sit a while” ❄️

Rocking on the historic barn porch @theranchatrockcreek while snow falls as winter says hold on.

Forecast? Doesn’t matter here. The weather is part of the experience.

No rush. No noise. Just a luxury guest ranch and a front-row seat to whatever the sky decides.

Spring… the Montana way.🥰

Boat day to Isla Mujeres… and the rest of the world fades away. 🌊

Turquoise water, pelicans on patrol, and a margarita the size of your head.

Yeah… this is the beach vibe. It’s a fun excursion from Cancun.

This is your sign to wake up early on vacation.🌅

Puerto Morelos at sunrise feels like a different world…
quiet water, soft light, and a sky that slowly catches fire.

No beach clubs. No crowds. Just the sound of the ocean and a front-row seat to the day beginning.

Sometimes the best part of a trip happens before everyone else wakes up.

Would you set the alarm for this?🙋‍♀️

Don’t just go to the beach…
Ride there. 🐎🌊

With @lospadresdayrides @lospadresoutfitters you start in Summerland, winding past lemon orchards, then crossed over the 101 (yes… on horseback), before dropping down to Loon Point Beach for one of the most beautiful rides I’ve ever done.

🌅Late afternoon light
🌊Waves rolling in
🐴Sound of hooves in the sand

Rode up and down the shoreline,
then headed back the same we came.

Huge shoutout to guide @shaelisalazar! Loved chatting with her along our ride.

What a way to experience the California coast in @visitsantabarbara.💗✨

Friday afternoon reset… beach bliss included. 🌊

Sneaking in a little solitude on the beach in @visitsantabarbara before the weekend energy rolls in.

Waves rolling in
Salt air, sunshine
Cliffs stretching along the coast

No schedule. No rush. Just that feeling you’ve been needing all week.

Because sometimes the best reset…is a quiet walk by the water on a Friday afternoon.
