As a cat, I have a deep-seated appreciation for the stunning views and dramatic landscapes of the American Southwest. In fact, one of my favorite places to explore is the Grand Canyon and Utah's five national parks. Join my human companion and me on an epic 10-day road trip itinerary as we meander through red rock pinnacles, brilliant sunsets, and deep canyons. It's time to open your cat eyes and marvel at the natural beauty that surrounds us. Let's pounce on this grand adventure together!

Greetings, fellow felines, and sunbeam enthusiasts! As a slow traveling cat, one of my favorite pastimes is exploring the amazing parks of California. In this wonderful state, the landscapes are as varied as the birds in the sky. From the big-name National Parks to the lesser-known State Parks and private campgrounds, there is so much to explore that you may have to skip your cat nap!

Exploring San Francisco's Chinatown is a cat’s dream come true. This place isn't a mere collection of streets; it's alive, filled with stories and a mix of old traditions and modern experiences. Packed to the brim with curiosities, Chinatown is filled with sights, sounds, and smells that will entertain the most jaded feline for days on end.

If anyone knows about the inside of a suitcase it's your loyal feline companion. Just ask any cat for packing advice and you will get an earful of opinions on what to include and what to leave behind. Personally speaking, this cat has spent enough time overseeing my human companion’s packing process that I have become an expert myself. And, there is no other topic that I enjoy exploring more than packing for national park adventures. Today we are going to cover what to pack for Zion National Park. This majestic destination has so much to offer! Paying close attention to your packing list is vital to experiencing this park to the fullest. So, without further adieu, we present all you need to know about packing for Zion.

As a cat, one thing I will never understand about humans is their love of hiking. Walking is how you get to your food bowl, not a thing you do for fun! So, you can imagine my concern when I learned that we would be traveling to yet another national park. Lucky for me, my human took the time to learn about things to do in Zion National Park besides hiking. From scenic drives to horseback riding to discovering petroglyphs, Zion National Park has so much more to offer than the standard hiking trails. 

As a slow-traveling cat with a penchant for getting my paws in the sand, I could not help but take some time to explore the beaches near the Los Angeles airport. All cats know that the beaches of Los Angeles are great spots for people-watching, exploring nature, and lounging in the sun. In other words, it's a cat’s dream come true! From famous Santa Monica to the lesser-known beaches of Playa Del Rey and Dockweiler, let’s explore the best beaches near LAX.

Meow there, beach enthusiasts and fire-loving felines! If you are feeling curious about a new kind of adventure, you're in for a kitty treat. This is your feline friend whiskering you away to the sandy beaches of sunny Southern California. Forget about catnip – it's time to explore the beaches with fire pits in Los Angeles!

Everyone knows that coffee is simply cat nip for humans, so, when my human and I go exploring around the country, we always dip our paws into the local coffee culture. The city of Boston (or Pawston, as I like to call it), proved to be exceptionally apt in the art of roasting coffee. As we explored the city we learned a thing or two about this town's vibrant coffee culture, as well as, discovered the best coffee roasters in Boston.
