After living in Washington, D.C. for a decade, Sarah Hubbart hit the road with her husband Ben and their French bulldog Hobbes. Now they explore the country as full-time RVers. Sarah is a small town girl at heart, and loves highlighting the hidden gems they find during their travels at wanderingroadblog.com. Sarah, Ben and Hobbes travel in a 2018 Thor Chateau.

Window to the World Location:
Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s South Unit, near Medora, North Dakota. We visited this spot during a fall road trip across the Dakotas, including other magical places like Badlands National Park, Custer State Park and Deadwood.

Why do you like it here?
Let’s be real. You don’t just accidentally find yourself in North Dakota. That’s part of Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s charm, you have to seek it out. And for the effort, you are rewarded richly with beautiful views, funny little prairie dogs and a ton of backstory about Teddy Roosevelt. For instance, did you know this is the only national park named after a person? Even though we visited the South Unit, which is technically the busiest section of the park, we only saw a handful of other cars on the road.
Who’s your favorite travel buddy?
Our Frenchie, Hobbes, is the ultimate road trip companion. Give him the wide open road, a blanket to curl up on while riding shotgun, and a few snacks and he’s good to go.
What’s your favorite part about this view?
A couple days prior to this photo, we had to reroute the Chateau to avoid an early snowstorm that hit the Dakotas. By the time we made it to the Buffalo Gap Campground and and started exploring the national park, the storm was over and there was a beautiful dusting of snow covering the canyon. This photo reminds me that while RVing, just as in life, best laid plans can go awry and sometimes that’s a great thing.
How do you decide where to go next?
Ben and I like small towns with a big personalities. We prioritize visiting places that are a bit off the beaten path. Some of our favorites from the past year include Yachats, Oregon; Custer, South Dakota; and Terlingua, Texas.
Who do you wish you could share this view with?
We LOVE sharing our RV adventures with our friends and family. In fact, that’s why we chose The Chateau––the loft makes a great guest room.
