🌄 Welcome to Backroad Adventures

Hey there, and welcome to Backroad Adventures — I’m so glad you’re here!'

I’m Michelle — the traveler, storyteller, and creator behind Backroad Adventures. This space was built for anyone who loves exploring the outdoors, discovering hidden gems, and taking the scenic route.

Here on the blog, you’ll find stories from my travel adventures across Arizona and beyond — from hiking desert trails and chasing waterfalls to exploring small towns and backroads that don’t always make the map. Every trip has a story, and my goal is to help you find inspiration for your own.

Alongside my stories, you’ll find links to my YouTube channel, where I share travel videos that bring each adventure to life, plus travel planning resources and digital products to help you create your own unforgettable journeys. I’ve also designed a collection of art and wearables inspired by the places I’ve explored — perfect for anyone who loves to carry a little piece of adventure wherever they go.

Whether you’re here to plan your next trip, get inspired to hit the road, or simply enjoy the view, I hope Backroad Adventures reminds you that every journey — big or small — has its own kind of magic.

So take your time, explore a little, and maybe you’ll find the spark for your next great adventure.

Let’s take the backroads together. 🌿

— Michelle
