The BVEs are a group of friends who love nature, enjoy challenges and like to travel. It started by accident in 1998 when Peggy was telling some friends about her experience hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Next thing you know, she was planning another trip down the canyon. That trip was so great, a second trip was planned for two years later. It was during that trip we became the BVEs and the rest is history. We travel each even numbered year to a National Park. Over the years our friendship has grown strong and our memories many.
We started taking trips in 1998 and have taken 13 trips visiting 17 US National Parks and 1 Canadian Park to date. Click below to see details of all of our trips.
