Who would have ever expected that 2020 would turn out the way it did! I can’t say that I’m sorry to see it go. But, no matter the difficulties, there have still be bright spots. My trips to Spain, Phoenix, Utah, and Peru may have been cancelled…but being stuck at home meant a chance to explore local areas that I haven’t had time for previously.
Collectively we’ve all shared this year’s challenges and it showed in the results of this year’s top posts. There was a significant increase in domestic post traffic, especially for small out of the way places such as Eureka Springs, Lindsborg, Canyon de Chelly, and the isolated ‘high road’ between Taos and Santa Fe…and an increase in demand for outdoor activities such as self guided walking tours, hiking, and camping.
I hope you enjoy this look back on the most (and least) popular posts of 2020 (plus a couple of my favorites…and an honorable mention). And may your 2021 be full of exciting, new adventures!
