As we set off to travel, experience, and explore the world, we invite you to tag along on this adventure of a lifetime through the Matt Unmapped travel series. However, this series is about so much more than seeing beautiful places. It’s about experiencing new cultures, expanding your horizons, and traveling responsibly.

Below, you’ll find a few of our favorite videos from the Matt Unmapped travel series. If you want to see more, you can view the entire series both on the Matt Gove Photo Website and on our YouTube channel.

Oregon Trail Nebraska: A Road Trip Back in Time

Starting in Lincoln, make your way west along the first leg of the Oregon Trail. Recharge at Fort Kearny before tackling the first two major challenges of your westward journey. You’ll see perfectly-preserved wagon ruts at both California Hill and Windlass Hill. Continue on to Ash Hollow Spring, Chimney Rock, and many more famous Oregon Trail landmarks. And can we make it Scott’s Bluff in time to catch the sunset?

Indiana Dunes: One of America’s Most Diverse and Underrated National Parks

Start your journey west on the shores of Lake Michigan exploring one of America’s newest, and also most underrated national parks. Hike the famous Mt. Baldy and see how it’s swallowing everything in its path from trees to buildings as it slowly migrates downwind. Then take in the sunshine and brilliant turquoise waters as you make your way through the park. Can you spot the Chicago skyline in the distance?
