While I wouldn’t say it’s the best hike in Colorado, Devils Backbone in Loveland is a nice way to do a little hiking without straying too far from a city. It’s not to be confused with the Hell’s Backbone drive in Utah. This hike is easy, conveniently located, and has a good view of the surrounding area. Whether you are looking for a nice after work walk or a quick stop on your way through town, this is a good option.

While it may look like a tough, long hike from afar, it really only takes about an hour to get to the top, rewarding you with 360-degree views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the surrounding area. So, basically, this is totally worth it. It’s one of the iconic hikes on Oahu.

If that title doesn’t confuse you, cool. If it does, here’s what I mean. Lower Muley Twist is like, a 15-mile hike in Capitol Reef National Park. The trailhead is at the top of the Burr Trail switchbacks and the end is at the bottom at least a mile away. We started at the trailhead, at the top (upper, get it?) and went in from … Continue reading Upper Lower Muley Twist Adventures
If you haven’t noticed, lately I’ve been going through pictures from old trips. And I mean old, like high school old. I didn’t think I had my pictures from the last trip to Hawaii with me in Utah, but I do! So, I went through them and picked out the best to share with you here. And let me tell you, there were some pretty bad ones. I’m talking harsh angles and a lot of blur. Talk about high quality.

Ok, this isn’t literally just pictures of New York, but don’t expect anything helpful from this. If you’re looking for something informative, head elsewhere. You won’t find it here.

I drove past Potash Road in Moab so many times and had no idea what was down there. Then I saw a picture of Corona Arch and found out that was down Potash road then had to go, but what else is there?

The first time I went to Island in the Sky in Canyonlands, I knew I liked it, but what I didn’t know was that I missed a whole lot of it. I also learned that I like Island in the Sky a lot more than The Needles.

Corona Arch is an awesome, easy hike near Moab, Utah. It’s the perfect way to spend a few extra hours and get a little hiking in when you’re visiting Moab.
The trailhead for Corona Arch is about ten miles down Potash Road, which is just after the entrance to Arches National Park. Along Potash Road, you can also see petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, rock climbers (most likely,) and Jug Handle Arch.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is a little slice of sandy paradise not too far from Kanab, Utah.
It’s the perfect stop if you’re passing through Kanab on your way to or from Zion National Park or as a fun stop on a weekend getaway in southern Utah.
You can either climb the dunes or, if you’re an off-road enthusiast, you can drive your off-highway vehicle there! Just remember, if you’re hiking, keep an eye out for vehicles and if you’re on a vehicle, watch out for hikers!

Last year I got the National Geographic Secrets of the National Parks book. I didn’t really look through it until I was home recently. When I was looking through it to get ready for our trip to Zion, I saw a hike I hadn’t heard of before. That hike was Hidden Canyon. Once I read about it, I knew I needed to do it.
