Backyard Utah hikes
Basically in our backyard anyway. Just a short drive up
Another trip to The Big Easy! A fun couple of days of relaxing, eating, and taking in the sights of New Orleans. We flew in on a Wednesday afternoon and checked into the J.W. Marriott right on Canal Street across …
Another annual Moab Fondo trip is in the books, as usual… what a fun weekend! Every year I look forward to this fun weekend of bikes and buds and this year did not disappoint. I headed down to Moab a …
Not our typical style of vacation. Going on a cruise has never been on any of our travel to-do lists and it’s never been something we’ve even thought about doing! But, of course, we’re always up for trying anything and …
VEGAS! Winter has been ok around Utah, we’ve been skiing quite a few times this year and enjoying it. We have a cruise vacation coming up in March, but, we’re feeling antsy for a getaway so we booked a quick …
We finally made it to this middle-of-nowhere place, Leslie Gulch. I’ve wanted to check it out for quite a while, but it’s in an odd spot outside of Boise, Idaho, and it’s not on the way to anything – except …
One of our favorite things to do is travel and eat. So, every year for our birthdays, we take each other on a birthday trip. In January of 2022, I took Nina to San Francisco and we had a great …
The best time of year to ride the Crest Trail is definitely the fall! Cooler temps and gorgeous views from top to bottom. It’s hard not to stop over and over to grab another photo. I wish I’d brought my …
Basically in our backyard anyway. Just a short drive up the road from home is Butterfield Canyon. Hadn’t done any hiking over here before, but wanted to get out on a short hike to see these fall colors with Luna …
The Wasatch Crest Trail is a favorite far and wide. Definitely a local fav, but I’ve met people from all over the country and the world who have come to Utah to ride MTB and the Crest Trail. It’s epic! …
Nina’s friend came to visit us from Thailand for a month and when we asked her what she wanted to see in the U.S.A., she said Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Bryce Canyon. So we made some plans to do …
“Venice, the city of love.” So they say. More like “City of Tourists.” The history of Venice is interesting enough, but overall, we really didn’t like Venice much at all! We wished we would have used that 36 hours up …
