Adventure is my escape from reality. I love hiking, biking, and photographing the outdoors. I especially love exploring my home state of Colorado.
Explore Fall River Reservoir
Idaho Springs, Colorado
4.0
1 mi
/ 144 ft gain
This spot may be a little more difficult to reach than others, but the payoff is worth it. You'll start by taking a dirt road that splits off from Fall River Road. It is pretty easy going for the first mile or so, but then you'll want to make sure you have a little higher clearance 4x4 vehicle to get over the rocks that cover the road as you get closer to the lake. I drove my 2005 Grand Cheroke...
Hike the Meadowlark Plymouth Trail
Littleton, Colorado
4.0
6 mi
/ 1197 ft gain
From the parking lot, you can take the Meadowlark trail to the west or the Plymouth Creek Trail to the southeast. It does not matter which trail you take because it ends up becoming loop.
For a more gradual slope up the hill, take the Meadowlark trail. After a little more than a mile, it intersects with Plymouth Creek to make the first short loop. The short loop is only a 495 foot climb over 2....
Catch a Sunset at Anaehoomalu Point
Waikoloa Village, Hawaii
5.0
0.5 mi
/ 20 ft gain
This beach is a great if you're looking for a more secluded beach in Waikoloa Village. Rarely are there more than ten people there even during sunset when people flock to the beach.
If you aren't staying at the Hilton next door then this spot is a little harder to access. There are two beach access parking lots: one located right off of Waikoloa Beach Rd and the other right across the street...
Photograph the Milky Way at Loveland Pass
Loveland Pass, ColoradoLoveland Pass is often very busy during the winter as people move through the pass to access the nearby ski areas and just as popular for tourists admiring the beauty of the continental divide in the summer. It is also the start of some great hiking trails like the Mount Sniktau Trail.
However, after night falls here it seems to become deserted except for the occasional semi-truck passing thro...
Cape Meares Lighthouse
Tillamook, Oregon
4.3
This historic site served as a major lighthouse for years and was turned into a scenic viewpoint offering some rad views of the Oregon Coast. The park is located only about 10 miles west of Tillamook. The parking lot has limited space so get there as early as you can.
The Cape Meares lighthouse sits about 38ft above the water and is only a 0.2 mile walk from the parking lot. While there is ...
Hike or Bike Hildebrand Ranch
Littleton, Colorado
4.0
5.1 mi
/ 324 ft gain
Hildebrand Ranch Park is often overshadowed by the other nearby Jeffco Parks, but for the few that it does attract the trails do not disappoint.
The Two Brands Trail starts at about 5600ft just off of Deer Creek Canyon Rd. It is a relatively flat trail that tops out at about 5821ft making it an overall pretty relaxed trail. The 5.1 mile loop starts at the parking lot and climbs up to and th...
Explore Wawaloli Beach
Kailua-Kona, HawaiiLocated just south of Kailua-Kona International Airport, Wawaloli Beach is a hidden gem that many tourists miss completely on the way out of the airport.
To get there just simply turn into the Natural Energy Lab on Makako Bay Dr from Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway (HI19). About a mile down the road is beach front parking and a small lot.
There are grills and picnic tables available to use. Many p...
