Let's adventure!

I loved Havasupai! This was such a great experience! I would second his advice to bring water shoes! I had running shoes as well but the river is right along most of the hikes so it's really fun to have shoes like Teva's where you can just jump in at any time.

​I went into Joshua Tree without any climbing gear. Going to the Jumbo Rocks Campground you get beautiful views and it's a great way to start getting comfortable with heights. Also, it's right next to Skull Rock which is a great place for a cool photo. I loved walking along this trail and climbing the rocks!

I loved Cannon beach. I would say if you're in Oregon this is a definite must do. The town surrounding this area is really nice and there are a ton of little shops to go see. Also, the free guides at the beach help people learn about the animals and fish in the area and can help you identify creatures in the tide pools! If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly, free place to go visit, this is it. This is also dog-friendly and it can be a great place for your pup to run around and have some fun!
