This is incredible! Make sure to bring water and snacks. Coming from California this elevation gain is no joke! You'll hike through the amazing Aspen trees and see a beautiful waterfall along the way. Towards the end of the hike you'll hit some pretty steep switchbacks, these wouldn't be great in the rain so be cautious. Totally worth the views at the lake!

This is a must see if you're in this part of Colorado. Between 8am-5pm you need to take the shuttle to Maroon Lake. If you go before 8am or after 5pm you can drive directly to the lake. Go early to attempt to beat the crowds and definitely do the hike to Crater Lake!! Bring your camera.

Garden of Eden is the perfect Northern California adventure! A nice hike through the lush forest, tip toeing around the railroad tracks, and ending at an awesome swimming hole. My advice is this: Don't go on a weekend if you want privacy. This is in no way a "secret spot" so you'll have people all over the beach. Try to go during the week and setup a hammock. You'll have the whole area virtually to yourself and you can swim to your hearts content.

I just did Angels Landing a few days ago. We got on the first bus (7am) from the Zion Visitors Center. We were the first few people on the hike and it was awesome. The 21 switchbacks are no joke but it's so worth it. While hiking along the ridge, pay attention and get ready for a bit of fancy footwork. There is plenty of space to comfortably get to the top but once more people show up it gets a bit hectic. Once at the top soak in the glory of this panoramic view!

I've been spending on time on Kauai since I was six years old. This island is incredibly alluring and also quite dangerous. Queens bath is stunning and can be totally rejuvenating, but be warned that many people have gotten swept out here. The surf (if high) can easily flood people in the bath and pull people out. Make sure you know what the surf report is. That being said many people tend to stop at the bath and sit with the crowds. If you keep walking down the lava rocks you will come across a thin lava tube that generally is pretty private. If you scramble down the rocks you can jump in and enjoy the ebb and flow of the water. Every time I have been here there has been at least 1 sea turtle floating calmly in the water. Be sure to respect their space and never touch them but grab a mask so you can see their amazing features. Enjoy!

Just did the bottom up portion of the Narrows last weekend. We had permit for the Top/Down but because of the road conditions we couldn't get to the trailhead. Call the ranger station to see what the road conditions are before you get to the park. We had some crazy afternoon thunderstorms roll in and flash flood warnings were a concern. We ended up catching the Zion Shuttle Bus to do the Bottom up portion of The Narrows. Most of the iconic sections of The Narrows are in the last few miles. We saw "Wall Street" which is a narrower section of the canyon and it was incredible. Go early in the morning (first bus is at 7am) to capture the morning light! Also highly recommend renting shoes from Zion Adventure Company in Springdale. The shoes are designed for this hike and are great for maneuvering over the wet rocks. The neoprene socks are surprising warm and cozy. All and all one of the most epic and truly inspiring hikes I've ever been on. Enjoy!
