As summer comes to its close, we scrambled for one more adventure. What better way to end the season than a 10-day road trip in the van. After flipping through photos and listening to stories, we decided to drive to Sedona, Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and the Grand Canyon. Thi...

I’ve been venturing to Moab and it’s surrounding sandcastles for the past fourteen years. Every time, I sink my toes and soul in a little deeper. As a climber, I’ve spent a lot of time scaling Moab’s cliffs, but wandering cross-country in the desert is a new way for me to see more of this wild la...

If you didn’t already know, folks in Utah are pretty passionate about their wildflowers. There are no fewer than four (FOUR!)

With a wide range or options, there's something for everyone and you’re never too far from a trailhead. Whether you’re a long-time local, new to town, or ...

Some of these spots are easy access, just off the side of the road and others require a hike to get up where the flowers are. Although I will share my favorite spots that consistently have large fields of flowers, almost any trail you take in July and August (at least half way up the canyons) wil...

The mountains around Salt Lake City are primarily known for hosting eight world-class ski resorts, but what’s good for the ski-bum goose is good for the hiking-booted gander. When the snow melts, the Wasatch Mountains surrounding the valley open up to hundreds of incredible hiking trails. From go...
