This week, I’m going to share with you one of my all-time favorite trails in Canyonlands National Park. While Elephant Hill and Chesler Park is my first choice for “best,” the Peek-a-boo Trail (also in the Needles District) comes in…
Sneak Peak: The Rest of the Trip! (SLC, Sawtooths, Utah, Loveland Pass)
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my trip to Yellowstone National Park. While I was out there, I decided to tack on a couple of extra weeks to explore new places. In this post, I’ll tell you what…
A Nice Little Hike to Lewis Lake
If you need a short, easy hike in southern Yellowstone – but you’d also like a nice view – check out the Lewis River Channel Trail to the lakeshore of Lewis Lake. It’s only 2.8 miles round trip with minimal…
Wildhorse Window & Lower Wildhorse Canyon
There’s no trail to Wildhorse Window in Utah’s San Rafael Swell. But it’s also not that difficult to find. If you follow the social trail/cairns/logic up to the arch, you’ll be treated to an alcove with a large hole in…
Canyon Vista Trail & Cold Run Trail – Waterfalls, Views, and More!
If you’re looking for a nice, long hike in northern Pennsylvania, I highly recommend the Canyon Run Trail in World’s End State Park (with the added loop of the Cold Run Trail). It’s mostly a forested hike with a few…
The Maze Overlooks: Millard Canyon, Bagpipe Butte, and Flint Trail
There are three official overlooks along NP-633, the road between Hans Flat and the Flint Trail in the Maze District of Canyonlands National Park. (If you want to know more about NP-633, be sure to check out this post.) If…
Long Point – Great Views of New River Gorge!
If you only have time for one hike in New River Gorge National Park, I’d recommend that it be Long Point. Better than the Endless Wall Trail, better than Sandstone Falls, Long Point offers spectacular views of the New River…
Longbow Arch near Moab
There are so many free and fun trails around Moab, Utah. Trails that are often overlooked because they’re not in the national parks. Some of these (like Corona Arch) are becoming fairly popular in their own right, but others take…
Kayaking Honeoye Creek: Rush to the Genesee River
One summer day, a group of us decided to take a kayak trip on Honeoye Creek. I wrote in a previous post about starting at Golah Road and paddling up to I-390 and back. This time, we decided to leave…
1 Day, 3 Day, and 7 Day Hiking Interaries for Anza-Borrego Desert State Park!
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern California is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. It offers desert scenery (understandable, given the park’s name!) as well as some fun and interesting hiking experiences. While the area is popular, it’s not…
