Peak Adventuring in the San Juans Thursday This was our first time back to Lake City since we did our southwest Colorado roadtrip in 2020. We had big plans for the 4th, and we’d been looking forward to this weekend for months! I was especially excited to finally UTV the Alpine Loop, which had been…

Aaahh San Diego – we decided to visit here for Jared’s 30th birthday. It had been almost ten years since I’d previously visited, and Jared’s always wanted to go, so seemed like a fun weekend trip! Our plans? Lots of breweries, visiting La Jolla and doing a sea kayak tour, walking around the Gaslamp District…

I love saving the best for last. The last bite of the best part of the meal, the best beer in a flight at a brewery, and the best island within an archipelago. I think Jared and I would agree that Kauai was definitely the best island in terms of scenery and variety of things…

Maui has been amazing. We’re glad we did the Big Island, but we both feel like we don’t need to go back. We’d definitely both come back to Maui. We’ve seen rainforests, waterfalls, volcanos, wild chickens, great food trucks, fish with our snorkel gear, and more. Friday The first day in Maui was a bit…

One island down, two to go. The Big Island was a great way to start the honeymoon! (Fun fact – honeymoon is a Scandinavian term for when couple first got married, they drank mead every night for a full moon cycle.) We flew into Kona at night and the first thing we did, typical to…
Ouray – aka the Switzerland of America, is known for adventure sports in the summer and skiing in the winter. It was a beautiful town in a mountain valley, and we stayed at a campground outside of town. The first night we got there, we went to the visitor center and got information about the…

For those who don’t know, Maroon Bells is probably “the” hike people think of when Colorado is mentioned. (But who knows, I don’t live here – yet). The trailhead is located a few miles outside of Aspen. In order to access it, you can drive your car to the trailhead either before 8am or after…
: (proper noun) amazing, Adventure town, must see. The first minute we got there, it was awesome. We got to Ami’s Acres campground in the afternoon and after talking to the owner for a few minutes about which hot springs he recommended, he offered us an upgrade from our tent site to a cabin. No…
Day 1: Fort Collins. Our first city in Colorado, we stopped here for some breweries before driving to Rocky Mountain. The big letdown was that New Belgium brewery was closed, a huge, funky looking massive beer haven. Oh well, we went to another good one we had on our list – Odell’s! We split some…
We’re alive! I got lazy with blog posts oops. Utah definitely has its ups and downs. Ups include national parks like Zion and Arches, while downs include mainly the hellish heat. We stayed at Ponderosa Ranch and RV Resort for three nights, and it was really nice! They had planned activities every night. The first…
