Appalachian Trail Section Hike
We checked off a major bucket list item and completed our first section hike on the Appalachian Trail, and got to visit some friends along the way! Our first hiking trip in the southeastern part of the country and it was one for the books.
SHT: Crosby-Manitou State Park to Lake County 7
We went back to the SHT again last weekend for Crimson’s first birthday and explored Egge and Sonju Lakes! We upped our mileage and our little hiking dog did wonderfully. It was a beautiful hike cut short by some rain on Sunday, but well worth the trip!
SHT: Cascade River State Park to Caribou Trail
Crimson’s SHT debut is in the books! It was a great family weekend hiking through the woods with some beautiful views and an awesome campsite right on a creek!
Utah’s Mighty Five
We took on Utah’s Mighty Five for spring break this year - it was a whirlwind trip through Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and Bryce Canyon National Parks! Each park was amazing and unique in its own way, and we can’t wait to make it back again someday.
Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks
Read about Ashley’s long weekend girls trip to Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks. We got just a glimpse of these amazing parks over our four-day trip, all the more reason to make it back someday!
