One of the golden rules of hiking is the earlier the start the better and once again (like last weeks post) this rule rings true. Hanging Lake is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and serene places I have ever visited. I know I've said this before...but trust me this one is up there. It's … Continue reading Hanging Lake
Recently, I took a week off work and hopped in an RV with my parents and my 3 siblings and embarked on a 5-day long road trip that would span 1300 miles. There were ups, there were downs, and there were moments where I was grasping for sanity. However, I got the chance to visit … Continue reading Zion National Park
My mother and youngest brother recently came to visit for their spring break. They flew in on a Friday so I took the following Monday and Tuesday off to enjoy a long weekend with them. This is what we did and what you could squeeze in if you have 5 days to sightsee. Friday: I … Continue reading 5 days in Colorado

However, I'm still glad I went. The hike is about a 5-mile loop that … Continue reading Night Bird Gulch
Arches National Park has been on my bucket list for a LONG time and I finally checked it off! I took Thursday and Friday off the week my mom visited (my first official day(s) off!) and we drove the 6 hours to Moab, Utah. Arches National Park simply doesn't seem real. The whole time I … Continue reading Arches National Park
I'm coming up on 10 weeks of #ColoradoLife and so far my favorite thing about Colorado is the nature. Wow. It's truly a change of scenery from Georgia and I am soaking up every minute of it while I am here. I was attempting to look up hikes that would give me the biggest payoff … Continue reading St. Mary’s Glacier
Hey everyone! This is a series I am starting where I talk about things I am doing in and around Denver. For my first 'Denver thing' I am talking about a hike. The trailhead ("Mt. Falcon West Parking Lot") was about a 40 minute drive from my apartment so from anywhere in the Denver area … Continue reading Denver things: Mt. Falcon
