Lily Lake and An Attempt at Jurassic Park (Estes Park, CO)

In the Moab post, I mentioned that I’ve recently started rock climbing to share in my boyfriend’s hobby. He’s addicted to it, and for his birthday I renewed his climbing gym membership and got me one too. Goodbye paycheck. But it’s so much fun!! My muscles hurt in ways they never have with yoga, running, dancing, soccer, or anything else I’ve attempted for exercise! However, he is not an indoor climber. He loves hiking up to giant cliff faces and staring at rock walls for a while. I’m slowly starting to be able to see what he sees, though it’s still funny to watch him scamper around pointing at stones.

Starting the New Year Off Right (Moab, UT)

Wandered: New Years Eve 2016

It may be a little belated, but Happy 2017 Wanderers! I got to celebrate the new year in a new place for me, which automatically makes this year awesome.

It’s been on my bucket list to go visit Moab and see why everyone is in love with the desert. So for the holiday, the boyfriend and I headed west to go explore. He has been there before, but was more than happy to have an excuse to go back. We went with the purpose to go climbing since he’s big into that hobby and trying to introduce me to as many different kinds as possible.

Joys, Trials, and Things to Consider when Hiking with the Dog

As the days get warmer and you’re itching to get outside, don’t forget about your loyal furry friend who enjoys the outside too! Adventuring with your canine counterpart is not only entertaining for you but also great enrichment for them too. Hiking is a super easy way to spend time together, something our four legged pals can’t seem to get enough of. If you do plan on taking your dog with you, please take a moment to consider what all that means first. If you do, you’ll never want to go adventuring without them, and they probably wouldn’t let you once they find out how fun it is!

Goldbug (Elk Bend) Hot Springs (Salmon, ID)

Adventured: 9 June 2015

While I was interning at Yellowstone Bear World this summer I was only able to get one day off a week. I decided to make the best of those days and explore the beautiful state of Idaho and all the things it had to offer. I had done research on various sites (Check out www.rexburgfun.com if you’re in that area!) to try and plan out my trips and not waste a minute of that day off. My first trip was to Goldbug Hot Springs, which is also known as Elk Bend Hot Springs due to the fact that it’s technically in Elk Bend, ID and not Salmon. Elk Bend is such a tiny place that Salmon is an easier geographical marker.  Continue reading “Goldbug (Elk Bend) Hot Springs (Salmon, ID)”
