    (This post is the last adventure of my Labor Day Weekend trip. Click the links for our other explorations at Kannaraville Falls, Zebra Slot Canyon, and Calf Creek Falls!)  For the last part of our Labor Day adventures, we stayed in Springdale, UT, which is right outside Zion National Park.

  • Long Weekend in Utah [Wannee’s Visit to Salt Lake City]

    Long Weekend in Utah [Wannee’s Visit to Salt Lake City]

    Recently, I’ve been very backlogged when it comes to editing photos and blogging. I’ve had several sessions, a few small adventures, and some schedule changes that have contributed to me being so far behind. So here it goes… Wannee’s visit to Utah (which happened a month ago… Oops)! Day 1: Hike the Wasatch It’s rare […]

  • Girls’ Day Trip to Ogden

    Girls’ Day Trip to Ogden

    After living in Salt Lake for over three years, I have never visited Ogden. I’ve driven past for a visit to Pineview Reservoir in Ogden Canyon, but never have I stopped and explored downtown Ogden.

  • Salt Lake City [Guide]

    Salt Lake City [Guide]

    As I mentioned previously, one of my best friends is moving out to Salt Lake! I felt like it was time gather my previous posts about the area for her to get excited and some ideas for her own time here. I’d like to update this post as I post more Salt Lake area-specific posts, […]

  • Moab Anniversary: 4×4 Tour & Arches National Park

    As I mentioned in my previous post, after returning from my work trip in Tucson, we drove down to Moab for a day to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Moab is only about 3.5 hours from Salt Lake, which makes it a great spot for a quick trip away from the city into the land […]

  • Snowshoeing at Solitude Resort

    Snowshoeing at Solitude Resort

    In the winter, the outdoors can be a little less inviting at below freezing temperatures, and like most Utahns, I tend to curl up at home with some hot tea and a blanket. The winter is for hibernation, right? I like to try not to be a homebody, and when I am being active and […]

  • Clayton Peak via Guardsman Pass [Salt Lake City Hike]

    Clayton Peak via Guardsman Pass [Salt Lake City Hike]

    One of the best views in the Wasatch in my opinion is the view from Clayton Peak (also known as Mount Majestic) at 10,720 feet. The view from the peak offers a panoramic view of the Brighton Lakes area, the Wasatch Mountains, the Uinta Mountains, Heber Valley, and Mount Timpanogos. It’s breath-taking, and an relatively […]
