Lake Blanche [Hike]
Lake Blanche, we meet again. Finally! Let me provide a little backstory… Last summer, my first summer in Salt Lake City, I was still pretty new to the area and hiking (let’s be honest, Florida doesn’t have many hiking opportunities). I had heard the locals talk about this Lake Blanche hike as a favorite, and […]

Arches National Park
On Saturday, we woke up to the Amphitheater of Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s quite the view from Bryce Point in the morning. All of the research I did said that the best place for sunrise was not at Sunrise Point (odd, right?), but at Bryce Point. Erica and I were a little […]

Face Your Fears on Angel’s Landing [Zion National Park]
This weekend was a marathon of epic adventures. Erica came for a visit to Salt Lake, and I was determined to show her why Utah is awesome! She wanted to experience mountains, canyons, trees, red rocks, and adventure time. On Thursday, we went skiing/snowboarding. I finally made it down my first green run (not the […]

I Love Queenstown!
June 1, 2013 Queenstown has definitely been my favorite city that we’ve visited so far. I love the city feel with the mountains and nature activities incorporated into their lifestyle! The Remarkable mountain range which is the scene that Queenstown is frequently pictured with is truly remarkable. People come here for an adrenaline rush and […]

Rainy Routeburn
May 31, 2013 Yesterday was an exciting and very wet day! Our itinerary had us hiking the Routeburn Track for pretty much the whole day. The Routeburn is one of the 9 Great Tracks (or trails) in NZ. It’s 32km (about 20 miles) long… I’m not sure how many miles that is though. The guide […]

Our Journey to Queenstown
May 30, 2013 Today was another long day of travel with many stops along the way. We woke up at 5:30am. I know that I can easily wake up at just about any time of the morning, but it definitely doesn’t get easier! We were on the road by about 6am. Since it was still […]

Hiking Fox Glacier and Lake Matheson
May 29, 2013 Guess what! Today I hiked a glacier. Fox Glacier, to be specific. I also did a sunrise hike at Lake Matheson, which is a reflective lake. Let me start from the beginning of the day because our day was very jam-packed! We woke up at 6:30am and piled on the layers to […]

What Was the Mushroom’s Pickup Line at the Bar?… I’m a Fun Guy!
May 26, 2013 Well, today marks the halfway mark of our trip. We are 12 days in. I can’t decide if I have felt like the days have gone by really quickly or slowly. For the most part, our days are quick and by the end of the day I’m exhausted. We traveled from Motueka […]

Hiking and Kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park
May 25, 2013 This was a great day! We got up early and headed over to the Abel Tasman Park. We split into two groups and half of us went kayaking while the others hiked to the beach where we kayaked to. After lunch, we switched places. It was a perfect day: the weather was […]
