Goodbye Lucille, Hello Adventure-Mobile

*This is a long boring personal post. I apologize for the lack of adventure in advance :)* As you may have noticed, I have not been as active on the blog as usual. That’s because I’ve been adulting so hard recently! *Cue round of applause now?* So let’s start with the terrible, sad news… My […]

Cecret Lake (aka Secret Lake) [Salt Lake City Hike]

An extremely popular hike in Salt Lake is Cecret Lake (or Secret Lake) up in Little Cottonwood Canyon. If you’re looking for an easy, short but sweet hike up in our wonderful canyons– you should check out Cecret Lake.

Finding Balance in Social Media

“I am addicted to [Insert Social Media Network Here].” Or… “It’s like my phone is connected to my body.” Have you ever heard someone say this? Have you ever said this about yourself? It’s okay, most people are. I will admit that I have a little bit of an addiction to my phone. In the […]

How to Make a Super Comfy Camp Bed! [DIY Guide]

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 […]
