    6 Months into Marriage & Life Updates [Newlywed 101]

    Happy Fall, ya’ll!  Well, I guess fall is mostly over, but still look at those colors! I’ve been quiet on here recently- I’ve been super busy with photography and doctor’s appointments… Two weeks ago, I sliced my tendon on my left index finger. Two stitches, 3 doctors visits (so far), and 2 splints later… I’ll […]

  • Oktoberfest at Snowbird

    Oktoberfest at Snowbird

    Fall is here(ish) and I am stoked! This weekend, I went to the Oktoberfest event at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort for the first time. I’ve been in Salt Lake for almost three years but I’ve never been to this event, despite hearing lots of good things from locals and friends. —————————————? ————————————— Event Details […]

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

    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. Beware that due to its “easy” nature, it also is one of the most trafficked hikes […]

  • 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 […]

  • 11 Things I’ve Learned About Salt Lake City

    11 Things I’ve Learned About Salt Lake City

    I was a little nervous, because I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea what was in Utah. I did some research online before I left, and I had one visit with my dad before I drove out with my sister across the country. I was shocked at the beauty of my […]

  • Red Pine Lake [Hike]

    Red Pine Lake [Hike]

    When I pick hikes, I typically look for alpine lakes, epic views for days, and a peak to bag. Red Pine Lake checked all of those boxes. While I didn’t bag Pfeifferhorn in the Wasatch front, it’s back on my bucket list, saved for another day. I was treated to some amazing views from the […]

  • Camping near Cascade Springs [Utah]

    Camping near Cascade Springs [Utah]

    Getting There and Finding a Campsite I had originally planned on camping in one of the campgrounds in Alpine Loop (Timpanooke or Granite Flat), but I neglected to make a reservation before the online systems closed. Brighton and I were a little slow going that morning- We had to gather our camping boxes and other […]

  • Devil’s Kitchen

    Devil’s Kitchen

    If you’re looking for a low-key adventure (read: lazy) on a spring afternoon (like we were), I’ve got the perfect adventure for you. Devil’s Kitchen is a rock formation that’s been named a Mini Bryce Canyon, and it’s only 1.5 hours from Salt Lake City (instead of the 4.5 that Bryce Canyon is from SLC!). […]

  • Lantern Fest

    Lantern Fest

    This weekend, Brighton and I participated in the Lantern Fest. The premise of the event is that each participant can light their own lantern and set it off at the same time of thousands of lanterns.   History of Lantern Release (Source) The origin of the lantern festival are somewhat unclear from my research, but […]

  • The Living Room [Hike]

    The Living Room [Hike]

    One of the classic Salt Lake City hikes is The Living Room. It’s just above the University of Utah, with free parking and is dog-friendly. Many people love this hike as a quick after work hike or a neat place to catch a sunset. It’s short enough that people can take their families. I wouldn’t classify […]
