Diamond Fork Hot Springs

Imagine yourself walking through a mix of red rock canyons and forest, on a path covered in white snow with a river winding its way along the side of the path. The destination is unreal blue and turquoise colored steaming hot pools to relax in. Does that sound appealing to you as we approach springtime? It […]

Cross Country Skiing for Beginners [Utah Adventures]

This past weekend, I decided to give cross country skiing another try. It snowed on Saturday, and I was just dying to get out there and enjoy it. Plus, I hate feeling cooped up in the house all weekend. The winter seems to do that to me. I had heard there were some spots to […]

Ice Castles

Winter adventures are not limited to skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding! One of the many reasons I love Utah is that there’s opportunity for unique winter adventures. Two years ago, when I first moved to Utah, I discovered the Ice Castles in Midway, UT (outside of Park City). Yesterday, we revisited the Ice Castles for a […]

Backpacking to Lake Mary

I am just going to start off by saying that an adventure is not an adventure until plans change. We did “technically” go backpacking to Lake Mary, but we also went night hiking back. But first, let me explain… Brighton and I don’t have much experience with backpacking. We’ve been on lots of day hikes […]

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 […]
