  • Day 5: Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT

    Day 5: Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT

    December 31, 2013 Today was the final day of our road trip (and of the year)! Our journey took us through the rest of Colorado, across Wyoming, and finally into Utah. Surprisingly, I drove for most of the day. I haven’t had a lot of experience driving in the mountains so it was a new […]

  • 4 SLC Coffee Shops to Fuel Your Caffeine Addiction

    4 SLC Coffee Shops to Fuel Your Caffeine Addiction

    In the past 2 years, I have started drinking coffee regularly. It all started on my cross-country road trip with my sister to Utah from Florida. When you’re driving for 10-12 hours a day, caffeine is a must! My sister and I would visit Starbucks in whichever city we stayed in overnight and keep on […]

  • Backpacking to Lake Mary

    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 […]

  • Fall is in the Air!

    Fall is in the Air!

    Good Afternoon! So it is officially September (where did the time go this year?!), and the first signs of fall are in the air. When living in Florida, fall for me was just a sign of not ungodly hot weather and maybe some fall festivals in the area. Living in Utah, autumn brings mixed feelings […]

  • Lake Blanche [Hike]

    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

    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]

    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 […]
