Though I’d visited Zion before, it had been during Thanksgiving time and there was not much opportunity for hiking due to the weather. After doing further research on the park, especially discovering Angel’s Landing thanks to our good friend, Wally, I knew this national park was getting moved to the top of my priority listContinue reading “Zion National Park- Angel’s Landing and the Narrows (Sep. 2014)”

Rocky Mountain National Park- Nymph Lake, Dream Lake, Emerald Lake and Bierstadt Lake Hike (July 2014)
With July 4th falling on a Friday this year, that meant another long weekend that needed some travel plans! After toying around with many national park options for the weekend, we decided on Rocky Mountain National Park. Besides its obvious beauty, the location of being only 8 hours from Lincoln was a large attraction (we’reContinue reading “Rocky Mountain National Park- Nymph Lake, Dream Lake, Emerald Lake and Bierstadt Lake Hike (July 2014)”
Arches National Park: Moab, UT (May 2014)
Although both Pablo and I had already been to Arches National Park, when rain showed up in the forecast for Bryce Canyon we had to change our itinerary. Bryce still awaits for a future visit.

Chimney Rock and Scotts Bluff (March 2013)
Chimney Rock was up next after Carhenge. This famous landmark on the Oregon trail was apparently something that the travelers looked for during the trek. We stopped at the Visitor’s Center and paid a few dollars which we thought were required- but I think we only paid that to be in the Visitor’s Center. WeContinue reading “Chimney Rock and Scotts Bluff (March 2013)”
Carhenge (March 2013)
Ever since moving to Lincoln for college in 2007, I have wanted to explore the famous “Carhenge” in western Nebraska. Last year that wish finally came true! Over Easter weekend Pablo and I decided to take a road trip out to Alliance to check it out and it was fun. One trip is enough toContinue reading “Carhenge (March 2013)”

Taylor’s wedding was in New Mexico in October and with great timing- the same weekend as the International Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque!
