Welp, I think we can all agree that this view is rather beautiful. Yosemite National Park is one of those places that has beauty to offer visitors year round. But, one of the benefits of visiting the park in the winter is it being less populated…because well yeah it’s slightly freezing and the snow can make for difficult driving conditions. But that snow also makes for a magical fairytale setting where you can’t help but feel like you’re in a…

Hitting the trails at Limestone Canyon on access day. The Grand Canyon of Orange County Confession: When I’m back home it can be hard for me to get motivated to do new things. I don’t know why this is, I’m so good at adventuring when I’m out of my element. Maybe it’s cause I absolutely love the home I have built for my tiny family, or cause my bed is extra comfy, or maybe it’s the simple fact that I…

Hello from Northern California and Avenue of the Giants! On the agenda today was exploring the massive redwoods I have so longed to be surrounded by.

And boy it didn’t disappoint….. Welcome to the other side of the rabbit hole my…

The last 24 hours have been fun and hectic to kick off this Oregon road trip extravaganza! Couple reasons why… For anyone following the weather you know that Northern California has been getting hit hard with winter rain storms which has caused floods and a plethora of other lovely problems. I have two people (my mom and one of my best friends from college) and a Lemonhead (my dog duh) joining me on this trip. And don’t get me wrong I…

This was a trip for the books, one that not only had a sunset summit viewing but also a sunrise summit viewing. That’s the beauty of backpacking, versus day hikes, it’s like the whole mountain belongs to you with no time limit. You can explore all day and all night. I’m so excited to share pics with you all from this adventure. Let’s get started! We decided our best plan of action for hiking and backpacking would be taking the…

I just got back from my first backpacking trip, and I love it. I sure hope Lemon feels the same way because we’ll be going often. I’ve always wanted to get into backpacking, but it seemed so intimidating. The amount of money you have to shell out for the gear, the thought of being away from civilization with only the items you have on your back, and the fear that little Lemon wouldn’t be able to hike a mountain, made…
