Can’t stop…won’t stop…chasing those darn waterfalls! On any visit to Yosemite National Park this is a must see, fan favorite, very popular, crowded attraction. Don’t miss out on seeing Yosemite Falls. Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in the park offering you an upper and lower waterfall to view. The falls reach a height of 2,425 ft. The best time to view Yosemite Falls is in the spring when most of the snow is melting. And get this….sometimes…in the summer,…

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…

Cape Perpetua, in the Siuslaw National Forest was one of the most recommended spots, when I told people I was doing a coastal Oregon roadtrip. Here viewers have the pleasure of literally seeing nature at its best. You’re able to see multiple natural wonders in short walking distance. Including Cook’s Chasm, Spouting Horn, Devil’s Churn, and Thor’s Well. With names like that you know $h!+ is gonna be cray!!! You get a slight uneasy feeling in your gut when you’re…

Ahhh! So happy we’re actually officially on our Oregon adventure now. Exploring the Gold Beach and Brookings area. We are staying in the pet friendly cabins at Ireland’s Rustic Lodges. The cabins are just adorable. Comfortably fitting all four of us and we even have our own fireplace to keep us warm and cozy. The staff is extremely helpful and we only have to walk down a small path to be directly on the beach. After we ate breakfast at the…

Today I’m very much so regretting that I thought conditions weren’t bad enough for microspikes. I hike in California for goodness sake. I summit mountains that tower over the highest elevation in Ohio. I don’t need microspikes I told myself. I’m an avid hiker I said, this will be a walk in the park. I changed my mind quickly when I fell behind my hiking group because I could barely walk on the iced covered trail and they were just…

Lemon’s first snow hike and she made in back in one piece! Thank freakin goodness! I was worried about how the tiny monster would do in the snow and I’m here to report back that we finally found Lemon’s weakness. Turns out the pooch is a total freeze baby just like moi. (More on that later) We headed to the Cleveland Metroparks South Chagrin Reservations to check out two separate trails: Squaw Rock Loop Trail: A 0.6 mile loop hike bordering the…

So most of you don’t really have any idea how much of an actual beast Lemon is. I know I know,  you think I must be making this up for goodness sake she’s 5.6 lbs. Well my friends she’s crazy, just plain nuts. When we hike she starts to get angry about the pace (it’s just way too slow for her adventurous soul) So she bites at my ankles, shoes laces, and socks till the speed is more her pace….

Wow!!!  This is why I leave my home, my friends, and all the fun stuff going on to venture into the unknown …for days like this!  Let’s hike Cathedral Rock!!! Cathedral Rock impressed me greatly, I haven’t done a hike like this before. It’s a super short hike, only about 1.4 miles but the trail just has you crawling up the whole time.   You’ll start by parking in the Cathedral Rock Trailhead parking lot and then locate the Cathedral…

Howdy peeps… I’m currently exploring Arizona. Started the journey this past Wednesday and drove through the night. Lemon didn’t sleep a wink on the way which was rather frustrating! Decided our first stop would be Sedona.  Got here around 5am which has provided me with total lack of sleep and made it difficult to get rested up to explore. I think The Bubbly Mermaid finally got her groove back today!!! Yay! Girlfriend needs her beauty sleep. First thing on the…
