Buckeye Trail: Cuyahoga Valley National Park | Northeast Ohio Winter Hiking | CVNP In The Winter

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…

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 took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. -Henry David Thoreau Ok, so let’s just reflect on the fact that Colorado is amazing. The people here are so active that I feel rather lazy next to them. They’re like superhuman or at the very least they’re drinking/eating some power fruit/berry that the rest of us on this planet, just simply, don’t know about. They need to let us in on their little secret!! Anyways,…

I just got back from my first backpacking trip and boy am I hooked. I sure hope Lemon feels the same way because we’ll be going often.I had 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…

Alaska is such a beautiful state to visit. Most people that visit Alaska head there on a cruise and spend very minimal time actually on land. You can see amazing glaciers, wildlife, and beautiful landscapes from the water. But there is also a lot of hidden treasures on land. Today I’m going to share with you some of my favorite things to do in Alaska, that yes! You will have to get off a boat and go see. Matanuska Glacier This was…
