Here was the sunset on the drive out of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! Headed out to Page and checked into the La Quinta which was my absolute savior. The hotel is dog friendly!!!! Thank goodness….and like super dog friendly, no extra fees for a pet, you can leave the pet in the room while you go explore, and we even saw like 4 other pups in the hotel. Oh, and we got free breakfast.. Score! After my experience…
Ok car update. I noticed the tire pressure light on yesterday, after my off roading expedition and I decided I needed to take the rental to a local tire shop before leaving for the Grand Canyon. I also noticed that both front tires now had hub caps that didn’t exactly look how they did before. Uhoh!!!! Tire shop took a look. Both tires are fine, just had to get some air in the tires, phew! But the hub caps are…
Well…..we totally without a doubt bit off more than we could chew today and it was epic! So I simply wanted to get closer to the mountain range here in Flagstaff. I didn’t know exactly what I was in for, but I did some research and came up with a plan of action. The Bubbly Mermaid Plan of Action (Also Named…Not My Best Idea) US 89 North 14 miles Forest Road 418 12 miles Forest Road 151 8 miles US…
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…
Looking for a fun, challenging, and quick hike in Boulder, this is your calling. We learned this is a local fav for hiking in Boulder. We even met some locals who hike this weekly for a fast work out. Lots of pups too. Very dog friendly so go ahead and bring fido along. Hike has great views of the city and some nice challenging sections which makes it a winner. To get to this hike park at Centennial Trailhead. If…
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…
We’re back in Alaska! Today we’ll be starting in Anchorage and traveling to the small fishing town of Seward. And of course stopping at all the sights on the way! Anchorage Stopping to visit the most populated city in Alaska should be on your list while visiting the Last Frontier. During the summer you can find live bands playing in the park, street vendors with reindeer dogs, and tons of cute shops and restaurants to roam in and out of….
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. Matanuska Glacier This was one of my favorite Alaskan experiences. Here at Matanuska Glacier, you have access to…
