Every year for the last 14 years, a big group of family (or those who are like family) take a boating trip to Kentucky or Tennessee. It’s something we all look forward to. I’m reminiscing this year because Keith and I didn’t make the trip. We drove home last summer to attend and decided we would try to make the …
This has a “Dear Diary” feel as I sit in bed at 8:00am with my Wonderlust Cowgirl Coffee and a blueberry muffin. It feels like cruel and unusual punishment to eat it with Lexi waiting for an bit she can find. She gets even more desperate as I near the last bites, I did sneak her a tiny morsel. Even …
It was nearing the end of our trip and we wanted to get Lexi out for another hike. There was still a short hike at Red Canyon that we hadn’t done so this was the perfect activity. Lexi had hiked with us previously in Red Canyon and enjoyed it so much that this was a no brainer. Check out the …
The Riggs Spring Loop Trail would be the last big hike we would do at Bryce Canyon National Park, at least for this trip! This loop trail is 8.5 miles with a 2248 feet elevation gain. The combination of distance and elevation gain would mean a much harder hike for me and we’d be in bear country so I wasn’t …
Keith and I were blown away by the full moon hike at Bryce Canyon National Park! Be sure to get information at the visitor center for this unique experience. A ticket is required and you obtain it through a lottery process. On the evening we attended, we met at the Bryce Lodge Auditorium to meet the rangers who would be …
The Losee Canyon Trail is located about 20 miles from the Hitch-n-Post Campground and is in the Dixie National Forest. This out and back trail is 6 miles with an elevation gain of 550 feet. It’s rated at moderate. The trailhead is easy to find and well marked. There is a toilet at the trailhead, but on the day we …
It was Halloween, I didn’t find any events in the area so Keith and I decided to head out for a drive. A small part of me was hoping to find a ghost town as a last ditch effort to connect the adventure to Halloween. We didn’t find a ghost town per say, but we did find remote areas that …
Cedar Breaks National Monument is located about 45 minutes from where we were staying in Panguitch and there was a hike in the area we wanted to do. Keith and I had actually been to nearby Brian Head Ski Resort in March 2017 and got a peak at the amphitheater. Since we were close by, we decided to plan an …
It was a Saturday and normally we plan full days out on the weekend, but Keith and I decided Lexi needed some attention… plus I was worn out from a 20 mile bike ride the night before! We had biked in Red Canyon earlier in the trip and had decided to ride another section of the shared use path all …
Panguitch means “big fish” and Panguitch Lake is known for its exceptional fishing and some of the largest rainbow trout in Utah! Located in south central Utah, the lake features 10 miles of shoreline with residential and rental properties. This community is known as Duck Creek Village. There are several Utah attractions within the vicinity; Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand …
