When you think of Vegas you hardly think of wetlands but we rode around them! The Wetlands Loop we rode was 24.6 miles with 1164′ of climbing. This loop is mostly on a paved path closed to motor vehicles...
Lava Butte Gravel Ride
A big part of our time on the road is spent exploring areas. Our ride the other day is a perfect example! We rode some gravel roads just outside Lake Mead National Recreation Area. We rode up and down...
Anniversary Narrows Hike

Ringbolt Hot Springs Hike
Our new spot for the next few weeks is by Lake Mead in Nevada. We were in the area for a short stay a few years ago and had fun. There are only so many places to go to...

Wildrose Peak Hike
Back in Bend we loved to eat at Wild Rose Thai; that place had THE BEST Thai food. The hike we did the other day had me thinking about that restaurant the whole way as we hiked up Wildrose...
