Derek and I drove the short distance to Union Creek to hike along the Rogue River and get out of the snow. Back when we used to race mountain bikes we would make the drive from Bend down to the Grants Pass area for a big race each year. That drive took us right past …
Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, located in the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, Arizona, is a true gem. With tons of hiking options, we have been here before. In fact, Seven Falls was one of my favorites! This time we did a shorter hike to see the creek, dam, and …
Highlight reels are fun quick snapshots of greatness and this post is just that. Derek and I just completed our third year of living and traveling full time in our trailer.

The Mojave Preserve stretches out across an expansive 1,542,776 acres and one day we drove over to an area called Hole in the Wall to hike around. We hiked Barber Peak Loop and up through Rings Trail for a total of 5.8 miles. Barber Peak Loop is a fairly easy hike as far as it …
I hate driving. Not the physical act of driving, but the sitting. For that reason, I’m a sucky traveler and we try not to spend more than a few hours driving between spots.

For the first time ever, we’re out in Eastern Oregon. We spent our first day doing a couple short hikes just to get out and see some stuff. There are a ton of hikes out in the Wallowas and most of them are pretty big. My knee couldn’t handle any of that so our short …
Last month we hiked to a wind cave in Logan and blogged about it here. Here in Driggs, ID we found another wind cave to hike to. Our hike to Darby Wind Cave was 6.7 miles with 1800′ of climbing and endless amazement. Once again, we entered Wilderness not very far from the trailhead and …

Past the second bridge we turned left and headed up the canyon into thicker forest. We passed by several beaver dams and lots of greenery. Sawmill Temple Fork buzzed …
