Entry into Valley of Fire State Park is easily the best $10 we have spent this year. I posted about our Bowl of Fire hike the other day and how incredibly cool all the red sandstone rocks and canyons...
St. Thomas, Nevada
We moved boondocking spots and found a doozy. It didn’t take very long so we had time to do a short hike out and around St. Thomas. Mormons founded St. Thomas in 1865. The thing is, they thought they...
Bowl of Fire Hike, Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Wowzer! Our Bowl of Fire Hike was amazing. This wasn’t a traditional hike where we followed a trail but instead, was free hiking up and across giant rock slabs into picturesque canyons. This slow going hike was 5.5 miles...
Wetlands Ride, Las Vegas
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
Yesterday was a blustery day with high winds, a bit of thunder and a couple drops of rain. We mostly stayed inside and I even got our taxes about 90% done! We took our chances the next day and...
McCullough Hills Mountain Biking
Derek and I mountain biked at McCullough Hills in Henderson, NV on a beautiful 80 degree morning. I did some online research and Trailforks says there are 50 trails for a total 66 miles. I rode 15.8 miles with...
River Mountains Trail Loop
Brilliant idea. Create a continuous bike path that encircles the city and gets people off busy streets. Tucson has the loop that we have ridden a bunch over the years, and this time we checked out the River Mountains...
Blue Diamond Mountain Bike Trails
Dead Horse Loop Just west of Las Vegas lies the Late Night Trailhead where we spent a couple days riding fun singletrack. With sunny skies and temps in the 60’s we lathered up with sunscreen and hit the singletrack....
Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge
Sometimes you stumble upon things and are rewarded. On our way to Death Valley we passed a sign for a wildlife refuge and decided to visit it later on our way towards Vegas. Ash Meadows is over 23,000 acres...
