It’s an adventure this week in Missouri! Flew into

It’s an adventure this week in Missouri! Flew into Springfield right after a big hail storm damaged every rental car at airport to throw a kink into the plan. After filming at Casper’s - Springfield’s oldest diner - for a big Route 66 project with @beefitswhatsfordinner and @mobeefcouncil had to rent a U-Haul because there were no rental cars in the city.

So off my friend @adeinaanderson and I went on Route 66 seeing a few sites in Springfield, stopping at Gary’s Gay Parita, and spent the night at Boots Court Motel in Carthage. It’s one of the oldest operating hotels on Route 66!

Off for Day 2 of this wild ride!😂

To quote The Eagles song….”Well I’m standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.”

Spending some time on Route 66 this week working on a big project for @beefitswhatsfordinner. Can’t wait to share some seriously cool spots along the Mother Road!

When you checked into a 100-year-old barn… at the world’s only Forbes 5-Star guest ranch.

The Wrangler @theranchatrockcreek is where Montana’s past meets polished luxury. Once the tack room in this 19th-century barn, now reimagined with hand-hewn beams, creaky wood floors, and a porch made for slow mornings. Inside there’s a king bed, cozy sitting area, and every luxurious Western detail done right.

It’s rugged on the outside and refined where it counts. It’s exactly how a five-star ranch should feel.

History outside, luxury inside, and views that make you sit a little longer….and wish you never have to leave.

Just a girl and her new favorite horse…meet Noble.🐴

He’s a rescued American mustang with grit and grace. Out here @theranchatrockcreek, the world’s only Forbes 5-Star ranch, this isn’t just horseback riding, it’s luxuriously experiencing the real West.

Big Montana sky, the snow-dusted Sapphire Range in the distance, miles of open land, and trotting through the sagebrush make it truly special.

I’ve ridden quite a bit and done some phenomenal rides, but the opportunity to ride an American mustang is unforgettable.

I’m definitely a member of Noble’s fan club….and based on the snuggles at the end of the ride I think he likes me too. 🥰

Montana doesn’t ask you to slow down in the spring

Montana doesn’t ask you to slow down in the spring… the weather makes the decision for you.

It snowed all morning. Quiet, steady, and forces you to slow down whether you planned to or not. By afternoon, blue skies were back. One minute winter, the next it’s saddle up season.

April @theranchatrockcreek feels like a reset:
• chilaquiles for a late, linger-a-while breakfast
• a trail ride through a fresh dusting of white
• making new friends with Flip and Flop (and a few four-legged trail partners, too)
• guided breathwork + a sound bath with Eve that resets everything
• a Montana Distillery whiskey tasting before happy hour
• and ending the day with a French Cowboy–themed dinner by @chef.zac that topped it all

This is luxury that doesn’t try too hard. It just lets nature set the pace.

And around here… the weather always gets the last word.

POV: you came for spring… and Montana said “sit a while” ❄️

Rocking on the historic barn porch @theranchatrockcreek while snow falls as winter says hold on.

Forecast? Doesn’t matter here. The weather is part of the experience.

No rush. No noise. Just a luxury guest ranch and a front-row seat to whatever the sky decides.

Spring… the Montana way.🥰

Boat day to Isla Mujeres… and the rest of the world fades away. 🌊

Turquoise water, pelicans on patrol, and a margarita the size of your head.

Yeah… this is the beach vibe. It’s a fun excursion from Cancun.

This is your sign to wake up early on vacation.🌅

Puerto Morelos at sunrise feels like a different world…
quiet water, soft light, and a sky that slowly catches fire.

No beach clubs. No crowds. Just the sound of the ocean and a front-row seat to the day beginning.

Sometimes the best part of a trip happens before everyone else wakes up.

Would you set the alarm for this?🙋‍♀️

This is my new favorite place to stay in @visitsantabarbara 🌴
Beach across the street. Mediterranean vibes.

Room 2205 = obsessed.

Don’t just go to the beach…
Ride there. 🐎🌊

With @lospadresdayrides @lospadresoutfitters you start in Summerland, winding past lemon orchards, then crossed over the 101 (yes… on horseback), before dropping down to Loon Point Beach for one of the most beautiful rides I’ve ever done.

🌅Late afternoon light
🌊Waves rolling in
🐴Sound of hooves in the sand

Rode up and down the shoreline,
then headed back the same we came.

Huge shoutout to guide @shaelisalazar! Loved chatting with her along our ride.

What a way to experience the California coast in @visitsantabarbara.💗✨

Friday afternoon reset… beach bliss included. 🌊

Sneaking in a little solitude on the beach in @visitsantabarbara before the weekend energy rolls in.

Waves rolling in
Salt air, sunshine
Cliffs stretching along the coast

No schedule. No rush. Just that feeling you’ve been needing all week.

Because sometimes the best reset…is a quiet walk by the water on a Friday afternoon.

A date farm…in the Mojave Desert?!

Just outside Death Valley, a rugged canyon drive leads to one of the most unexpected hidden gems in California. @chinaranch has lush palms, desert hikes, wildflowers, and a history that dates back to the 1880s.

But the real reward? That coffee date shake after your hike. Worth every dusty mile.

Save this for your next Death Valley adventure!

The hottest place on Earth is covered in wildflowe

The hottest place on Earth is covered in wildflowers.

Death Valley National Park, one of the driest places on the planet is exploding with color right now during a rare desert Superbloom. It’s the best since 2016. The valley floor is glowing with fields of Desert Gold wildflowers.

And that’s not the only surprise. Lake Manly, an ancient lake has returned to Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Seeing water here once is unusual, but I’ve seen it twice in 2 years.

If seeing the Superbloom and Lake Manly are on your bucket list, go quick! Scorching temperatures this week mean both with disappear fast.

🌼 Peak valley bloom is happening now
🌼 Expect crowds for Superbloom and Spring Break
🌼 Look but don’t pick — wildflowers are protected
🌼 More flowers appear at higher elevations through June and July

Death Valley proves even the harshest landscapes can explode with life.

It’s always fun to be in studio with @deniseplantedenver and @jeffschroeder23. I’m often on location on @greatdaycotv so it’s a nice treat to be in-studio today chatting about spring travel.

This is one of my favorite hotels in the Rockies, and it comes with a “beary” good story.

Built in 1893, @thehotelcolorado is full of historic charm. The lobby alone feels like stepping back in time.

Grab a latte at Legends and hear the story about hotel maids who made a stuffed bear from cloth scraps to cheer up President Theodore Roosevelt while he was on an extended stay at Hotel Colorado and it was known as the “White House of the West.”

This time I stayed in Suite 415:
✨ Tons of natural light
✨ Spacious bedroom + separate living area
✨ Coffee bar setup
✨ One of the ONLY balconies with views over Glenwood Springs

The bathroom’s a little tight, but that’s part of the 1893 charm.

After a soaking in nearby hot springs, head to the hotel’s Polo Lounge. Order the Molly’s Gimlet named after the Titanic’s Unsinkable Molly Brown, another of the hotel’s famous guests. Don’t miss chatting with Ashley behind the bar. She’s one of my favorite bartenders anywhere.

Historic, a little quirky, and full of stories this is a stay you won’t forget.

Yes it’s been a low snow ski season in Colorado. But a quick storm reminds you why you keep chasing it on the slopes.

@beavercreek is one of my favs because the mountain skis like a giant mushroom. It has mellow, rolling runs at the top with wide-open views that make it one of the most enjoyable places for an easy, cruisy ski day.

One minute it’s snowing sideways, the next there’s blue sky and sunshine, then back to snow again. It’s classic Colorado spring skiing!

🎿 Who else loves a good spring ski day?

Denver said “Hold my beer.”
Meteorologist translation: WEATHER WHIPLASH

Yesterday: High of 74° and sunny. ☀️
Today: Low of 23° and snow. ❄️

Classic Front Range forecast chaos with a 51° temperature swing in less than 17 hours.

If you don’t like the weather here… just wait, it will change fast.

It’s a beautiful morning in @visitglenwood to do some live TV segments from a balcony at the historic @thehotelcolorado.

It’s one of my favorite hotels in Colorado and a place I stay at least once a year for a little R&R. This time in spacious Suite 415 with a view of the city and canyon.

Spectacular Superbloom is peaking right now in @deathvalleynps. I’ve been to Death Valley multiple times and never seen it like this. There are so many flowers it’s considered a once-in-a-decade Superbloom as the result of fall and early winter rain events.

While the Desert Gold is the star of the show blanketing swaths of the valley floor, there’s also other flowers ranging in colors from white to purple.

It’s simply spectacular!
