This is a hike known having tons of wildflowers. It’s been on my list for awhile and I finally did a solo hike to catch some of the last wildflowers before nature’s vibrant color palette turns to one of autumnal hues.

A lighthouse is the iconic symbol of Palo Duro Canyon State Park, just outside of Amarillo, Texas. It’s not a lighthouse like you would see along a coastline. It’s a sandstone rock formation. To see it, you have to hike to in the Grand Canyon of Texas. Palo Duro is the second largest canyon in … Continue reading

In other words….it’s straight up. It’s one of … Continue reading

This section of the river is known as the Upper and Middle Provo River and offers some of the best fishing in Utah. This world of … Continue reading
Roxborough State Park is a gigantic geology jigsaw puzzle. It’s like the world-famous Red Rocks, which are just up the road, only without the crowds.
