It’s a beautiful morning in @visitglenwood to do s 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. 

🏨 Hotel Colorado
📍 Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Spectacular Superbloom is peaking right now in @de 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!

📍Death Valley National Park, California
Jumping for joy at seeing Lake Manly for a second Jumping for joy at seeing Lake Manly for a second time in @deathvalleynps. The lake reappeared thanks to heavy rain events in the past few months. 

It will evaporate as the temperatures rise. It’s in Badwater Basin. At 282 feet below sea level, it’s the lowest spot in North America. It’s extra special when you catch Lake Manly. 

Last pic is from February 2024 after the epic Lake Manly that happened after Hurricane Hillary in fall 2023. That year it was so deep people kayaked it and it came all the way up to the boardwalk at Badwater Basin! 

📍Lake Manly in Badwater Basin, Death Valley National Park
Checked off my 286th unit of the @nationalparkserv Checked off my 286th unit of the @nationalparkservice with a wonderful hike in @santamonicamountainsnps. I went up the Solstice Canyon Trail to see the Keller House ruins, Tropical Terrace (Robert’s House ruins), and a waterfall. Then I hike up and down Rising Sun Trail to enjoy great views of the canyon and Pacific Ocean. Loved every second of the 2.9-mile hike!
Soaked in some California sunshine on a long walk Soaked in some California sunshine on a long walk exploring the marina and Alamitos Beach in @visitlb before speaking on solo adventure travel at L.A. @traveladventureshow this afternoon at Long Beach Convention Center.

That’s a wrap on me speaking at Travel & Adventure Show this year. It was fun to share at Seattle, Washington D.C, NYC, Chicago, and L.A. shows. Topics this year were solo adventure travel and national parks, monuments, and sites. 

I’m curious - what would you like to hear me speak on in 2027?
Let me know in comments! ⬇️
I have EXCITING news! I’m the host for a fireside I have EXCITING news! I’m the host for a fireside chat with @alexhonnold @jimmychin and @jimwmorrison on June 23rd @travelgoodsassoc @hellotravelcon at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City. I’m also the facilitator for their 90-minute masterclasses. 

The sessions are open to anyone but you do have to buy a ticket. Use code JENNIFER20 for $20 off. Save even more with early bird pricing through March 19th on travelcon.org.

As an adventurer, meteorologist, and travel journalist I can’t wait for deep dive conversations about how they prep, train, and film their wild adventures…and of course I can’t wait to chat about how weather impacts their pursuits.

This is going to be EPIC!
If you think Beaver Creek is just skiing… think ag If you think Beaver Creek is just skiing… think again.⛷️🎸🎶

Foreigner’s 50th anniversary show @vilarpac absolutely rocked. No big band theatrics. No over-the-top production. Just four guys who sound incredible ripping through hit after hit.

As a diehard ’80s music fan, hearing songs like Cold As Ice, Jukebox Hero, and I Want to Know What Love Is live in a venue this intimate was unreal.

The secret sauce? This theater has a European horseshoe design with phenomenal acoustics, which means every guitar riff and vocal hits perfectly. It’s one of those rare venues where every seat feels close to the stage.

The night ended with fans invited up on stage, singing along as the band closed the show. Pure rock nostalgia and one of the coolest concert moments I’ve had in a long time.

If you’re heading to @beavercreek, check the Vilar lineup.
You might come for the mountain… but you’ll be surprised by the show.

If you get a chance to see @foreignerlive - DON’T miss it!🎶 Enjoy snippets of some of their hits during the 50th anniversary show. 🥰

Had a ball doing television segments today sharing Had a ball doing television segments today sharing what I love about @beavercreek including seeing the 50th anniversary show of @foreignerlive @vilarpac Wednesday and hitting the slopes in sunshine and snow on Thursday. I skied a couple of times as a teenager but really learned as an adult starting at Beaver Creek in 2010 when I moved to Colorado the first time. It’s always special there!

Gusty winds and very little snow for February, but Gusty winds and very little snow for February, but still enjoyed a little some time in @rockynps on a quick trip to @visitestespark. Even saw some elk! 🥰

Did you know there are 2 @nationalparkservice site Did you know there are 2 @nationalparkservice sites close to downtown Chicago? I visited both before speaking @traveladventureshow. I started @pullmannps for a look at America’s industrial past at the historic Pullman Company town where Pullman sleeper train cars were created. Afterwards, I warmed up with a latte at Pullman Club Coffee Shop to warm up on a cold, windy day in Chicago. ☕️

Next stop: Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument. The Chicago unit is Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ, still an active church and the site of teenager Emmett Till’s 1955 open-casket funeral, where Mamie Till-Mobley’s courageous decision helped spark the modern Civil Rights Movement.

That brings my National Park Service total to 285 of 433 units. Every one tells a story worth remembering.

Had such a great time @suttonbrands Women Pioneers Had such a great time @suttonbrands Women Pioneers of Circular Fashion event last night @thewaylonnyc. @suttonstracke is an absolute delight. Especially proud of my friend @cbmcooper and her brand @cayecaftans for being part of the event. @danathomasparis was the honoree and a hoot! Love seeing these women making sustainable waves in the fashion industry!

Say YES! Three simple letters that can open a new Say YES! Three simple letters that can open a new chapter, a new journey, or a new path.

Thanks to @belize_reel_excursions I got to experie Thanks to @belize_reel_excursions I got to experience snorkeling spots most people never see in Belize.

At Mexico Rocks, it’s calm, colorful, and full of life with schools of blue tang and mangrove snappers, curious parrott fish and trunkfish, and a couple of stingrays and turtles cruising by like they own the place.

Then there’s Stingray City. It’s an adrenaline rush surrounded by massive stingrays, easily 4–6 feet wide, with nurse sharks gliding past that can reach 6-8 feet long. It’s humbling, thrilling, unforgettable…and a smidge terrifying. 😂

Both are just off Ambergris Caye @travelbelize 
Two snorkels. Two worlds. Same day.

Which would you choose: colorful and calm, or full adrenaline? 👇
Sum me up pretty good! Fun to see everyone else’s Sum me up pretty good! Fun to see everyone else’s caricature so created mine too. 😁
Some places are made for passing through. This one Some places are made for passing through. This one is made for staying awhile.

Enjoy a tour of Casita 6B @orchidbayresort with high ceilings, a screened porch, full kitchen, and enough space to actually settle in. My favs - morning light gently peeking in and late afternoons on the porch.

It’s the kind of place where you unpack fully and forget what day it is.

You come to Belize thinking about reefs and ruins. You come to Belize thinking about reefs and ruins.
You don’t expect a river to steal the show.

This is the New River, just before the sun goes down, on a sunset cruise from @orchidbayresort. Just navigating the river while the light softens surrounded by the wildness of fye mangroves.

It’s the kind of moment you don’t plan for, but will end up remembering long after the trip is over.

Sometimes the best part of travel is the boat ride you didn’t know you needed.

This morning had other plans.😂

Met guide @lyan.yan19 at 6am for sunrise birding @orchidbayresort on the coldest morning in years in Belize.
It was 56°F, which is shocking COLD in the tropics.🥶

Colder mornings = more movement

At sunrise birds are active, light is soft, and lagoons are quiet in a way you don’t see later in the day. No crowds. No rush. Just calls echoing through the mangroves as the sun climbs over northern Belize.🦜🐦‍⬛

This is the side of travel I love most. 🥰 Setting the alarm early, trusting a local guide, and seeing a destination before it wakes up.

Worth every chilly minute.👍🏻
