The historic Hotel Colorado offers a blend of Victorian charm and modern luxury in the heart of Glenwood Springs.

A Mountain Town Steeped in Relaxation For centuries, the Ute tribe revered the mineral-rich waters for their healing properties. … Continue reading →

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

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.

Book @themilosb for your next coastal getaway.

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!

📍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!

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 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. 🥰

Meteorological spring started March 1st so time for my hair to get a sunny glow with fresh highlights by dear friend @lisaholste. Hello spring! I’m freshly coiffed. Bring on the flowers!!!💇‍♀️🌞🌸

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!
