The Superstition Mountains on a moody day. ☁️💙We did Massacre Falls which had a trickle flowing after a day of rain the previous day. The falls run fully in the spring, but this hike is definitely more about the beauty of the journey than the destination. ✨

Camelback Mountain is likely the most known hike i

Camelback Mountain is likely the most known hike in the Phoenix area. It’s quite the tourist attraction with hoards of people going up and down the short steep hike (with railings). We skipped it last year to avoid the crowds, but decided to check it off the list on this visit. There were plenty of people, but we were fortunate to have had a relatively smaller crowd our day. It was an experience…😂

The Transept Trail is a locals favorite and is relatively young, so it has far less traffic. It is less than two miles up the road from where we are staying and highly recommended, so we decided to go for it. We took the opportunity to make it a point to point hike by connecting it to the popular Hiline Trail and coming out at Yavapai Vista. We will definitely be back to explore more of Sedona with all there is to hike here!🏜️🌵

We really enjoyed the Soldier Pass-Brins Mesa loop

We really enjoyed the Soldier Pass-Brins Mesa loop hike. I favor loop hikes, and this one was a great example of how you can be in areas fairly close together but turning a corner can bring on a whole new view. There were touristy stops of the Seven Sacred Pools, Devils Kitchen (sinkhole), and Soldier Pass Cave, but the highlight for me was the other half that included Brins Mesa and Cibola Pass with some impressive scenery and towering red rocks. Highly recommended! 🏜️ #hikearizona #sedona

To complete the trifecta of most recommended first

To complete the trifecta of most recommended first time hikes to do in Sedona, we did both Devils Bridge and Cathedral Rock on the same day. Both had fun deceivingly daring photo ops at the end. 📸😳😲😯 #sedona #devilsbridge #hikearizona

We had such a great time in Arizona last winter break that we decided to come back and explore some more. I’ve never been to Sedona and it’s definitely a fun playground! We kicked things off with the Big Park Loop that goes around Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. It was a great intro to the area and had so many views around each bend. I love the lighting at the end of the day. Looking forward to more!🏜️😎

Siobhan & I celebrated our birthday together for the first time in 14yrs! It was a quick and full weekend with family, puzzling, arm wrestling, some hands of blackjack, a birthday dinner at Olive Garden, and lots of SOCCER. Aidan and Simon even scored goals for us today. A great birthday indeed!🧩🥳⚽️🍝

Our vacation month has come to a close. Back to work tomorrow😢. We did love this year’s trip, and think it was the best summer yet😎. The great addition to this summer was bringing river float tubes, and taking advantage of all the floating opportunities in the rivers of the towns we went through. We finished up the month with a float on the Arkansas River in Salida before we left Colorado. Then we stopped in Boise and did the Boise River float on the way home. A fun end to a great summer!💦#tubing #riverfloat #nuCampLife #tab320s

Collegiate West 4 Day Backpack-Part 2: Our timing

Collegiate West 4 Day Backpack-Part 2: Our timing was fortunate on day 3 as we made it over our highpoint for the day just as dark clouds moved in, bringing spurts of afternoon rain. Most of this trip was above treeline, so we couldn’t believe the fortunate timing of being low and in the trees when it rained. All cleared up for our final day up on the Divide to end at Monarch Pass and then a quick drive back to Salida for our celebratory meal!🍔🍟🥤Just great to be able to share this memorable part of the CDT with Julie:)

Collegiate West 4 Day Backpack-Part 1: This section of the CDT was one of my most memorable from my 2013 thru-hike. I’ve wanted to return ever since and loved being able to show it to Julie. I just love those cruises up on the Divide💫
