While in Sedona last summer, my sister-in-law Celeste, our friend Daryn, and myself wanted to get at least one of the more popular hikes in. We happened to be staying down the road from Oak Creek where the Baldwin Trail can be accessed. This is one of the ways you can get to Cathedral Rock. If you use the AllTrails app, you can find this particular route under Cathedral Rock to Red Rock Crossing. It’s a 4.3 mile out and…
Our adventures continued with a visit to the Honanki Ciff Dwellings about 15 miles outside of Sedona in the Coconino National Forest. If you have never been, we highly recommend taking the time to go! There’s just something special about feeling like you are taking a step back in time. I imagine we had a fairly similar view of the area as the people who occupied the cliff dwellings long ago. History has always interested me so I was pretty…
Alex and I were fortunate enough to tag along with the crew at E.M. Motors Boise & Launch Vans on their trip to Sedona for the 2021 Overland Expo (West). What an adventure it was! Neither of us had been to Sedona or the Grand Canyon so we were excited to experience all these places had to offer an adventurer. Add to that was the opportunity to get Vannah out on a long road trip as well! Our trip took…
This past fall, Alex and I took our pups and headed out with my sister and her partner on a trip to Coeur d’Alene, camping along the way. It was a blast discovering places we had never been – all beautiful in their own way. On our way home, we discovered we’d be near the Nez Perce Clearwater National Forest so we decided to see if we could find a spot to dry camp for the night. Enter Jungle Creek.…

Our mission is to share the love of the outdoors with others. Not only do we want to inspire you to get out in nature, we…
Winter camping in Idaho. There’s nothing like it! Check out the photos of our long weekend in the Stanley/Sun Valley area! We were fortunate enough to take a long weekend in February to do a bit of winter camping in the Stanley/Sun Valley area. Our van had just been outfitted with a heater, insulation, a freezer/fridge, and dry flush toilet so of course we had to test it out! The temps were in the mid to low teens and the…
