    Beautiful Waterfall Hike in Lytle Creek

    March 23, 2023 / 0 Comments

    In case you missed it, a few weeks ago California was hit with some unusual snow. The mountain communities here in SoCal were pummeled with unusually high snowfall. It was so cold and so wet here where I live that even the communities down here in the Valley saw snow. Real snow. Not just hail or flurries that melted once they hit the ground. Actual snow. (Not enough to do anything with, but having grown up in this area, it was a big deal.)

    First Hike Of 2023 – Hiking In The Snow

    January 13, 2023 / 0 Comments

    This past weekend I went on my first hike of 2023 and boy did it kick my butt! Not only was it my first hike of 2023, but it was also one of my first real hikes in months (with the exception of Joshua Tree, last month but that was a fairly level hike), a hike in pretty deep snow (a first), and at a pretty high elevation (we ended at around 8000 feet and climbed just over 1000 feet). We weren't prepared for this hike, but I am so happy we did it.

    Bryce in the Snow

    November 25, 2019 / 2 Comments

    My entire life I have had to spend a good amount of time in Utah. When I was younger it was to go see my grandpa. Then in 2014 my mom moved up there. Now my mom is back in California, but we still have her place to watch over. Lucky for me, thanks to all this, over the last couple years I have been lucky enough to explore several of the national parks in Utah. So far I've been to Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef. All of them are gorgeous in their own special way, but Bryce in the winter is by far my absolute favorite.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall and every summer I try to do my favorite hike, The Bridge to Nowhere. 

This summer time got away from me and as we approached the final weekend of the season I still had not hiked to my favorite spot. So @ge_rar_doh and I had no choice but to spend last Saturday deep in Azusa Canyon.

11 miles, 7 hours, and 6 water crossings 🌞

Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a road trip any day. Love traveling to brand new places, taking back roads, and exploring tiny hidden treasures in towns you never knew existed. Nothing beats a road trip, whether you're driving 4 hours or 4 days.

Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to life. And live music touches you in a way that I can't really describe...that all sounds super cheesy and over blown but that's exactly how I feel.

@falloutboy is my favorite band. Have been for over 15 years. Their music means so much to me and their songs have gotten me through so many things. From big memories to small so many of their songs can transport me back to a vivid moment in time.

I could go on and on and never find the right words to express what last night was like for me or what this band means to me, so I'll spare you a long ramble and instead I'll just share this clip that oddly enough made me tear up 🥹 since I can't share anything else because my horrible scream singing covers up everything else.
