When we got to the split to go to Malan’s Peak, we decided to venture up to Malan’s Spring and then turn back.
Desolation Trail to Salt Lake Overlook
Desolation Trail to Salt Lake Overlook is yet another fun hike to a gorgeous view point over Salt Lake Valley. The trailhead is in Mill Creek Canyon and accessible year round!
Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah is known for its abundance of National Parks and Bryce Canyon National Park is the first of the 5 national parks in Utah I visited.
Red Canyon Trailhead
Since almost every national park is not dog friendly on the hiking trails, Red Canyon was the perfect spot to get in a hike with Winter!
Hidden Haven Falls
Another Southern Utah destination you cannot miss is Hidden Haven Falls, a great stop between the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs and Cedar Breaks…
Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge
For popularity, the Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge is up there with the Living Room Lookout Hike. The trail is high traffic, but short and sweet
Rattlesnake Gulch to Pipeline Overlook
The Rattlesnake Gulch to Pipeline Overlook hike was my first venture into Mill Creek Canyon. You can bet it will not be my last!
Heughs Canyon Trail
I started this day out with a plan to hike the Bonneville Shoreline Trail from Hueghs Canyon. But plans change and instead I hiked Heughs Canyon Trail.
Florida Scenic Trail and Camp Helen State Park
We managed to get two quick hikes in while I visited. The longer one an approximately 5 mile out and back section of the Florida National Scenic Trail, and the second at Camp Helen State Park.
Living Room Lookout Trail
The easy start is deceiving as the trail quickly turns into an up-mountain grind. For this Texas gal who is used to hiking on flat trails in low elevation, I appreciated the leg burner.
Bells Canyon Trail to Lower Falls
In true to Emily fashion, the destination was a waterfall. The trail of choice was Bells Canyon Trail to Lower Falls.Definitely a more difficult hike…
Utah State of Mind
I am finally here! After 6 weeks spent in Oregon and a 3 day roadtrip through Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado, I finally arrived in Utah.
Battle Creek Falls
The Battle Creek Falls trail is definitely a must hike. Winter was a trooper for this 4.1 mile hike with 1,800 feet elevation gain.
Whidbey Island Washington
I took a 3 day trip to Whidbey Island in Washington to stay with on of my good girl friends. We hiked, crabbed, and relaxed at her family beach house. The best part, Winter was reunited with her best dog friend, naughty Nog.
The Columbia River Gorge
My trail of choice was Dog Mountain, located on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge about an hour from Portland. This was Winter first peek ever, so the name of the hike was very fitting.
