You can take the challenge head on

The end of February is quickly approaching and I honestly can’t believe how fast time flies when it still feels like I’m crawling through each day. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life.

Congaree National Park is an absolute gem on the southeastern coast. After spending about 2 days in the park in early March 2024, I realized I needed to come back to experience more of this beautiful and peaceful palce.

Along the way I hiked the Grotto Trail and part of the West Rim Trail to Scout’s Lookout, right before Angel’s Landing begins.Continue reading “Zion National Park”

Joshua Tree National Park

For the first time I flew to California and spent a long weekend camping at Joshua Tree National Park! The entire time was an unforgetable weekend with a good friend. We stayed in the southeast part of the park in Cottonwood Campgrounds, which is in the Colorado Desert. There were flushing toilets and pottable waterContinue reading “Joshua Tree National Park”
