Next month Jeri and I may be traveling to Mexico for a quick getaway. We are getting free airfare and 4 night lodging as part of a promotion. I wont go into all the details here, but we did join a time share with Diamond Resorts which we can get out of in 10 years... Continue Reading →
At the top of Springville canyon is a trail that follows Wadsworth Creek for about 3 miles with many stream crossings, decent shade, and a primitive camping spots. It's great for dogs and kids, but the trail can get dusty and there are a lot of cows in the canyon. I use T-Mobile and there... Continue Reading →
Nice trail with multiple bridges, a small stream and a waterfall. If you happen to be on your way to Cedar Breaks or staying in Parowan UT, Hidden Haven trailhead is under a 10 minutes drive up the canyon and offers a quick, easy and fun hike. See the damage from a previous flood. Distance: ... Continue Reading →
This trail has some great views of Cedar Breaks (which is similar to Bryce Canyon National Park), bristlecone pine trees, beautiful flowers, a small historic building, and an optional but undocumented extension to see a double arch. Distance: 4.83 miles round tripTime: ... Continue Reading →
Swimming with wild dolphins is the first item on our agenda this morning. We swam with dolphins when we were in Mexico in 2019 at Dolphin Discovery. That was an amazing experience but totally different from what our plan is for today. Todays plan involves finding a moving pod of dolphins and being placed in... Continue Reading →
This is now our second Sunday on vacation, but the first Sunday we spent most of the day waiting at the airport and flying. Today we wanted a slower and more relaxed day - we did a pretty good job and even managed not to spend any money the entire day. We believe that we... Continue Reading →
We had a scheduled cave tour at 11am, so we had a pretty slow morning. We walked around the bed and breakfast property to find fresh fruit and Macadamia nuts we could eat. For the past few days Caleb had been wanting to pick and eat an orange fresh off a tree. We found an... Continue Reading →
We drove back to the Volcano overlook this morning to see it one last time before we head to the Southernmost point of the United States. This is the third time we’ve driven this road, so we’ve heard the Shaka guide story about the Hawaiian Queen who converted to Christianity and threw rocks in the... Continue Reading →
We had planned a day and a half inside Volcano National Park, but because we got there fairly early and stayed in the park all day (until past dark), we basically got everything done we wanted to do. Park entrance fee is $30 per vehicle for a 3-day pass. First stop should be the visitor... Continue Reading →
First stop of the day was Lava Tree State Park (free entry & parking). The reviews made me think we’d only want to be there about 15 minutes, but the path was actually longer than we thought and it was very pretty. Imagine slow moving lava surrounding and burning trees as it progresses towards the... Continue Reading →
