Desert Escape Part 1: Colorado National Monument, Dinosaur Hill, and Desert Gravel CO2UT

A lack of adventures makes Heidi a dull girl. To say I was long overdue for a vacation is an understatement. Luckily I had my perfect escape moment - a gravel bike race in Fruita, CO, which would land me in proximity to one of my favorite desert getaways, Moab, UT.

Wyoming Explored: Biking Grand Teton National Park

I normally don't discuss my cycling adventures on this blog, but it has been a long time since I updated! Too much work, too little adventuring!

Hindsight is always something that can come into play, and looking back I would've done this day much differently and spent the night off in the national forest near the Hoback Canyon, but alas... hindsight is 20/20. It still wasn't a bad day,… Continue reading Of Geysers & Waterfalls – Days 7 & 8: Midway Geyser Basin, Jenny Lake, Hidden Falls, Colter’s Bay, and Granite Creek Falls

Wyoming Hiked: Browns Peak Loop / Alpine Lakes Loop

Alpine Lakes Loop11.8 miles Back in September my adventure buddy, Lydia, and I headed up to the Snowies for a late summer season camping adventure. We didn't quite bank on a foot of snow when we arrived to Brooklyn Lake, but we found a spot fairly sheltered from the wind and set up camp, ready… Continue reading Wyoming Hiked: Browns Peak Loop / Alpine Lakes Loop
