Presidential Adventure 23: Day 2 – Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, Palo Duro Canyon, & Route 66

The Adventuring Heidi

The second day of this year's rendition of the President's Day weekend adventure came as I stirred awake about 6:30am after a fitful night's sleep in the hotel. With a jammed packed agenda, it was quite alright I suppose, as we needed to start early. I quickly dressed, and we waited in the lobby for… Continue reading Presidential Adventure 23: Day 2 – Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, Palo Duro Canyon, & Route 66

The Adventuring Heidi

I guess this is a start of a tradition, as this was the second year in a row I headed out of state chasing new National Park excitement over Presidents Day weekend! This year I got the crazy idea to make a big loop down to Amarillo, Texas. I don't think most people seek out… Continue reading Presidential Adventure 23: Day 1 – Capulin Volcano National Monument

Thirty new National Park Service units. 52 Hike Challenge blown out of the water and completed months ahead of schedule.… Continue reading 2022 Adventuring – A Year in Review

Falling for Grand Teton: Day 5 – Signal Mountain, Jenny Lake, & Moose

The Adventuring Heidi

October 4, 2022 Well, "Falling for Yellowstone" would've been a strange name for an adventure day happening in Grand Teton National Park! The final day of adventure was here. We packed up the moist tent for the last time (it was a rockstar when it came to keeping us dry the entire trip!), and headed… Continue reading Falling for Grand Teton: Day 5 – Signal Mountain, Jenny Lake, & Moose
