Exploring Red Hollow Trail

Exploring Ding and Dang Canyons
Ding and Dang Canyon is an adventurous nine mile lollipop that enters one narrow canyon before exiting and following the next canyon back to the same turn off. We couldn't wait to see the geology, narrow slot sections and obstacles this trail had to offer!

Exploring Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument
With an abundance of hikes and even more spectacular views, the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument is definitely worth experiencing. It’s a beautiful area with lots to see and do for free or for a small fee! And it was not crowded like many places tend to be.

Exploring Pedestal Rocks in Arkansas
We had no expectations as we set off to explore Pedestal Rocks Scenic Area. The hike started off as an easy trail through a beautiful forest before revealing amazing views overlooking miles of forest. And then it turned into climbing and exploring awesome rock formations!

Paynes and Albert High Elevation Lakes
We found adventure, solitude and three gorgeous lakes in the Russian WIlderness! To keep it exciting, this hike requires some route finding as well as an opportunity to climb up a granite ridge to see what's on the other side!

The descent was steep and rocky with exciting steel cables to assist you as needed.

I measured and doodled, decided on a design and then bought a bunch of wood. (about $200 worth: 2”x12” boards, 2 sheets of ply wood, and hardware) We’ve camped in the truck bed before, but the uneven surface of the floor is uncomfortable.

As an artist I appreciate quality art, and we got to see a lot of one of my favorite styles of art, Graffiti! We got to see a ton of train cars with graffiti along the way.

We were ready to enjoy the sun and humidity of Florida, it was a change from the Northwest winter on…
