Off the Beaten Path Hiking and Rock Scrambling in Joshua Tree National Park
We absolutely love hiking and rock scrambling in Joshua Tree National Park! While we were camping at Sheephole Wilderness we headed out to explore the area and we ventured into an off the beaten path hike in Joshua Tree National Park. We were in a granite boulder heaven! And this is now one of our favorite spots for rock scrambling in Joshua Tree National Park. Read on to see why :)

Hike to Mopah Spring | Hiking in Turtle Mountain Wilderness
After spending some time camping in the Turtle Mountain Wilderness, we had explored quite a bit around our campsite. But we were excited to hike to Mopah Spring so we could see what it looked like further in the canyon and to find the palm oasis! It was hard to believe there was water anywhere around! So we set off on our adventure.

Dispersed Camping in Turtle Mountain Wilderness
The Turtle Mountain Wilderness is a protected area of Mohave Desert that ranges from sprawling shrubs and washes to eroded cliffs and dramatic volcanic plugs. Camping in Turtle Mountain Wilderness is a great way to experience the area. The peaceful natural setting is a relaxing place to set up camp but it also provides a good opportunity to hike and explore the Mopah Range as well as spot wildlife.

Beautiful and Peaceful Hiking Elliot Ridge Trail to Meridian Peak
Elliot Ridge Trail is a long but moderate hike that stays above the treeline and offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains, particularly of the Eagles Nest Wilderness. And when it comes to difficulty, this hike was one of the most mellow hikes we have done in Colorado yet. There is still a decent amount of up and down but the grades are much more gentle. And yet we were still able to bag a peak!

Hiking in Crested Butte | Hiking Teocalli Peak
Hiking Teocalli Peak is a steep, challenging adventure to a very rewarding summit! The views from atop Teocalli are truly incredible - extremely beautiful, vast and surprisingly colorful. We had done a bit of hiking in the Crested Butte area but we had yet to experience a Colorado summit. And there are so many trails and peaks to choose from in the area! We were really happy with our decision to hike Teocalli Peak.
