The trial is a mix of slickrock, sand and hard packed surfaces. When we started the hike the temperatures were around 60 degrees and when we finished about 95!At just over 7 miles and we highly recommend this hike! After the hike we…

The canyon is part of the Navajo Nation and has been closed due to Covid; we were thrilled that the canyon tours had opened again. Our tour was with “Ken’s Tours” started at 8:30am. Our weather was perfect with bright blue skies and warm temperatures! The rules…

We hiked the area for about 2 hours, flew the drone and explored the entire White Pocket area! Words, photos and video can’t capture the beauty of this area.Our tour…

Our travels continue and this week we made a stop just outside of Las Vegas at Red Rock Canyon. We camped at Red Rock Canyon Campground just a mile from Red Rock Canyon. While in the Vegas area we experienced a lot of wind…one day gusts up to 50mph! Red Rock Canyon is an amazing area just 17 miles from the Vegas Strip! We also explored Valley of Fire State Park about an hour from Las Vegas…a beautiful, jaw dropping state park. This park was as impressive as any national park…Our stay ended with a delicious night out at…
