I was beyond excited when my sister, Jill, booked her trip to Salt Lake City, Utah! Not only would I see my sister, but also my nearly 1 year old niece, Adalyn.

Keith and I finally made the scenic drive around Utah Lake and it was everything we thought it would be… plus so much more! We packed up the jeep with Lexi and some snacks in search of some great views. It was fun to explore a new area so close to home. Keith and I moved to Utah Valley in …

I’m knocking on wood for all the things that just came to mind. One of the top contenders for reasons why I don’t like to hike, backpack, canyoneer, etc. is snakes. …
As part of our Snowbird season passes, we get Wasatch Benefits. When you buy a season pass from one of the follow resorts; Alta, Deer Valley, Snowbird or Solitude; you get two complementary day tickets to the other three resorts.
