When we are looking at all the activities in the area, we start listing ideas as weekend or midweek. The weekend activities are determined by the longer length of the activity, the distance to the location or activities that should be combined together. The midweek activities need to be something that can be done in the time we have after …
Keith had been reading online about the off-road trails near Panguitch. We decided to stop in at the local ranger station to talk with a knowledgeable ranger about what would suit us best.

Our end goal was to simplify our lives, live debt free and explore the world. Our first big step was downsizing to a townhouse, which would also …
I have been looking forward to backcountry skiing since we moved to Utah almost 18 months ago. However, it took quite some time to acquire the necessary knowledge and equipment to be able to safely navigate the Wasatch backcountry. I have to say that it was definitely worth the wait!

Geological features called hoodoos are what make this park so special. The hoodoos are odd-shaped pillars of rock formed by erosion. Hoodoos can be found on every continent, but Bryce Canyon has the …
Our evening at Kodachrome was so impressive that Keith and I rushed back for more! Read our previous post, Kodachrome Basin State Park, for more information. The views are beyond gorgeous and we felt like we found a real hidden gem. Immediately we knew we wanted to explore more of this park. Lexi was worn out from being with us the …
Skiing is… well… EXPENSIVE!!! Yet skiing is totally worth it. However, even the most diehard skiers still want to be wise with the cash that they drop on their favorite sport.
