On the way out of Gold Beach we hit up a local favorite Otter Point. There are two popular hiking trails located here..one takes you down to the beach while the other takes you out onto the rock formations above! It is rather easy to miss this amazing hike if you didn’t know it existed. When you’re leaving Gold Beach right after you pass over the Rogue River Bridge you want to take the road to the left which with…

Ahhh! So happy we’re actually officially on our Oregon adventure now. Exploring the Gold Beach and Brookings area. We are staying in the pet friendly cabins at Ireland’s Rustic Lodges. The cabins are just adorable. Comfortably fitting all four of us and we even have our own fireplace to keep us warm and cozy. The staff is extremely helpful and we only have to walk down a small path to be directly on the beach. After we ate breakfast at the…

Today I’m very much so regretting that I thought conditions weren’t bad enough for microspikes. I hike in California for goodness sake. I summit mountains that tower over the highest elevation in Ohio. I don’t need microspikes I told myself. I’m an avid hiker I said, this will be a walk in the park. I changed my mind quickly when I fell behind my hiking group because I could barely walk on the iced covered trail and they were just…

Lemon’s first snow hike and she made in back in one piece! Thank freakin goodness! I was worried about how the tiny monster would do in the snow and I’m here to report back that we finally found Lemon’s weakness. Turns out the pooch is a total freeze baby just like moi. (More on that later) We headed to the Cleveland Metroparks South Chagrin Reservations to check out two separate trails: Squaw Rock Loop Trail: A 0.6 mile loop hike bordering the…

Greetings from Winter Wonderland…or better known as North East Ohio. The first snow of every winter is just simply beautiful. There is almost no way to actually describe what the first snow of winter looks like, smells like, and feels like. It’s just so clean, so crisp, so pure and bright! But the novelty quickly wears off… remember snow only stays around when the temps are below freezing (that’s 32 degrees folks)..the salt and dirty snow gets on everything including but…

Wow!!! This place simply takes my breath away. I wasn’t exactly planning on stopping at Zion National park. I thought it’d take a different route… then last minute I decided to go.  I’m so glad I did. I can’t fully describe how this place makes you feel but there is something magical in the air. Some kind of nature escape peacefulness  that I’ve never felt before! Once again the Tiny Monster limited things but that’s a okay with me cause…

Here was the sunset on the drive out of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! Headed out to Page and checked into the La Quinta which was my absolute savior. The hotel is dog friendly!!!! Thank goodness….and like super dog friendly, no extra fees for a pet, you can leave the pet in the room while you go explore, and we even saw like 4 other pups in the hotel. Oh, and we got free breakfast.. Score! After my experience…

Ok car update. I noticed the tire pressure light on yesterday, after my off roading expedition and I decided I needed to take the rental to a local tire shop before leaving for the Grand Canyon. I also noticed that both front tires now had hub caps that didn’t exactly look how they did before. Uhoh!!!! Tire shop took a look. Both tires are fine, just had to get some air in the tires, phew! But the hub caps are…

So most of you don’t really have any idea how much of an actual beast Lemon is. I know I know,  you think I must be making this up for goodness sake she’s 5.6 lbs. Well my friends she’s crazy, just plain nuts. When we hike she starts to get angry about the pace (it’s just way too slow for her adventurous soul) So she bites at my ankles, shoes laces, and socks till the speed is more her pace….

Wow!!!  This is why I leave my home, my friends, and all the fun stuff going on to venture into the unknown …for days like this!  Let’s hike Cathedral Rock!!! Cathedral Rock impressed me greatly, I haven’t done a hike like this before. It’s a super short hike, only about 1.4 miles but the trail just has you crawling up the whole time.   You’ll start by parking in the Cathedral Rock Trailhead parking lot and then locate the Cathedral…
