I am blessed that I have been able to work during the pandemic, and we did take some short road trips, but now I am fully vaccinated, and really wanted to check the Oregon Coast off my bucket list. Yachats, Oregon is super dog friendly! There is so much to do: casual walks along the…
We were lucky enough to do this dog friendly superbloom hike at Walker Canyon in Lake Elsinore California before it was shut down, please check to make sure it’s open before heading there:) The Walker Canyon hike in Lake Elsinore is just covered in Wildflowers. I know there are a lot of photos with Chico,…
All it took was one wildflower photo on Instagram in 2017 to send me on the search for my first Superbloom experience! People hadn’t seen wildflowers like these in over a decade! Being from Northern California and that it was still too early for the Superbloom here I had to head south a bit, and…
As soon as I pulled up to our campsite, I regretted only planning to be at Great Sand Dunes National Park for only one night. Our site, #20 had a good view of The Dunes as well as the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Before even setting our tent up, or hiking the dunes, this felt…
I have been on this odd quest to camp in as many national parks as I can with my dog Chico. It was the tail end of winter for us, the month of March, and we had cabin fever. I missed camping so much! But where to go? It was still snowing in Tahoe and…
Finally Made it to North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve! I have been wanting to go here for a year now, mostly to catch the wildflowers, but every time I looked at the weather it was 90 degrees, even this week in Mid May the window was small, it was 75 today, but projected to be 86…
The coastline from Little River just outside of Mendocino to Fort Bragg/ MacKerricher State Park is amazingly beautiful, and for the most part dogs are allowed on all coastal trails, some beaches, and most of these areas are free with parking and restrooms. Most of the areas are shorter 1 to 2 mile loops or…
The first part of our trip, we decided that we wanted to see some of Route 66 and camp at the Grand Canyon. This combined two of my favorite hobbies : Photographing old signs, and camping with my dog Chico. There are probably way too many photos in this post lol. The first night we…
Got back a few days ago from our wonderful camping road trip! Did you know most National Parks allow you to camp with your dog at developed campgrounds? We camped at Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountain National Park. At Grand Canyon dogs are allowed on all top side trails, but not into the canyon…which is fine…
We leave in 36 hours for another Epic Cross country camping and hiking trip! We’ve learned a lot since last year’s trip! And our other camping trips this year. First of all we will be renting a car. My car is up there on the mileage, and the car we are renting gets much better gas…
