If you’re going to get stuck on a road trip, Glenwood Springs, Colorado is the place. Vail Pass (10,666' mountain pass over the Rocky Mountains) was closed due to a snowstorm so we enjoyed our extra day! We were here in April and this has become one of our favorite Colorado towns. There’s so much history (Doc Holliday stayed ...
Would you dare the depths of the Belly of the Dragon? This "cave" is actually a manmade tunnel to redirect drainage from the upper canyons under HWY 89 to the North Fork River just outside of Kanab, Utah. The water created this ripple effect that looks like you're going into the depths of a beast. It is a bit ...
If you love animals, then this hotel is for you! I've written about Best Friends Animal Society many times. We adopted our two dogs from Best Friends and we go back every year to volunteer at the sanctuary. (Which we highly recommend!) We are so excited that they recently built a hotel in Kanab, Utah which is located just ...
As we turned off Highway 20 in West Yellowstone onto a dirt road and drove under the log archway for Bar N Ranch, we could see the canvas tents in the distance of this beautiful, secluded, wide-open space. Wildflowers added pops of colors, horses were running in the pasture and the mountains layered the horizon. From that moment, we ...
What an incredible find! While staying in Kanab, Utah and volunteering at Best Friends Animal Society, we wanted to take a short trip to Lake Powell. I did some research but wasn't finding an ideal location especially since we were traveling with our dog and wanted to make it a quick trip. I visited the Kane ...
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. – Hans Hofmann This week I'm continuing to focus on keeping it simple. When our mind is cluttered, it's almost impossible to be creative or to know what we truly want. When we don't know what we want, we get ...
Keep it simple. The best things in life are right in front of you. I hear people say all the time that they wish they could do this or that based on what they see on social media. Today's "Mondays are for daydreaming" post is a reminder to put your phone down and see the inspiration ...
Kanab, Utah is the perfect home base while visiting one or all of the Mighty Five National Parks (Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion). It's also close to Lake Powell, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and so much more. The list goes on and on! On top of ...
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love, and then we return home. -Australian Aboriginal #QOTD #WHYIHIKE ©TracyBlowers
Big Hole Bagel & Bistro was our first stop for breakfast in Driggs, Idaho. It's so cozy and offers 100% organic locally roasted coffee from around the world! I loved the veggie omelet with the addition of avocado. The building is historic and has been part of Main Street for over 100 years. There is ...
Driggs, Idaho is a hidden gem! ✨ We always travel through the Teton Mountain Range on the east side and stay in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We started hearing great things about the west side and the Grand Targhee Resort music festivals. Their annual bluegrass festival has been happening for over 30 years. We couldn't wait ...
Be like the river. Create your own path. People will doubt you but they don't know what you've been through or your strength. Many have doubted the water but she always finds her way. xo ©Tracy Blowers
May is National Pet Month so I wanted to sneak this post in before we turn the page on our calendars. 🙂 Every year while volunteering at Best Friends Animal Society, we (of course!) discuss getting another dog or cat. We rescued our girl, Utah, when she was a puppy and this time we wanted to ...
It's a rainy day so I'm dreaming of camping, looking at photos from past trips and planning new ones. I love going through old pictures and reminiscing. One of the best things about living in the Twin Cities is the convenience of not having to travel too far to "get-away". We really enjoyed camping at Baker ...
