  • by Alice

At the very end of the Arches Scenic Drive, you’ll find one of the most spectacular hiking areas in the park: Devils Garden. This is where many of the park’s most famous arches are located, including Landscape Arch, Double O Arch and the towering sandstone spire known as Dark Angel.

Hiking the Highline Trail: Logan Pass to The Loop

  • by Alice

Last Updated October 2025 When we planned our trip to Glacier National Park, the Highline Trail kept topping every list of unforgettable hikes. The photos were irresistible—alpine meadows, sweeping views, and that dramatic ledge high above the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR). But one detail gave us pause: the full round-trip from Logan Pass to the Granite Park Chalet and back is nearly 16 miles. That’s more than we wanted for a single day. After some digging, we found the perfect solution—a one-way version of the hike that still covers all the highlights, but without the exhausting return leg. By starting at… Read More »Hiking the Highline Trail: Logan Pass to The Loop

The Len Foote Hike Inn: A Perfect Fall Getaway in North Georgia

  • by Alice

Fall in North Georgia is magic. The mountains blaze with fiery reds and golden yellows, mornings are crisp, and the air smells of pine and earth. If you’re looking for something beyond a cabin rental or roadside overlook, there’s a hidden lodge that blends adventure and relaxation: the Len Foote Hike Inn. Tucked deep in the Chattahoochee National Forest above Amicalola Falls, this eco-lodge can only be reached on foot. Five miles of trail and about 1,200 feet of climbing stand between you and your bunk, making it one of the most unique getaways in Georgia. Whether you’re escaping Atlanta… Read More »The Len Foote Hike Inn: A Perfect Fall Getaway in North Georgia

Hiking the Caminito del Rey: Spain’s Most Thrilling Gorge Walk

  • by Alice

The Caminito del Rey provides a refreshing (and exhilarating!) escape into nature. It isn’t just a spectacular hike, though — it is also a perfectly placed stop between Granada and Ronda, breaking up our drive with fresh air and canyon views.

Grand Canyon Hike to Phantom Ranch

  • by Alice

The sweeping scale of the canyon, the colorful rock layers, the ever-changing vistas, seem inconceivable to the human mind. Seen from the rim, the canyon is amazing and impressive, but by hiking down, it can be appreciated on a completely different level. Our Grand Canyon hike to Phantom Ranch with two nights at PR was an exhilarating experience.

Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail, Glacier National Park

  • by Alice

We planned two big hikes for our time in Glacier National Park, the Highline Trail and the hike to Grinnell Glacier. Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail ranks high on our list of amazing adventures. This is a world class hike! The impressive Grinnell Glacier is on the northern side of Mount Gould and sits at about 7,000 feet. The hike features stunning jeweled lake views, alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers, the chance to spot wildlife, and the prize – ending at the foot of the Grinnell Glacier and its incredible setting. Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail is the only way… Read More »Hiking the Grinnell Glacier Trail, Glacier National Park
