On our last full day in England, we made our way back down to Cornwall and decided to take a hike down memory lane to Golitha Falls.

After spending 1 full day in Grand Teton National Park, the weather report called for rain all day. We decided to outrun the rain and drive further north to Yellowstone National Park.
Ahhh, the internet. Such a great resource for finding new places to explore… Like the “secret” waterfall in Madera Canyon of Arizona. Just mention the words “waterfall” and “Arizona” and we’re all ears.
The Romero Pools Trail is an absolutely beautiful and rewarding hike in Catalina State Park, Tucson. This is our third time conquering this moderately strenuous day hike, always opting to do it in the early part of the year. Our first time visiting the pools was in March 2010 and second time in February of 2015. For 2018, we made it our first adventure of the year.
Just 40 minutes north east of the Cascadian Home Farm (where they serve delicious home made ice cream), is the beautiful Diablo Lake reservoir.
Our 10-day trip home to Washington State for the holidays was spent with family, food, and… the flu. But we did manage to get a couple excursions in, like a hike through the Robe Canyon Historic Trail near Granite Falls.
The Historic Columbia River Highway is a beautiful and winding 75-mile scenic highway in Oregon. With dozens of scenic viewpoints and trails just off of the road, it’s the perfect day-trip drive near Portland.
After several days of exploring castles, tombs, and other historical sites, we were in need of change of pace (mind you, we were already going 90mph). So instead of going 90, we bumped it up a notch to 120 and drove 4 hours to the Isle of Skye.
Side note: We weren’t really going 120mph, mom.
Continuing our first day of adventures in Scotland, we headed to Craighat to find a narrow 100ft deep hidden gorge called the Finnich Glen. Finnich Glen, overall, is often referred to as the Devil’s Pulpit but the Devil’s Pulpit is actually a specific rock within Finnich Glen. Multiple directions to Finnich Glen / the Devil’s Pulpit found online weren’t that specific so upon arrival, we decided to follow a group of walkers who looked like they knew where they were going. We figured they were locals who knew the area.
Turns out, they didn’t know either.
Tanque Verde Falls was near the bottom of our 2016 Arizona To Do list. We were out and about running errands and decided to hit up this short hike to the falls while we were out. What a surprise we had! We’ve never driven out near Reddington Pass but the towering saguaros on both sides of the road made for a beautiful trip. What was even more surprising was what we saw on the trail.
