Cave Creek Trail #4

Kuma on Trail #4

I didn’t post an adventure yesterday like I usually due because of the holiday. Dad had the day off, so we were able to go on an adventure. The weather was just wonderful, and we thought we better enjoy it while we can as the clouds were already rolling in. Rain is coming, and the […]

Kuma hikes Willow Creek Lake in Prescott

Kuma loves bouldering

We are starting the new year off with a bang! First, we did a 5.5-mile loop in Sedona, and this past weekend we went 6.5 miles. Wholly smokes. Let me back up. I knew we were going north on an adventure when we woke up on a Saturday when it was still dark. That’s the […]

Happy New Year from Brin’s Mesa in Sedona

Kuma enjoys views

  Happy New Year to you! Did you wait up for the new year to come? In my house, we go to sleep early so we can get up and out for a New Year’s Day hike. My mom heard somewhere that whatever you do on New Year’s, you will be doing all year long. […]

My Happy Holidays

Kuma goes hiking Christmas Eve

             I just love when my dad has some extra time off for the holidays! We were able to get two hikes in over the holiday weekend. The first was on Christmas Eve day, and it helped pass the time until Santa Paws came. With the weather being nice and cool, we were able to […]

Kuma enjoys a Snow Day in Flagstaff

Lava Cave in Flagstaff

One of my favorite things about this time of year is heading up north to play in the snow. Every year right before Christmas, we go on an SOS mission: search of snow. This year was a challenge because we have been quite dry. In fact, we’ve only had 15 days of measurable rain in […]

Christmas is Coming

Merry Christmas from Kuma

This is my mom’s favorite time of year. She decorates the entire house with three Christmas trees and plays Christmas music all day long. Dad puts up lights outside, grumbling all the way. I have to be a bit flexible as her schedule doesn’t always allow for big adventures, especially on baking day. On baking […]

There are No Bad Dogs – Just Bad Humans

Kuma graduates puppy school

  If I had a bone for every time a dog misbehaved, mom would never have to buy me treats again! Mom says, “there are no bad dogs – just bad humans,” and believes all dogs want to behave but need humans to train them properly. I would have to agree and feel bad for […]

Thanksgiving Hike at Deem Hills

Kuma on the P trail

Thanksgiving has come and gone already. Did you gobble ‘til you wobbled? We’ve been eating turkey every day. Yowsa! I now have the holiday weekend hangover! Anyway, we started our Thanksgiving Day off with a great hike to Deem Hills. We park at the east trail head, which is off 37th. Take W. Pinnacle Peak […]

Kuma Hikes The Apache Wash Trail

Kum and his mom hiking

I don’t know about you, but I am wondering where the cooler temperatures went. What happened? They appeared briefly then disappeared. Ugh! Warmer weather limits the length of our hikes, and since we didn’t have the time to drive north this weekend, we opted for a flat, local option: The Apache Wash trail. Oh, I […]

Adventures at Home

Edmond loves his tree

I’ve said it before: adventures come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, adventures are in your own backyard! This past weekend, we didn’t leave the house. Mom and Dad decided that just being home together was the adventure we needed. This year has involved a lot of stress due to COVID along with tons of […]
