Hiking the Bear Sign Trail in Sedona

Bear Sign Trail is six miles

What did you do for Halloween this year? My family took me up to Sedona for a hike. We got up super early to try and beat the traffic because lately it has been so congested that it takes over an hour to get to Rock Springs Café, which should be only 18 minutes away […]

Camping at Enchanted Rock in Texas

Enchanted Rock loop trail

             I can’t believe we have lived in Phoenix six years now. Wow – how time flies! Since moving here, we got a camper trailer. Mom loves having a frig with ice and a human bathroom. Dad appreciates not having to sleep on the ground, which we used to do. In fact, while living in […]

Kuma Explores Taos, New Mexico

Kuma at Taos Ski resort

Hello! I hope you’ve had a good week. As promised, I will share about the second half of my birthday trip to New Mexico. Mom’s only experience with Taos was in the 90s, and dad and I have never been, so off to Taos we went. The road to Taos from Angel Fire is super […]

Lady Moon Trail Near Red Feather Lakes in Colorado

Lady Moon trail

I know I have said it before, but it is one hot summer! In Phoenix, we’ve had 34 days and counting when the temperature is above 110. That’s just too much for this Colorado dog! I guess that is why I keep reminiscing of days gone by and remembered the Lady Moon Trail near Red […]

Kuma hikes Apache Wash in Northern Phoenix

Kuma goes hiking

I sure enjoy the cooler season here in Phoenix. It means we can hike more local trails instead of heading up north. Since my folks abandoned me on Saturday to go motorcycling without me, they took me on a Sunday morning hike to make up for it. I forgive them. We drove over to the […]

Kuma enjoys the West Fork Trail in Sedona

One of Arizona's prettiest hikes

My folks confused me this past Friday. Friday is usually park day and oh how I love doing the grass dance and seeing all my buddies! Instead of driving to the park, though, we kept on going and going. I should have known something was up when the drink cooler was in the car. We […]

Kuma celebrates his birthday at Sunset Crater in Flagstaff

Views of Lockette Meadow

           You’ve probably heard me say how my mom and I are like peas and carrots. Well, it is true! Our birthdays are even close together, and we can celebrate them together. Every year we go on some great adventure, and this time we opted to camp at the Sunset Crater in Flagstaff. Mom and […]

Cool temps remind Kuma of a time when he visited Lost Maples State Park

Kuma loves hiking up

Although known for fall color, Lost Maples State Park is a super fun place to explore any time. I know because my family and I visited when we lived in the Houston area. Lost Maples is located five miles north of Vanderpool on Ranch Road 187 in Hill Country. Once again, we stayed at the […]

Kuma gets into the Christmas spirit!

Kuma gets into the Christmas spirit

Being a mountain dog, I was eager to explore Texas hill country when we lived there. My humans were kind enough to plan a trip to Fredericksburg so we could do just that. The drive is a little over four hours from the Houston area, but we stopped in a lovely town called Boerne. They […]

Kuma heads to the hills to see some fall color

King Kuma enjoys hill country

             I love fall! The temperatures cool off, and my family often heads to higher elevation to see the leaves change. While living in the Houston area, we enjoyed the Bastrop area, south of Austin, about two and a half hours away. What a great place! They are very dog friendly with several restaurants in […]
