A Fall Day in Flagstaff

Kuma at the Arboretum

  Ah. I think fall is finally here to stay! We’ve had the screen doors open, letting in the cool, refreshing air. In hopes of seeing some fall color, we headed up to Flagstaff for the day. We got up at O-Dark-Thirty, aka, really early to beat the traffic and got to Munds Park in […]

Kuma Loves Tramonto Park

Kuma at the park

  I’ve had a new brother for a little over a week now. Our introduction was a bit awkward, but once we both figured out that we were brothers, we’ve been getting along swell. Mowgli is definitely a player, and I’ve had to re-learn how to do that. Edmond was old and frail, so I […]

Kuma goes back to Bismarck Lake in Flagstaff

Kuma spends time in nature

I hope you have been getting outdoors to enjoy our fabulous, fall weather. I truly love this time of year. When we head up north now, it isn’t to cool off but to enjoy the mountains and see the changing of the leaves. With all the wind we have had, though, I think the season […]

A Birthday Trip to Colorado

Kuma and his family at falls

Happy birthday to me and my mom! Our birthdays are only four days apart, so we usually celebrate both of them together with an adventure trip. I knew we were in for a long haul when dad put the topper on the truck. I heard the word Colorado and got excited. That’s my old stomping […]

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 […]
