Surprises in the Northwest Desert of AZ

Greeters at Oatman

  I can hardly believe we are approaching the Memorial Day weekend already. I don’t know what my family has planned yet, but you will read about it! I wanted to wrap up Mom and Dad’s trip to Bullhead City, Arizona today. Should you ever go, they recommend the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel is […]

A Weekend in Bullhead City, AZ

The Riverwalk

  I am bummed to say I was not included in this weekend’s getaway. The temperatures rose too high, so I stayed home with my brother. I’m glad Mom got to go and celebrate since she’s always looking after us. Mom and Dad headed to Bullhead City, Arizona, by going through Wickenburg and connecting to […]

Saguaro National Park East in Tucson

Great day in Tucson

  If you read my blog last week, you know my family took me down to Tucson for the day. We discovered a great park and enjoyed a picnic by the pond. On our way out of Agua Caliente Park, we saw a sign for Saguaro National Park. This confused Dad for a moment because […]

A Scenic Drive on Castle Hot Springs Road

The Sonoran Desert

               Doggone it. I tweaked my ankle again stepping off a curb wrong walking the neighborhood. Mom saw it happen in slow-motion, and there wasn’t anything she could do. I twisted the same ankle that just healed up for the second time. Boo. No hiking this weekend, but a scenic drive and picnic would […]

A Hike in the Superstitions with Superblooms

Wildflowers galore

  Just when we think the flowers cannot get any prettier, they do! What an amazing wildflower season this is turning out to be. I’m getting ahead of myself, but if you haven’t seen them yet, this might be a scenic drive for you. We set out to go hiking at the Lost Dutchman State […]

A Picnic at Bartlett Lake

Kuma and his family have a picnic with a view

  So many adventures, so little time to tell you about them! We’ve been busy getting outside and enjoying our awesome weather…finally. I have several adventures in the bag already, but I’ll start with a recent picnic we took at Bartlett Lake. From North Phoenix, the drive is just over an hour one way. The […]

Epic Snow in Munds Park

Lots and lots of snow

Yowsa! Not only has the temperature been cold, but the state of Arizona is receiving epic snow amounts up north. At our house tonight, we could see snow flurries. What a winter! Anyway, we couldn’t resist all the fresh powder and headed back up to Munds Park to play. We saw on the morning news […]

A Drive through the Salt River Canyon

Driving the Salt River Canyon

What a storm! I haven’t seen this much rain since we lived in Houston, Texas. Wet indeed! My brother and I don’t mind as it makes great napping weather. And when I snooze, I can relive any adventure I want! It dawned on me that I hadn’t finished sharing about our trip to Show Low, […]

Snow Day in Munds Park

Oh boy, snow!

  If you recall, our New Year’s Day snow shoeing tradition was rained out this year. We had to bail and turn back home. Imagine my surprise after driving for 1 ½ hours only to be back at the same place we started. Very strange indeed! I was quite confused for a few moments, but […]

Kuma Returns to the Grand Mesa, CO

One of many lakes

I hope you found my last blog informative and helpful regarding traveling with doggos. Not every dog is comfortable with adventure travel, so know your dog’s limits and take those into consideration. Even though I turn 14 on the 26th of September, I am still up for exploring! While we were recently in Grand Junction, […]
