These are hands down the 10 biggest mistakes everyone makes when traveling to Big Sur! I have been to Big Sur many times now and can personally attest to many of these first-timer mistakes, ha. 🙂

Antelope Canyon is easily the most famous slot canyon in the USA! Most people know about the tours that will walk you through two parts of the canyon, one is the upper slot canyon and the other is the lower slot canyon. You must pay a fee, sign up for a tour time, and you are herded through the canyon with a large tour group of people.

BUT what most people don’t know is that you can also kayak to a portion of Antelope Canyon. Located at Antelope Point Marina, you can rent kayaks for the day and kayak through Lake Powell to get to it.

Click to read my honest opinion of this kayaking adventure :)

Did you know that it's possible to kayak Antelope Canyon from Lake Powel? Most people don't know that you can see the slot canyon this way!

Are you ready for an epic 2 days in Yosemite?! This itinerary is perfect for first timers because you will get to see all of the must-see sights, do a few scenic hikes, hopefully spot some wildlife, and have tons of photography opportunities!

Yosemite is by far my favorite national park to date, and I have no doubt it will be yours too! The views around every corner are absolutely breath-taking. I caught myself saying, “WOW this is so beautiful,” about 100x a day, ha!

Have you ever wanted to travel to a destination SO bad and hyped it up SO much in your mind that when you finally got there… it didn’t live up to your expectations? Well, I am happy to say the Big Sur is not one of those places. I have been itching to travel to this area for some time now and it was more beautiful than ever expected.

It’s hard to describe the jaw-dropping, natural beauty of this corner of the world. I will describe the beauty and share my photos, but it truly does not do it justice. The Big Sur is one of those places that you MUST go see for yourself!

Planning a trip to Sin City? Now that the flights are booked and itinerary is set, the panic is setting in… WHAT THE HECK DO I PACK FOR LAS VEGAS!?

Girl, you are not alone. There are so many mixed opinions on packing for Vegas, it’s hard to get a straight-forward answer! Lucky for you, I was born and raised in this amazing city and know exactly what is and is NOT appropriate to wear.

In this incredibly detailed, 3,000 word guide, I sectioned it by tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, swim, accessories, and miscellaneous. I know this will seem like a lot of information, but I promise it is all useful with direct links to make your packing list for Vegas as easy as possible.

Are you ready to hike the best hike in Bryce Canyon!? The Navajo Loop Trail is not only my favorite trail in Bryce Canyon, but might be my favorite hike EVER.

What I hate about most hikes is that the actual hike isn’t beautiful, just the viewpoint. And when you finally get to the viewpoint, you sit there for a few minutes and then turn around and hike back down. The Navajo Loop trail is different… The steep descent into the canyon, walking through the trees along the base of the canyon and outstanding views on the way back up made the entire hike beautiful.

Are you wondering what the most underrated city in Utah is?! Kanab is one of the most scenic, non-touristy and adventure packed cities I’ve traveled to. Sure, it might not be one of those cities that you travel from all over the world to see, but it definitely has it’s charm! If you are on the west coast exploring other national parks, I think it is definitely worth it to take an extra day to visit this off-the-beaten path town.

Clearwater Beach was named #1 beach in the U.S. by Trip Adviser in 2018 – and for good reason! This 2.5 mile stretch of fluffy white sand and breathtaking sunsets is the perfect hub for your vacation. I have been so many times to visit my sister, and on almost every vacation we have done one of these day trips from Clearwater Beach.

Not only is Clearwater Beach a vacation in and of itself, but it’s only a few hours drive to some of my favorite spots in the world!

If you are planning spend one day in Death Valley, Badwater Basin should definitely be on the list of things to see! Not only because it is one of the coolest places in the park, but because it is extremely close to other popular sights like Artist’s Palette, Devil’s Golf Course, and Golden Canyon!

When I traveled to Death Valley in February of 2020, I read TONS of guides on visiting the park! But even after reading practically every guide on the internet, there were still a lot of things that shocked me and wish I knew before going! So after you are done reading this guide, you will truly know everything there is to know about visiting the Salt Flats…

Usually when you are a local, you avoid the touristy areas of town as much as possible. Us “Vegas Locals” avoid touristy sites like The Strip, Hoover Dam, and Grand Canyon, but Downtown is different. Every time my friends want to go out or celebrate a birthday, Downtown is where we go time and time again.

I have been to every single bar in the downtown area (many times) and I can attest that these are by far the BEST bars in downtown Las Vegas!

Commonwealth, Corduroy, Oddfellows, Gold Spike, Hogs & Heifers Saloon, The Griffin, Park on Fremont, & Nacho Daddy

Sometimes I think about all the money I spend traveling so far from home, when there is amazing places so close to me that I haven’t seen yet! This year (2020), I wanted to make more of an effort to explore my own backyard + neighboring areas. I have lived in Las Vegas my ENTIRE life and didn’t make it out to Death Valley until now… Yikes.
