Subscribe for More! Middle Fork Waterfall Last updated: July 15, 2020     Middle Fork Waterfall is a waterfall located near Richmond, Utah. What makes this waterfall special is the steepness of the ground it runs on. Because the ground is a bit steep, it makes for some great cascades! You can also climb to the top of the waterfall where it comes out of the mountain! Trailhead Sign   I recommend checking  Alltrails  for reviews and current trail updates. You could even follow me on there if you wanted! The link is  here. Directions-     To get to this waterfall, you need to go to an area about five miles north of Richmond, this area is called Cove. While driving north, you will see a turn off from the highway. It will be a brown sign saying there are a campground and trailhead up the road.  This road is called High Creek Road.       You will follow this road all the way up the canyon. The pavement ends about 4.5 miles up the road, so take a vehicl

Subscribe for More! --> Bonneville Shoreline Trail Section: Green Canyon-Logan Canyon Last updated: July 15, 2020 What is the Bonneville Shoreline Trail?     The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is a trail that follows the shoreline of the ancient Lake Bonneville. This trail is hoped to one day be 280 miles long. It will stretch from the Idaho-Utah border, down to Nephi, Utah. At this moment in time, a little over 100 miles of trail is maintained and considered part of The Bonneville Shoreline Trail. For more information including maps, geology, and history, click here.  Today, I will only be focusing on the part of the trail which reaches from Green Canyon to Logan Canyon.  This section of the trail is almost 4 miles in length and gains only 593 feet of elevation.  Directions-     To get to this section of the Bonneville Shoreline trail, you can go one of two ways. The first option is going to Green Canyon and hiking towards Logan Canyon. This route

High Line/Riverside Trail in Logan Canyon, Utah Last updated: June 16, 2020 How to Get There: High Line Trail    If you are familiar with Logan Canyon, you most likely know about the Dams. Many of the trailheads within Logan Canyon start near First Dam. First Dam is where the hike I took started, along with many others, such as the Bonneville Shoreline trail.    To get to the First Dam, you simply need to head to Logan Canyon. (There are many signs withing Logan which point you to Logan Canyon.) Once you are almost to the canyon, you will pass the University and start going down a dip. Now please note that the turn off to get to first dam is at the bottom of this hill! You will see a place to turn and park in a parking lot. You need to park in this parking lot.  View into Cache Valley The Hike:    Once you have all your water, snacks, first aid kit, and whatever else you may need, head back to where you pulled in from the main road and you should see a tunnel.

I will be sharing with you what I did and what you must see and do!  The main attraction of Skagway would be the White Pass Railroad.  The White Pass Railroad station and pickup site are one of the first things you see when coming from the cruise ships. You should take the chance and ride this train! It had beautiful scenery and we even crossed into British Columbia before we turned around. (No you do not need a passport to go.) Below are some of the photos I took while riding the train.  A beautiful river The back of the train Another River The Border As you can see, the rivers were a stunning shade of blue. This shade of blue indicates silt in the water. There is silt in the water because a glacier was ca

I wish I could have spent more time here. It was AMAZING! Since I was on a cruise, I only had about five hours to spend here. My mom had wanted us to go see Mendenhall Glacier, so we decided we would. The only thing bad about it, the glacier is clear across town! And we choose to take the bus. *To all of you going to Juneau, please do not take the bus, take a cab!* Mendenhall Glacier Pros to Taking the Bus: I was able to see more of Juneau than I would have in a cab More space to sit Cons to Taking the Bus: We had to walk a mile and a half to still get to the glacier (A cab would have taken us all the way there) A cab is more direct than a bus. While on the bus we had to go the bus route.  The cab was able to pick us

Since we had to drive around a bay to get to the other peninsula, it took us around two hours to arrive in Seward. The trip to Seward was very scenic. You have to go around the bay, which is famous for Alaska's mud fields. We saw some Dal Sheep on the way there, and we stopped and took some pictures. When we were traveling on this road, they had road work going on. Since there is only one road from Anchorage to Seward, it caused a few delays. These were some of the pictures of the Bay. Seward In Seward there is really only one restaurant open during the offseason, called the "The Breeze Inn".  I had their French Toast, and I highly recommend it! In town, there is a memorial in honor of the biggest earthquake in Alaska in 1964 that ki
