Anyone else reminiscing about old adventures while Anyone else reminiscing about old adventures while new ones are put on hold? 🙋🏼‍♀️😢⁣ ⁣ Some of my most treasured memories have come from traveling in Ireland. The people, the green, the Guinness (no, I will LITERALLY never shut up about the Guinness). Also, nothing like coming across ancient monastic ruins in the middle of your hike 🇮🇪⁣ ⁣⁣ Wicklow Mountains National Park is one of my favorite spots for taking in natural beauty on the Emerald Isle. It gives you a taste of rugged Irish scenery—just an hour from Dublin. You can drive yourself, take public transportation...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ... or, you know, hitch hike 😬 I visited while volunteering at a local organic farm, so I thumbed it to the Glendalough Visitor Centre and explored from there. A TON of epic hikes of all difficulties leave from this spot! You pretty much can’t go wrong, unless you have something against lakes, valleys, panoramic views, and sheep. And if you do, unfollow me ✌️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you want inspiration for future adventurez, check out my guide to an awesome day of hiking in Wicklow Mountains National Park (link in bio 🍀)!
Celebrating red rocks today! ☀️⁣ ⁣ Packing Celebrating red rocks today! ☀️⁣ ⁣ Packing up our lives to move to southwest Colorado, which means we’ll be just a few hours from one of my favorite places on the planet 🧡 (Moab, UT) ⁣ ⁣ Moving during a pandemic is weird and stressful.⁣ ⁣ But in related red rock loving news, finally snagged a #HavasuFalls Permit THIS MORNING, after weeks of refreshing at 9am! It’s for late 2020, so fingers crossed the Havasupai reservation is accepting campers by then 😬⁣ ⁣ All things considered, today is a good day.

Have you ever heard of Garden of the Gods?⁣ ⁣ Have you ever heard of Garden of the Gods?⁣ ⁣ I hadn’t, until I moved to Colorado. And even here, there’s some confusion about what this area of dramatic vertical redrock actually is—is it a national park? A state park? A city park...? 🤔 As a former NPS Ranger, I think these designations are super fascinating!⁣ ⁣ Despite what Instagram’s (shamelessly incorrect) geotags would lead you to believe, Garden of the Gods is a National Natural Landmark. NNLs aren’t always public land, nor are they always private land. They’re kind of a mixed bag, but they’re ALL significant because of the biology, ecology, and/or geology they contain.⁣ ⁣ Garden of the Gods earned its NNL status thanks to clearly baller sedimentary rock formations, rare ant species, and excellent bird watching!⁣ Its easy hiking trails, rock climbing, and spectacular views of the Rockies and Pikes Peak are WELL worth a couple hours next time you’re in Colorado Springs! ⁣ ⛰🐜🦅
