Maui’s beach parks feature plenty of beautiful waterfalls, some easier to get to than others. Twin Falls is one of the easiest ones to access, only a short hike away from the road. It’s one of the first stops on the Road to Hana, the island’s most famous scenic drive. The name “Twin Falls” is […]
The Million Dollar Highway in Colorado is kept open year-round for anyone to travel. However, taking this route during the winter can sometimes be tricky or even dangerous, so make sure you’re prepared. Heavy snowfall will often temporarily close the road until it can be cleared away, and even a light dusting of snow can […]
The best way to spend a day in Sedona, Arizona, will depend on what you’re interested in. There are lots of things to do in the city and sadly you can’t do them all in a single day. Most people come to Sedona for the scenery and to do some hiking. The red rock canyons […]
Maui’s beach parks are beautiful year-round, but we’d recommend visiting in April or May if you get the choice. The weather during this time is pretty mild, usually in the 70s and 80s, and the spring is in between two busy seasons so the crowds won’t be too bad. April is also when the Maui […]

Lake Powell is fed by the Colorado River, which Horseshoe Bend is a part of. However, the two bodies of water are separated by the Glen Canyon Dam so you can’t just take the river down from Horseshoe Bend all the way to Lake Powell. Still, the two places are very close and it’s easy […]
While Sedona isn’t as warm as Phoenix, it’s still in the middle of the desert, so you should be prepared for some heat. In the winter, Sedona experiences mild weather, typically reaching the 50s during the day and getting down to the 30s at night. If you’re not a warm-weather person, we’d recommend visiting either […]
There are no private beaches on Maui, so the public has access to all Maui beach parks on the island. Hawaii law states that all land below the high tide mark is automatically owned by the state, so even beaches next to private homes are still open to the public. However, you can’t cross private […]
Unfortunately, you can’t hike down to the bottom of Horseshoe Bend from the overlook. The cliffs are too steep and there’s no way to safely make your way down to the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon. However, you can experience the curve from the bottom if you travel along the river itself. […]
