The name “Death Valley” was invented by a group of ill-fated pioneers known as the Lost ’49ers. Their story begins in the late 1840s when a man named James Marshall discovered gold in the Sierra Nevada foothills, beginning the famous California Gold Rush. Thousands of people traveled west to make their fortunes in the foothills, […]
The largest American national park outside of Alaska, Death Valley is famous for its extreme climate. It is the driest spot in all of North America, receiving only two inches of rain each year. Death Valley is also the hottest place on the continent, with the summer months regularly reaching temperatures of over 120 degrees […]
If you look at a map of the Hawaiian Islands, you’ll see eight major islands and over 100 tiny ones. Of those eight, there are four that are usually referred to as the “main islands:” Hawai’i (aka the Big Island), Maui, O’ahu, and Kaua’i. If you’re visiting Hawaii as a tourist, there’s a good chance […]
There are a few things that make Haleakala the best place to watch the sunrise in Maui. The first is complete visibility. The Haleakala volcano covers about 75% of the island of Maui, so the highest point of the volcano is also the highest point of the island. From the summit, there’s nothing whatsoever blocking […]
Baldwin Beach Park encompasses the beach itself and a few facilities closer to the road. While it’s called a park, the real draw here is the beach, which is one of the most beautiful in Maui. Baldwin Beach is most well-known for surfing and boogie boarding in the winter when the waves get rougher, but […]
The water at the bottom of Horseshoe Bend is the Colorado River, the same river that runs through the Grand Canyon. The temperature of the water in Colorado averages around 50 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, so we wouldn’t necessarily recommend swimming in it. However, taking a kayak, canoe, or raft down the river is a great […]
If you’re planning on just seeing the city itself, we’d recommend light sneakers or sandals when visiting Sedona. The weather there is warm year-round, so heavy shoes can get uncomfortably hot when you’re walking around town. However, if you’re going hiking, we’d recommend hiking shoes or boots even on the easiest trails. Regular shoes tend […]
Baldwin Beach Park in Maui is one of the most popular spots for surfing, bodyboarding, and swimming. You can swim in the ocean straight from the beach or you can head to the two protected swimming locations on either end – Baldwin Cove to the east and Baby Beach to the west. It’s worth noting, […]
In the summer, we’d recommend wearing any comfortable warm-weather clothing for your visit to Horseshoe Bend. The walk isn’t especially strenuous or long, so you don’t have to worry too much about hiking gear. The sun, however, can be pretty brutal in Page during the summer, with temperatures generally in the 80s and 90s and […]
Winters in Sedona are fairly mild, making them the perfect time to visit if you’re not a big fan of the desert heat. While temperatures frequently hit triple digits during the summer, a winter trip to Sedona offers temps in the 60s during the day and the 30s at night. We’d recommend packing layers so […]
