Horseback Riding Adventures In Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park is a place you need to see to believe. The unbelievable and surreal landscape is like something out of a science fiction novel. Crimson “hoodoos” fill the landscape for as far as the eye can see down into the canyon below. The park has a 18 mile scenic drive that takes you to a bunch of amazing viewpoints. This drive is a great way to begin your visit because you’ll be able to get a good sense of the park and get all of the eye candy you’ll want to see right away!  Believe me you’ll just stand in awe of the tall spires in front of you and marvel at the bright orange landscape. What better way to head down into the canyon on a thrilling guided horseback adventure!?

 

Being situated at 8,000-9,000ft in elevation, hiking around the park can be a bit of a challenge for those not acclimated, though totally worth it, even if you need to take frequent breaks.To give your legs and lungs a break, take a horseback ride down into the canyon! We had opted to go with Canyon Trail Rides for our trip and loved every minute of it!

 

Exploring the Ancient Musandam Peninsula, Oman

When I was planning a trip to the UAE I randomly came across a website for a company called Absolute Adventures, running trekking trips in nearby Dibba, Oman. Our itinerary up to that point consisted largely of touring cities, and this looked like a great opportunity to escape for a little while to what looked to be an unbelievably scenic place. When you're given the opportunity to go hiking in Oman, you take it!

 

(Not Really) Roughing It at Housekeeping Camp

Ever dream of sleeping comfortably under the stars and waking up to a view of one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world? Yes!? Then you need to go glamping in the Yosemite Valley!

Yosemite National Park is approximately a four hour drive West of San Francisco, CA and has some of the most incredible sights in the world. The park itself is MASSIVE, but a good chunk of it is easily accessible by car, shuttle or on foot. There are many accommodation options both inside and outside of the park but my favorite is a stay at Housekeeping Camp.
