										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-left">We booked our trip to Amsterdam back in June and honestly it felt like it would never get here but it finally did! We got a solid deal ($585 RT pp) on our tickets using Google Flights like I outlined previously <a href="http://beautahfulworld.com/index.php/2017/04/07/how-to-find-the-best-flight-deals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>. Our dates were set, but our destination was open so we just waited to see what interesting destinations showed up cheaply and Amsterdam was it! While we had a bit longer, if you are short on time, check out this post on how to spend <a href="https://www.travelforyourlife.com/2-days-in-amsterdam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2 days in Amsterdam</a>.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left">As far as planning goes, once again we used our favorite trusty companion &#8211; Rick Steves to help organize the trip and tour us around. I would recommend using his books for any trip to Europe.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p>If you&#8217;re going to Amsterdam, it&#8217;s especially important to book your tickets to the Anne Frank House 2 months in advance to avoid waiting in line for hours. This was one of the tips suggested by Rick Steves and it was very helpful.</p>



<p>After booking our flights, we decided to take one trip outside of Amsterdam and go to Belgium. Austin picked the destination &#8211; Bruges, Belgium and I was not involved in this part of the trip planning at all. We rented a car and drove there, stayed the night and then came back to Amsterdam via Antwerp.</p>



<p>In Bruges, we stayed at the most adorable boutique hotel &#8211; Hotel Van Cleef.</p>

<p>The town of Bruges was quaint and walkable. You were able to get from one side of the town to the other in about 30 minutes.</p>

<p>Bruges was amazing &#8211; although it felt like we were some of the youngest tourists there. We then continued on to Antwerp. #Funfact: Antwerp is the diamond capital of the world. There is also a lot of traffic &#8211; just be forewarned!</p>

<p>From there we headed to Amsterdam and stayed in an Airbnb. If you haven&#8217;t ever stayed in an Airbnb before, it&#8217;s definitely something you should consider if you want more of a local feel. If you use this <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/c/andreac18110" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link</a>, you will get $40 off your first stay. In Amsterdam, we ended up with a large studio apartment in a very central location for cheaper than we would have paid for a hotel.</p>



<p>The first spot we checked out was a local brown café that is reminiscent of the days when you could smoke tobacco inside, despite that currently being illegal. These are cozy places &#8211; perfect for a drink.</p>

<p>This was a fabulous trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here in Europe. Can&#8217;t wait to go back!</p>



<p>After this trip, some of my favorite Belgium travel tips are:</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Typically You&#8217;ll Have to Pay for Water, but You Won&#8217;t Need to Tip</strong> &#8211; In Belgium, you&#8217;ll enjoy high standards when it comes to public health. Therefore, most tap water is safe to drink. However, if you order tap water in a restaurant, you might encounter a few raised eyebrows. That&#8217;s because it is much more common to purchase a bottle of water than to request tap water. Alternatively, eateries are happy to provide complimentary bread, and tipping is not required. Funnily enough, you may find it more affordable to buy a beer than tap water.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Cash Payments are Rounded to the Nearest €0.05</strong> &#8211; While €0.01 and €0.02 coins are still legal in Belgium, many establishments don&#8217;t actually use them. Therefore, you&#8217;ll find that most merchants round all cash transactions either up or down to the nearest €0.05.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Always Have Coins Handy for the Bathroom</strong> &#8211; Like most countries in Europe, many people prefer to use cards as opposed to cash in Belgium. Despite this, it&#8217;s always a good idea to have some spare change handy since you&#8217;ll likely need to pay to use older toilets. This is important since some service stations along the highway and larger restaurants charge for restroom access. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Skip the French Fries and Eat Frites Instead</strong> &#8211; Have you ever dipped your fries in Mayonaise? If not then you need to try it In Belgium. After all, Belgian fries and mayo are the perfect pair.  Just remember that Belgium is the birthplace of friets/frites and not French fries. So, be sure to order frites and skip the fries. You can easily order these triple-fried treats from a local frituur or fry shop. And if you&#8217;re feeling extra adventurous, try eating your frites with some spicy Andalouse sauce. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>ATMs Can Be Difficult to Find</strong> &#8211; As the use of cash declines and security concerns increase, ATMs are becoming harder to find. However, Bancontact has got you covered. They have easy-to-use, accessible &#8220;bank-neutral&#8221; cash machines where you can withdraw cash in most Belgian cities. So, no need to search for a local bank branch anymore.</li>
</ul>

<p>When thinking about traveling to Puerto Rico, how you plan to get around will be on your list to figure out. When <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="visiting the rainforest (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/what-to-do-in-el-yunque-national-forest/" target="_blank">visiting the rainforest</a>, we rented a car.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-puerto-rico-guide-do-i-need-a-passport">Puerto Rico Guide &#8211; Do I need a passport</h4>



<p>One of the questions I had before visiting Puerto Rico was “Do you need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico?”. Puerto Rico is a&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico" target="_blank">territory of the United States</a>. Therefore, if you are a US citizen, the answer is no. In this <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/do-you-need-a-passport-to-travel-to-puerto-rico/" target="_blank">post</a>, I discuss this in more detail.   </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-puerto-rico-guide-what-to-do">Puerto Rico Guide &#8211; What to do</h4>



<p>My absolute favorite thing from my trip to Puerto Rico was my visit to El Yunque National Forest. I describe what I did there in <a aria-label="this post (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/what-to-do-in-el-yunque-national-forest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this post</a>.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-puerto-rico-guide-food">Puerto Rico Guide &#8211; Food</h4>



<p>Any complete guide to Puerto Rico wouldn&#8217;t be complete without taking a scrumptious, food-related journey across the island. </p>



<p>From the savory goodness of Mofongo to indulging in coastal seafood, the island&#8217;s culinary scene is a fusion of local treasures and global influences.</p>



<p>So, feel free to dive into a vibrant world of street food as you savor alcapurrias and empanadillas at a variety of local food stands. </p>



<p>Next, explore bustling markets like Cookie Couture and Viejo San Juan Farmers Market if you want fresh produce and homemade sweets. After all, local markets are a great way to discover the wide variety of foods that make up Puerto Rican cuisine.</p>



<p>Moreover, make sure to feast on Lechon, which is slow-roasted to perfection, before digging into delicious desserts like tembleque and mantecaditos.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-puerto-rico-travel-tips">Puerto Rico Travel Tips</h2>



<p>Here are some travel tips that will help make your trip to Puerto Rico a lot easier. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-check-passport-requirements-and-visa-rules">1. Check Passport Requirements and Visa Rules</h2>



<p>Although Puerto Rico is an independent country with its own unique laws and customs, it is still a Commonwealth of the United States. </p>



<p>Therefore, US citizens can travel to the island without a passport or visa. As a result, flights from the mainland United States are treated as domestic, allowing you to bypass customs, visas, and departure taxes. </p>



<p>However, be prepared to pay a local sales tax of 11.5% on goods and services. You&#8217;ll also have to pass through the US Department of Agriculture inspection before leaving the country. This way you don&#8217;t bring any illegal fruits, vegetables, or opened food packages back with you. </p>



<p>For non-US citizens, a 90-day visa might be necessary prior to arrival unless they are from a country participating in the US Visa Waiver Program. Consult the list of countries in the program to confirm visa requirements.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-you-can-t-see-the-entire-island-in-one-trip">2. You Can&#8217;t See the Entire Island in One Trip</h2>



<p>Puerto Rico may only be 100 miles long and 35 miles wide but don’t expect to visit the entire island in a single visit. After all, the island spans an incredible 3,515 square miles and is home to stunning white sand beaches, bioluminescent bays, ancient caves with Taíno hieroglyphics, etc. </p>



<p>While many tourist hotspots and lively bars are found in San Juan, genuine Puerto Rican culture often thrives in areas beyond the city. So, if you want to explore this side of the island and road trip from one end of Puerto Rico to the other, the trip can take up to three hours, sometimes longer due to road closures and construction. </p>



<p>If you can, try expressways for a quick journey. Otherwise, take the scenic, winding backroads for a more leisurely drive. Keep in mind that major highways may be under construction, and heavy traffic is often an issue from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-pack-more-conservative-clothing">3. Pack More Conservative Clothing</h2>



<p>As a former Spanish colony, Puerto Rico has inherited many Spanish traditions, prominently including the widespread practice of Catholicism. </p>



<p>Naturally, this influence is reflected in conservative dress codes in various areas. In Old San Juan, where the governor&#8217;s mansion, La Fortaleza, stands, you&#8217;ll often see people dressed in formal wear, such as full suits or long shirts. </p>



<p>As a result, it&#8217;s best only to wear flip-flops at the beach or during very casual outings, like dinners at a chill beach bar. I would also only wear swimsuits to the pool or to the beach since wearing one to shopping centers will make you stand out. </p>



<p>Therefore, when packing for Puerto Rico, be sure to bring some dressier items and more modest clothing that is well-suited for visiting local religious sites. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-not-everyone-speaks-english">4. Not Everyone Speaks English</h2>



<p>Regardless of modern-day politics in Puerto Rico, Spanish is still the main language spoken throughout the island. Sure, you&#8217;ll encounter many Puerto Ricans who are fluent in both English and Spanish, especially in areas like Caguas, Bayamón, Guaynabo, Carolina, Old San Juan, and Trujillo Alto. </p>



<p>However, it&#8217;s always polite to ask if someone speaks English before you start chatting with them. After all, not everyone speaks English. And if you&#8217;re planning to get off the beaten path, you may want to learn a bit of Spanish since locals in rural areas usually don&#8217;t speak English. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-how-long-does-it-take-to-explore-all-of-puerto-rico">1. How Long Does It Take to Explore all of Puerto Rico?</h2>



<p>To thoroughly explore the entire island and its beauty, beyond Old San Juan, you will need at least 7 days in Puerto Rico. If you can try and spend 11 days on the island to see all of the best landmarks in Puerto Rico.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-what-do-i-need-to-know-before-going-to-puerto-rico">2. What Do I Need to Know Before Going to Puerto Rico?</h2>



<p>Some things you need to know before going to Puerto Rico are:</p>



<ul>

<li>Renting a car can be helpful.</li>



<li>It takes a lot of time to travel around the island. </li>

<li>Discover quaint towns like Vieques and Culebra.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-is-puerto-rico-a-cheap-vacation">3. Is Puerto Rico a Cheap Vacation?</h2>



<p>Puerto is not a cheap vacation destination and that amount of money you spend really depends on the hotel you stay in and the activities you decide to do. </p>



<p>However, for Americans, it is one of the cheaper destinations to visit in the Caribbean.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-is-one-week-enough-for-puerto-rico">4. Is One Week Enough for Puerto Rico?</h2>



<p>With some planning, you can enjoy most of the best things to do in Puerto Rico in about a week. To do this,  your home base will be the vibrant capital of San Juan. </p>



<p>But, don&#8217;t miss out on the chance to visit El Yunque Rainforest before relaxing at the picturesque Luquillo Beach to the east. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-do-i-need-a-car-in-puerto-rico">5. Do I Need a Car in Puerto Rico?</h2>



<p>To make the most of your time in Puerto Rico you should consider renting a car. This way you can skip the non-existent intercity train service and the hassle of slow, uncomfortable intercity buses.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-is-4-days-in-puerto-rico-enough">6. Is 4 days in Puerto Rico Enough?</h2>



<p>You can explore Puerto Rico in 4 days. But, you will feel rushed and won&#8217;t be able to experience everything the island has to offer.</p>



<p>So, for a more extensive island experience, consider extending your visit by a few days. This will give you added freedom and the flexibility to enjoy top Puerto Rico landmarks. </p>

<p>When looking online for picture spots ahead of my trip, the most popular one was actually the one with umbrellas. But, when I visited Old San Juan, they removed the umbrellas and put up the giant flag instead.</p>



<p>If you want to know what will be there in advance of your trip, it will likely show up on TripAdvisor under the reviews.</p>



<p>Anyway, this street is easily the most iconic photography spot in Old San Juan, and it&#8217;s easy to see why.</p>



<p>This enchanting street leads straight through to Puerto Rico’s Governor Mansion (La Fortaleza), which is closed to vehicles. So, you can easily capture beautiful shots without any cars in the background.</p>



<p>The decorations on this street also change periodically. So, you might find vibrant umbrellas overhead instead of the Puerto Rican flag proudly displayed during my visit.</p>



<p>If you can, stop by early in the morning. This will allow you to avoid large groups of people and to get the best photos possible.</p>

<p>Everywhere you turn in Old San Juan you&#8217;ll find beautiful Colonial-style buildings painted in a dazzling array of vibrant colors. </p>



<p>However, one of the best places to find these amazing buildings is Calle Norzagaray. Stop by and I dare you not to take a photo or two. </p>



<p>Afterward, stop by Hotel El Convento. It&#8217;s a beautiful luxury hotel where you can take photos with the building&#8217;s grand exterior in the background. </p>



<p>There&#8217;s also a really charming street right next to Hotel El Convento where you&#8217;ll want to stop to take tons of photos. You&#8217;ll find quaint stone pathways, vibrant buildings, stunning potted plants, and cute little benches that are perfect for a mini photo shoot. </p>

<p>This old Puerto Rican flag door uses black and white to replace the red and blue colors of the Puerto Rican flag. It is a great place to take photos since it is a unique combination of old and new. </p>



<p>In fact, you can see the building in ruins in the background with vintage depictions of Puerto Rican locals standing along the side of the building on either side of the door. </p>



<p>It is easily one of the most Instagrammable places in Old San Juan since you can capture a beautiful photo with the door and the people painted on the side of the building. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-get-to-el-yunque">How to get to El Yunque</h2>



<p>First things first, while <a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/is-there-uber-in-puerto-rico/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Uber operates in the greater San Juan area (opens in a new tab)">Uber operates in the greater San Juan area</a>, this is not an option for transportation to the rainforest. You will need to either join an excursion or rent a car (recommended). Additionally, I am a fan of visiting when there are less people. We went on a Friday morning and left our hotel in San Juan around 8am. This allowed us to arrive in the rainforest a little after 9am with a quick pit stop.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-to-hike-or-to-explore-from-the-car">To hike or to explore from the car</h2>



<p>Depending on your level of hiking interest, there are many options. However even if you don’t want to hike, there are still beautiful waterfalls you can see from the road without getting out of the car. <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/La+Coca+Waterfall/@18.3188329,-65.7713485,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x2c09a897e9d37321!8m2!3d18.3188329!4d-65.7713485" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="La Coca Falls (opens in a new tab)">La Coca Falls</a> was one example of a beautiful waterfall that was visible from the road.</p>

<p> Check out this article for <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/how-to-hike-in-the-rainforest/" target="_blank">tips for hiking in the rainforest</a> if you have never been. It can be quite different than other hikes you have been on previously.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Our original plan was to hike La Mina falls but the access road
was closed. Instead we decided to hike to Juan Diego Falls. Overall, this was a
shorter option but it still gave us the rainforest waterfall feeling that we
were hoping for and it made this the highlight of the trip. If you are looking
for what to do in El Yunque National Forest, this would be my recommendation.</p>



<p>Once you get to the base of the falls, if you are adventurous, you can consider hiking higher to the top. If this is your first-time hiking in a rainforest, check out these tips <a aria-label="here (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/how-to-hike-in-the-rainforest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. The treacherous and muddy path was off to the right. We did this early enough that we had the higher portion of the waterfall all to ourselves.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-go-horseback-riding">Go Horseback Riding</h2>



<p>Experience the natural beauty of El Yunque National Forest, a tropical gem tucked away on the eastern side of Puerto Rico, with an all-American horseback riding adventure.</p>



<p>Several reputable outfitters and stables in the area offer guided horseback tours suitable for riders of all levels.</p>



<p>So, if you are wondering what to do in El Yunque National Forest, La Vista Rides will offer you thrilling guided rides through El Yunque National Forest. It is a trip that promises an unforgettable journey amidst lush rainforest landscapes and stunning views. </p>



<p>Also, as you travel through winding forest trails, immerse yourself in the picturesque scenery of this biodiverse haven.</p>



<p>Additionally, it&#8217;s rare to find another horseback riding experience in the area where the horses are treated as well as they are at La Vista Rides.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-yokahua-tower">Yokahua Tower</h2>



<p>If you haven’t had the chance to enjoy all of the best things to do in El Yunque National Forest, consider visiting Yokahua Tower. It is located near El Yunque National Forest&#8217;s entrance and is a convenient, family-friendly destination.</p>



<p>Take advantage of ample parking and enjoy a short climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the rainforest and Luquillo Beach. </p>



<p>Therefore, this place is a must-visit for those seeking a quick but rewarding experience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-el-portal-de-el-yunque-visitor-center">El Portal de El Yunque Visitor Center</h2>



<p>El Portal de El Yunque Visitor Center serves as the gateway to the El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico and is located amidst lush tropical foliage.</p>



<p>Now, after undergoing extensive reconstruction due to hurricane damage, the El Portal Visitor&#8217;s Center proudly reopened its doors in January 2022.</p>



<p>The modernized setting exemplifies both beauty and sustainability with its architecture. Educational exhibits are also spread across the first and second floors, both of which can be explored in under an hour.</p>



<p>Just don&#8217;t miss the Puerto Rican parrots since they are part of a critical reintroduction initiative due to their endangered status.</p>



<p>Moreover, visiting the center requires a payment of around $8.00 per adult, while kids under 15 can enter for free.</p>



<p>Lastly, don’t forget to get the National Park Pass because pass holders can receive a 50% discount.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-juan-diego-falls">Juan Diego Falls</h2>



<p>This waterfall is one of the prettiest and most easily accessible in the park. Just follow a sign beside the road to a small parking area near kilometer 9.6. Park your car and wear hiking boots since the trails can get pretty muddy. </p>



<p>Once on the trail, enjoy a quick hike to this beautiful waterfall. Admire the tropical plants all around you and enjoy stunning views of the waterfall. If you want you can even go for a swim. But, remember that the water will feel a bit cold. </p>



<p>If you want, use a small path on the right to access a second waterfall from Juan Diego Falls. This waterfall is actually bigger than the first and isn&#8217;t as packed with people since the trail to the waterfall is filled with tree roots and logs. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mt-britton-tower">Mt. Britton Tower</h2>



<p>Easily one of the most popular hikes in the park, the trek to Mt. Britton Tower is well worth your time since you&#8217;ll see a beautiful, orange-hued, stone tower quietly sitting in the jungle. If you want, you can even climb the stairs inside to enjoy beautiful views of Puerto Rico at the top. </p>



<p>The easiest way to access this tower, and trail, is to drive to the end of the main road in El Yunque. Once there, you can park your car and hike along a 0.8-mile-long trail (one way) to the base of the tower. </p>



<p>The hike isn&#8217;t long but includes a bit of elevation gain. So, expect the hike to take anywhere between 30 and 40 minutes. It&#8217;s nice because the trail is paved and you can listen to local frogs croaking in the background. You&#8217;ll also want to veer right right when you hit a paved road. However, there are plenty of signs around so you shouldn&#8217;t get too lost. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bano-grande">Bano Grande</h2>



<p>After hiking to Mt. Britton Tower be sure to visit Bano Grande. It&#8217;s located right next door and is this beautiful, old-world pool that was constructed by locals who wanted to harness the power of the forest&#8217;s many rivers. </p>



<p>To visit, look for the pool around kilometer 11.9. Just park in the associated lot and take a quick walk there. Sadly, you cannot swim here, but you can admire this beautiful piece of history and enjoy the peace of the forest all around you. </p>

<p>Additional options for what to do in El Yunque National Forest would be to hike to the tower. Keep in mind that this is a rainforest so the views will likely be hit or miss, however I am sure they would be spectacular if you had a break in the clouds. Another option would be to enjoy the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="natural rock waterslide of Las Payla (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g635965-d3875225-Reviews-Las_Paylas-Luquillo_Puerto_Rico.html" target="_blank"></a><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="natural rock waterslide of Las Paylas (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g635965-d3875225-r182318762-Las_Paylas-Luquillo_Puerto_Rico.html" target="_blank"></a>natural rock waterslide of <a href="http://laspaylas.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Las Paylas (opens in a new tab)">Las Paylas</a>.

<p>Looking to make the most of your time in Puerto Rico?

<p>See, this highly-rated tour departs from Puerto Del Ray Marina in Fajardo and takes you on a 55-minute journey via a high-speed catamaran to Culebra Island. </p>

<p><strong>&#8220;Staff was honest, informative, and hard working. They were very attentive to the captain who didn&#8217;t need to speak, he did most communications with hand gestures. 1 crew member found my GoPro floating and returned it to me. Food was plentiful and delicious. Rum punches hit the spot too. I think the captain knows the weather very well as every time we got onto the boat, it would rain. When we stopped, the sun would come out. Awesome day.&#8221;</strong></p>

<p>But, the best part? Once you arrive at one of the top 10 beaches on Culebra, you&#8217;ll have free time to snorkel, swim, and devour an incredible lunch. </p>



<p>In fact, it&#8217;s a sumptuous feast that includes chicken salad/veggie wraps, chips, salads, fresh fruit, and so much more. </p>



<p>Whatever you do though, don&#8217;t forget to visit the onboard bar and indulge in Piña Coladas, Rum Punch, and more since all beverages are included with the price of your tour. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-tour-old-san-juan">6. Tour Old San Juan</h2>



<p>Old San Juan is both beautiful and vibrant. If you are visiting, touring the old city is definitely one of the top things to do in Puerto Rico. There are restaurants, pretty buildings, and old forts. One of the most interesting things we did when visiting Old San Juan was eating at the Chocobar Cortes. This restaurant has all sorts of menu items with chocolate included in them! I even got a chocolate grilled cheese and a soup with white chocolate and pumpkin. It was delicious.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-go-ziplining">7. Go Ziplining</h2>



<p>Ziplining is something that I did not get the chance to do while I was in Puerto Rico but I plan to go next time that I visit. This would likely be a perfect add on to your visit to the rainforest as I saw a few turnoffs for ziplining tours en route to our rainforest hike. If the idea of ziplining excites you, Puerto Rico is a great location.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-8-visit-a-bioluminescent-bay">8. Visit a bioluminescent bay</h2>



<p>As I was making my trip preparations,
so many people told me that one of the top things in Puerto Rico was visiting
the bioluminescent bay. There are three in Puerto Rico out of 5 total in the
world. We visited Mosquito Bay. </p>



<p>While I don’t have any pictures from this portion of the trip (the pictures online are likely fake), it was still really cool. As you paddled your kayak you saw a beautiful, glittery purple-ish color. While on the tour, I learned that they are protists, not algae, in addition to all of the reasons behind why the bio bay is thriving in Puerto Rico.</p>

<p>As I stayed in San Juan on a resort, the only downside to doing this tour is that it took a very long time. We left around 3pm and returned around midnight. The transportation involved was shuttle -&gt; boat -&gt; shuttle -&gt; shuttle -&gt; bio bay (and then reverse). If there are children involved, it might be a bit much for them. I would consider doing a different bioluminescent bay or traveling to Viajes at your leisure and then getting the tour from there.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-9-go-to-the-rainforest">9. Go to the rainforest</h2>



<p>Visiting El Yunque National Forest was my absolute favorite part of my trip making it one of the top things to do for me. If you have never hiked in a rainforest before, check out my rainforest hiking tips <a aria-label="here (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/how-to-hike-in-the-rainforest/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p>Even if you don’t want to hike in the rainforest, there are plenty of places to stop and explore. There are even waterfalls right off the road that don’t even require you to leave your car. You will need to rent a car to visit the rainforest as <a aria-label="Uber is only really available in the San Juan area (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/is-there-uber-in-puerto-rico/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uber is only really available in the San Juan area</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-10-la-placita-de-santurce">10. La Placita de Santurce</h2>



<p>This awesome local farmer&#8217;s market is held on the weekends and is brimming over with cool food stalls, quaint bars, and delicious restaurants. </p>



<p>Nestled in a historic building, the market offers a delightful escape from the chaos of the city. However, the highlight of your visit will be sipping on a rum cocktail as you wander through the market and see what it is on offer. Just be prepared for crowds since this place gets packed. </p>



<p>Afterward, grab a meal at a wide array of awesome restaurants like Jungle Bird, Santaella, and Mai Pen Rai. They are amazing eateries that serve incredible local cuisine you won&#8217;t soon forget. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-11-cueva-ventana">11. Cueva Ventana</h2>



<p>Nestled high atop a limestone cliff in the picturesque town of Arecibo is Cueva Ventana or &#8220;window cave.&#8221; It&#8217;s a beautiful place that is about an hour&#8217;s drive from San Juan. Stop by to enjoy an incredible hike and beautiful views of Puerto Rico&#8217;s vibrant natural landscapes. </p>



<p>For an even better experience, visit on a weekday. This way you can enjoy a 90-minute guided and admission for just $19.00. Just know that the terrain will be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-12-museo-de-arte-de-puerto-rico">12. Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico</h2>



<p>Located inside a former hospital, this incredible museum can be found in Santurce. It was fully restored in 1995 and is now home to an array of works from Puerto Rican artists who were active anywhere between the 17th century and the modern day. </p>



<p>In total, the permanent collection houses an impressive 1,000 pieces of art that include sculptures, paintings, and more. There are also several rotating exhibitions on display, with themes that center around the current political climate in Puerto Rico. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-13-toro-verde-eco-adventure-park">13. Toro Verde Eco Adventure Park</h2>



<p>Enjoy awe-inspiring views of the central corridor’s stunning mountains at Toro Verde Eco Adventure Park. After all, this incredible place is home to a fantastic zipline that extends across 2.5 kilometers of land. Therefore,  it is easily one of the longest ziplines in the Americas. </p>



<p>This park also holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cable bike circuit on the planet. So, stop by and try ziplining, jumping, and biking through the air with the greatest of ease. It&#8217;s one of the best things to do in Puerto Rico for any adrenaline junkies out there, with well-trained experts on hand to ensure you have the safest experience possible. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-to-stay">Where to Stay</h3>



<p><em>One important part of your 2 day Yosemite itinerary is where you plan to stay.</em> It will be significantly more challenging to see Yosemite in 2 days if you are not staying in the park. We stayed at the <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.yosemite.com/lodging/hotels/yosemite-valley-lodge/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yosemite Valley Lodge</a>. The location of this hotel cannot be beat as it is right across from Yosemite Falls. However, because of the location, this hotel is not cheap. It also has limited amenities (including no A/C)! For us, it was worth the price to see what we did in Yosemite since we only had 2 days in the park. You may want to consider <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">camping in Yosemite</a> or a nicer hotel option &#8211; <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.travelyosemite.com/lodging/the-ahwahnee/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=places&amp;utm_campaign=google_places" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Ahwahnee</a>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-day-yosemite-itinerary-day-1">2 Day Yosemite Itinerary &#8211; Day 1</h3>



<p><strong>Day 1 starts with a sunrise at Tunnel View</strong>. While the lighting is technically better during the day, it&#8217;s the perfect spot to watch the sun rise and light up the entire valley. It can also allow you time to munch on some breakfast and drink your coffee (or in my case Diet Coke) while taking in the views before starting your full day.</p>

<p>If you skip Tunnel View, you will have a chance to visit it later. However, you should still set your alarm early and kick off your day with the first trail.</p>



<p>Another option is to start your day at Valley View. This spot is great if you don&#8217;t want to do any hiking since this viewpoint is located right next to a parking lot. </p>



<p>While you&#8217;re here, enjoy sweeping views of the area&#8217;s many granite cliffs as well as El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and the Cathedral Rocks. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-first-hike-of-the-day-mist-trail">First Hike of the Day &#8211; Mist Trail</h4>



<p>Visiting Vernal Falls, Nevada Falls, and potentially Half Dome via the Mist Trail should be your first trail of the day. How far you go will depend on your skill level, and if you are able to obtain a <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/hdpermits.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Half Dome permit</a>. Going all the way to Half Dome is approximately <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/half-dome-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">15 miles round trip</a> and includes a section of cables that can be intimidating for those afraid of heights. </p>

<p>Going to Nevada Falls is approximately <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/vernal-and-nevada-falls-via-the-mist-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">9 miles round trip</a>, but the trail is still classified as hard because of the elevation gain. Vernal Falls is <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/vernal-falls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">3.5 miles round trip</a> and the hike is rated as moderate. We ended up hiking to Vernal and Nevada Falls and I will be saving a Half Dome hike for another trip to Yosemite.</p>



<p>Mist Trail gets its name from how you get wet from the waterfalls when hiking. Be prepared to get wet, especially in the spring. This also means it is important to have <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://amzn.to/30DBCty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">appropriate hiking shoes</a> to avoid slipping on the trail. When we visited in July, there wasn&#8217;t much mist &#8211; but still be prepared in case.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-lunchtime">Lunchtime</h4>



<p>After your hike, take some time to rest with lunch in the Yosemite Valley. There aren&#8217;t a ton of food options, but when we were there, they had a food truck open as well as the Grill.</p>



<p>Once you have refueled, it&#8217;s time to consider your choices for the rest of the day. You can rent bikes and ride around the valley, bring a floatie and hang out in the river or head to another hike. Not even going to lie, we all decided it was time for a quick nap so we took one right after lunch then geared up for the rest of the day.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-afternoon-hikes-2-mirror-lake-amp-3-lower-yosemite-falls">Afternoon &#8211; Hikes 2 (Mirror Lake) &amp; 3 (Lower Yosemite Falls)</h4>



<p>If you have a tight timeline for Day 2 and will be unable to catch the sunset, I would recommend skipping to the Day 2 itinerary for your afternoon. <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/mirror-lake-via-valley-loop-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Our first hike of the afternoon was to Mirror Lake</a>. The hike as listed is 5.6 miles roundtrip but that includes going around the lake. To go to the lake and back is really around 2-2.5 miles if you don&#8217;t want to go all the way around.</p>

<p>Although pictures online look incredible, I won&#8217;t lie there were a LOT of kids playing in the lake. If you are with your family or you want to get in the water in the middle of the summer this would be really fun. The water is the fullest during the spring and early summer so this is something to keep in mind as well. You can read more about the seasonality of this lake <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/mirrorlaketrail.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>



<p>Next up was a visit to <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/lower-yosemite-falls-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lower Yosemite Falls and Vista Point</a>. The total trail is about 1 mile round trip so it is another easy option and handicap accessible. The peak waterfall runoff occurs sometime in May or June and there often aren&#8217;t visible falls after August. An additional option would be to go all the way to <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/upper-yosemite-falls-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Upper Yosemite Falls</a>, but we checkout reviews and it appeared that between the Mist Trail and Upper Yosemite that the Mist Trail was the better option. With a longer time available in Yosemite, you could do both.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-evening-hike-4-cook-s-meadow">Evening &#8211; Hike 4 (Cook&#8217;s Meadow)</h4>



<p>As you will notice our hikes throughout the day were less and less ambitious. Hike 4 (and really hike #3 as well) could likely be more classified as a walk. On this hike we visited Cook&#8217;s Meadow for sunset. If you want to connect this with the Lower Yosemite Falls trail the link on AllTrails is <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/sentinel-meadow-cooks-meadow-loop-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<p>The goal for sunset in Yosemite is a view of Half Dome and from Cook&#8217;s Meadow you can see it well. On Day 2 you will also see Half Dome for sunset but from a different angle.</p>



<p>Another option for sunset is Tunnel View. It sits right near a parking lot so you don&#8217;t need to do any hiking. It also offers visitors an iconic view of Half Dome framed by El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall. However, this spot can get very crowded. So, if you would like to enjoy sweeping views without the crowds then hike to Artist Point or Inspiration Point from here. </p>



<p>Finally, if you&#8217;re tired and don&#8217;t feel like doing any more hikes then you can always skip some of the hikes outlined here and head to Yosemite Village instead. You can stop by the welcome center to learn more about the history of the area. You can also explore cool museums like the Yosemite Museum, and the Ansel Adams Gallery. You can even grab a meal at Degan&#8217;s Kitchen. The food is your basic deli fare but the turkey sandwich was pretty good. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-day-yosemite-itinerary-day-2">2 Day Yosemite Itinerary &#8211; Day 2</h3>



<p><strong>Day 2 starts early again. </strong>This time with a drive on Tioga Pass to visit a new section of the park. On our way, the first stop was essentially Tenaya Lake because it was beautiful. Although it wasn&#8217;t the original plan, we couldn&#8217;t help but stop (twice) to take in the views. </p>

This 5.6 mile trail is rated as moderate with the majority of the elevation change in the first mile on the trail. There were few people on this trail making it incredibly enjoyable. At the conclusion of the hike, we returned to Tenaya Lake for a picnic lunch and then headed back to Yosemite Valley.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-glacier-point">Glacier Point</h4>



<p>Glacier Point is one of the most amazing views in Yosemite. This title isn&#8217;t earned easily but you will see why when you make it there yourself. Glacier Point is about an hour drive from Yosemite Valley. Conveniently, it&#8217;s also a view you can get from parking your car and walking to the overlook. <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/glacierpoint.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The road is open seasonally, however it will be closed the entire 2021 season. You can learn more about this here</a>.</p>

<p>Since you are at Glacier Point, stop by Washburn Point. It&#8217;s only a mile away from Glacier Point and offers amazing views of the Mist Trail and Illiluoette Falls. You&#8217;ll also get a nice view of Half Dome standing high above the valley. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hike-6-taft-point">Hike 6 &#8211; Taft Point</h4>



<p>Taft Point is one of those spots where it gets a little nerve-wracking if you are scared of heights. This trail is <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/taft-point-and-the-fissures" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2.3 miles round trip</a> and you can get right next to the edge for pictures. You can link this trail directly to Sentinel Dome but it takes longer to join the two rather than returning to the trailhead and starting the hike to Sentinel Dome separately.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hike-7-sentinel-dome">Hike 7 &#8211; Sentinel Dome</h4>



<p>At sunset we <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/sentinel-dome-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hiked to Sentinel Dome</a>. This trail is 2.3 miles and rated as moderate, But in all honesty it&#8217;s not handicap accessible or the easiest of trails. It&#8217;s certainly more of a easy/moderate combo. The panorama view at the top of Sentinel Dome was totally worth it. And you were able to see Half Dome light up as well. Make sure to start downhill while there is still some light to make sure you don&#8217;t get stuck in the dark.</p>

<p>From this hike in Sentinel Dome we headed to our hotel outside the park and we concluded our 2 Day Yosemite itinerary.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hike-8-optional-washburn-point-trail">Hike 8 (Optional) &#8211; Washburn Point trail</h4>



<p>If you have time, end your two-day Yosemite itinerary with a trek from Sentinel Dome to Washburn Point trail. This 3.7-mile out-and-back trail is rated as moderately difficult and features panoramic views of Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls, and the High Sierras. Washburn Point also offers a serene escape from the crowds, especially during sunset. So, embrace the diverse wonders Yosemite has to offer. Just monitor trail conditions and weather before you set out on your adventure. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tips-for-visiting-yosemite">Tips for visiting Yosemite</h2>



<ul>
<li>Water, electrolytes and snacks are critical to enjoy your day in Yosemite. When hiking, I like to use a hiking pack with a water bladder like&nbsp;<a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/2Nj6ngn" target="_blank">this one</a>. Regardless of a water bladder or bottles, consider factors like the shade available on trails, how cloudy/sunny the weather is, and how hot it is outside. A trail with no shade on a sunny day would require about double the water than if it was a cloudy, cool day.</li>



<li>Wear solid, sturdy hiking shoes. I use some similar to <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://amzn.to/30DBCty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">these</a>, but find something that works for you. If you are doing more intense hikes, you definitely will want more grip/traction than regular tennis shoes.</li>



<li>Insect repellent is a must. I was so glad I had some in Yosemite.</li>



<li>Sunscreen is also really important when hiking is there is often not much shade.</li>



<li>Layers of clothing help ensure that you stay both warm when it&#8217;s cool and cool when it&#8217;s warm &#8211; <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/best-hiking-clothes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consider hiking in wool clothing</a></li>



<li>Always remember to stay on designated paths and leave no trace. So, anything that you bring into the park, bring it back out with you.  </li>



<li>There are many black bears in this park. Do not leave your food lying around since it could attract local wildlife. </li>



<li>Before you visit, check the official park website for the most up-to-date information on road conditions, air quality, and park closures. This website also has great information on park reservation requirements, which vary based on the time of year. </li>



<li>Glacier Point Road closes in the winter and is not open to vehicles. The exact dates depend on the weather, but this is usually from late November to June. </li>



<li>Do not rely on cell phone service in the park. It is spotty at best. Instead, always have an offline map downloaded on your phone to help you navigate along the trails. </li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sequoia-national-park-itinerary">Sequoia National Park Itinerary</h2>



<p>While the onset of C-19 has increased the focus on social distancing, I have been trying to get national parks to myself since I first started visiting several years ago. I have some general tips for hiking and social distancing <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/how-to-social-distance-while-hiking/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. But one of my favorite things about visiting Sequoia National Park was that we didn&#8217;t encounter many people. A lot of this has to do with how we structured our Sequoia National Park Itinerary.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-to-do-in-sequoia-national-park">What to do in Sequoia National Park</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hike-to-moro-rock">Hike to Moro Rock</h3>



<p>We started out our day around 8 AM on a Monday <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/moro-rock-trail" target="_blank" aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener">hiking to Moro Rock</a>. <em>While Moro Rock is not exactly what you were necessarily expecting from thinking about a park filled with trees, it&#8217;s absolutely a must-do when in the park. </em>This trail is tight quarters with no shade and definitely recommend getting started early to avoid the sun exposure and people.</p>

Don&#8217;t show this picture to my mom (lol). </em></figcaption></figure>



<p>The actual hike details might surprise you. It&#8217;s a total of 0.4 miles round trip and 187 feet of elevation gain and it is rated as moderate. However this hike is not for anyone with a fear of heights as the trail is quite narrow. The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CEUOA-eFc4o/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">views from the top of Moro Rock</a> are incredible and totally worth the trek. When we were most of the way back down from Moro Rock, we did start to see people so starting early is definitely a must.</p>



<p><strong>Expert Tip:</strong> This is also a good hike to do at sunset since the sunset views here are absolutely stunning. If you aren&#8217;t afraid of heights, you can also go past the railings. Head out onto the rocks and you&#8217;ll see stairs that take you to an additional seating area.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-drive-through-tunnel-log">Drive through Tunnel Log</h3>



<p>The next stop on our Sequoia National Park itinerary was driving through Tunnel Log. We actually passed the next item on our Sequoia National Park itinerary because we wanted to make sure we had minimal people so we could get a picture with the iconic tree. We spent about 20 minutes uninterrupted taking pictures and as soon as we pulled away a truck came up behind us &#8211; so our strategy worked.</p>

<p>According to the Sequoia National Park website: <em>The fallen Tunnel Log of Sequoia National Park came into being after an unnamed giant sequoia fell across the Crescent Meadow Road in late 1937 as a result of &#8220;natural causes.&#8221; The following summer, a tunnel was cut through the fallen log as a visitor attraction.

<p><em>Even if you are pressed for time, checking out The Parker Group is a convenient stop between Moro Rock and Tunnel Log.</em> This named group of trees is one that you can get very close to (unlike some later that are fenced off). </p>

<p>General Sherman Tree is probably the number one thing you have to include when planning a Sequoia National Park Itinerary. <strong>General Sherman is the world&#8217;s largest tree by volume.</strong> It stands 275 feet (83 m) tall, and is over 36 feet (11 m) in diameter at the base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/congress-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Congress Loop</a> itself is 3 miles, rated as easy, and has 495 feet of elevation gain. The trees themselves are creatively named and it is definitely worth the 3 miles.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-other-things-to-do-in-sequoia-national-park">Other Things to do in Sequoia National Park</h3>



<ul>
<li><strong>Explore the Giant Forest </strong>&#8211; If you are short on time then just visit the General Sherman Tree. Otherwise, spend a few hours exploring the surrounding area. After all, there are literally tons of amazing trees all around you. We did the Congress Loop, but there are other trails through the area that are well worth your time. Just watch out for trail markers since the number of trails here makes it easy to get lost. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Explore the Mountains</strong> &#8211; Sequoia National Park also contains lots of amazing mountains. Some amazing hikes through this part of the park include a hike to Marble Falls, Lakes Trail (this hike is hard and takes you to three unique alpine lakes), etc. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Visit Some Meadows </strong>&#8211; The meadows of Sequoia National Park are a great place to see local wildlife (like bears) and enjoy some amazing wildflowers. So, stop by Crescent and Zumwault Meadow since both areas are home to some amazing hikes.</li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Drive through King&#8217;s Canyon</strong> &#8211; As I mentioned in the intro, we visited King&#8217;s Canyon, Yosemite, and Sequoia National Park during the same trip. So, if you have the time try to drive through King&#8217;s Canyon. It&#8217;s actually connected to Sequoia National Park and is easy to drive up. Be sure to drive along the King’s Canyon Scenic Byway since it is beautiful. </li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-to-stay-near-sequoia-national-park">Where to stay near Sequoia National Park</h2>



<p>After we splurged on lodging inside of Yosemite National Park, we opted for a cheaper route for our visit to Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. For the two nights surrounding our trip to Sequoia, we stayed in Visalia at the Fairfield Inn Visalia Sequoia. Visalia was an adorable town and we appreciated being a little closer to civilization with a patio dinner option.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><strong>Bonus tip:</strong> We stayed at the Fairfield Inn Visalia Sequoia, a Marriott property. You could stay there for free with the <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/packing-list-for-havasupai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Marriott credit card</a>. Visiting national parks out west is not cheap so using the card to buy your permits, flights, and gear will get you some points for your hotel. *Note: I never advocate credit card debt. Only take on what you can pay off in full each month.*</p>
</blockquote>



<p>With longer time you may consider camping in or near Sequoia National Park. If you&#8217;re traveling from out of state (or country), it may be easier to <a href="https://www.pitchkitco.com/news-1/ultimate-guide-rent-camping-gear" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rent camping gear</a> rather than pack it. You can find more information about campgrounds in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks <a href="https://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sequoia-national-park-tips">Sequoia National Park Tips</h2>



<p>Hopefully this one day Sequoia National Park guide will have you ready to explore these gorgeous trees. Some additional things to consider to ensure a smooth trip:</p>



<ul>
<li>Bring bug spray. There were constant mosquitoes and I personally wouldn&#8217;t even consider a visit if I forgot my bug spray.</li>



<li>Start early. Although this was mentioned several times throughout the post, starting early will help with both crowds and heat.</li>



<li>Pack snacks, water, and electrolytes. Although none of the suggested hikes are very long, amenities are limited in the park so you definitely want to be prepared. When hiking, I like to use a hiking pack with a water bladder like <a href="https://amzn.to/2Nj6ngn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this one</a>. Regardless of a water bladder or bottles, consider factors like the shade available on trails, how cloudy/sunny the weather is, and how hot it is outside. A trail with no shade on a sunny day would require about double the water than if it was a cloudy, cool day.</li>



<li>Wear solid, sturdy hiking shoes. I use some similar to <a href="https://amzn.to/30DBCty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">these</a>, but find something that works for you. All of the hikes in this post could be done in tennis shoes. However, if you are doing more intense hikes or spending some time in <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://beautahfulworld.com/the-best-2-day-yosemite-itinerary/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yosemite</a> as well, you definitely will want more grip/traction than regular tennis shoes. </li>



<li>Sunscreen is also really important when hiking is there is often not much shade &#8211; especially if completing Moro Rock.</li>



<li>Layers of clothing help ensure that you stay both warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm – <a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/best-hiking-clothes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consider hiking in wool clothing</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Exploring New Zealand via campervan is a very popular way to visit the country. New Zealand really caters well to the campervan culture which is important to know if you are wondering what is it like to take a campervan through New Zealand. You have several options when taking a campervan through New Zealand: freedom camping, staying at a non-powered campsite, or staying at a powered campsite. We can review them here:</p>



<p><strong>Freedom camping</strong></p>



<p>Freedom camping is camping in a campervan that has been certified as self-contained, on a site with&nbsp;minimal&nbsp;or no facilities, such as toilets or showers. There are over 500 responsible freedom camping locations in New Zealand, including the side of the road in many locations. There will be signs that say &#8220;no freedom camping&#8221; or &#8220;freedom camping permitted&#8221; to let you know that you can park and set up shop. This is obviously the cheapest option as you won&#8217;t have to pay any nightly fees. You can find more information on freedom camping on the Department of Conservation (DOC) <a href="https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/things-to-do/camping/freedom-camping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">website</a>.</p>



<p><strong>Non-powered site</strong></p>



<p>The next option is to go for a more campsite type feel but without being able to plug your campervan in. You can do this through the <a href="https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/things-to-do/camping/campervans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Zealand Department of Conservation</a>. Depending on the site, you may have toilets and kitchen facilities available.</p>



<p><strong>Powered site</strong></p>



<p>The most &#8220;high end&#8221; option is using a powered campsite. There are two main chain campsites: Top 10 Holiday Park and Kiwi Holiday Park. You will see these all over the country. Depending on the specific site, they usually have kitchens, laundry (fee), hot showers (sometimes fee), wifi (sometimes fee), and power for your campervan.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-1063"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="640" height="480" src="https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01-1024x768.jpeg?resize=640%2C480" alt="what is it like to take a Campervan through New Zealand" class="wp-image-1063" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?resize=360%2C270&amp;ssl=1 360w, https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/beautahfulworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_20190403_160949-01.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" data-recalc-dims="1" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>View of Mount Cook from the Jucy campervan window</em></figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>How to find where to stay</strong></p>



<p>To guide your trip you can download Campermate (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/campermate/id465040067?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iPhone</a> / <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.campermate&amp;hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Android</a>) or use the <a href="https://www.campermate.co.nz/map/index" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">web version</a>. Not all of these can be booked online. How far in advance you need to book will be determined by the season and the scarcity of available sites (Mt. Cook area books up farther in advance because there are less available campsites). In addition, your flexibility to go for non-powered/freedom camping over powered sites will allow for more spontaneous travel.</p>



<p><strong>What&#8217;s better, purchasing or leasing a campervan in New Zealand?</strong></p>



<p>If you are wondering what is it like to take a Campervan through New Zealand, and you are wondering whether to purchase or lease a Campervan, let me share some of the pros and cons with you before you make your decision.</p>



<p><strong>Pros of Purchasing a Campervan in New Zealand</strong></p>



<p>1 &#8211; Freedom and flexibility<br>You have the freedom to travel at your own pace, exploring the country without strict itineraries or rental return deadlines, which is great.</p>



<p>2 &#8211; Save Money Over Time<br>If you plan to use the campervan for an extended period or multiple trips, buying can be more cost-effective than renting.</p>



<p>3 &#8211; Customization and personalization:<br>You can customize and personalize your campervan to your liking, making it a home away from home.</p>



<p>4 &#8211; Potential resale value:<br>If you maintain your campervan, there&#8217;s the potential to sell it and recoup some of your investment when you&#8217;re done with your travels.</p>



<p>5 &#8211; No rental restrictions:<br>You can use your campervan for any purpose, including long-term travel, living in it, or make modifications to meet your personal needs.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Cons of Purchasing a Campervan in New Zealand</strong></p>



<p>1 &#8211; Initial Cost:<br>Buying a campervan involves a significant amount of money upfront, including the cost of the vehicle and any necessary modifications.</p>



<p>2 &#8211; Depreciation:<br>Campervans tend to depreciate in value over time. So, you may not recoup your full investment when you decide to sell it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>3 &#8211; Maintenance and repairs:<br>You&#8217;re responsible for ongoing maintenance and repairs, which can add up over time.</p>



<p>4 &#8211; Insurance and registration:<br>Costs related to insurance, registration, and road taxes can be high for campervans.</p>



<p>5 &#8211; Limited vehicle choice:<br>Buying a campervan restricts you to a single vehicle, limiting your options for the types of trips you take and the accommodations you book.</p>



<p>6 &#8211; Parking and storage:<br>You&#8217;ll need to find appropriate storage or parking when not using your campervan, which may be challenging in some areas.</p>



<p>7 &#8211; Selling challenges:<br>Finding a buyer and selling your campervan can be time-consuming and stressful.</p>



<p>8 &#8211; Market fluctuations:<br>The resale value of your campervan can be influenced by market conditions and demand for campervans in New Zealand.</p>



<p><strong>Pros of Leasing a campervan in New Zealand</strong></p>



<p>1 &#8211; Lower Upfront Costs:<br>Renting a campervan requires a smaller upfront financial commitment compared to purchasing one, making it more affordable for many travelers.</p>



<p>2 &#8211; No Ownership Responsibilities:<br>You are not responsible for ongoing maintenance, repairs, insurance, or registration costs; the rental company handles that.</p>



<p>3 &#8211; Variety of Options:<br>Rental companies offer a range of campervan models, sizes, and amenities, allowing you to choose one that suits your needs and preferences.</p>



<p>4 &#8211; Easier to Upgrade or Downsize:<br>You can easily upgrade or downgrade to a different model if your travel plans change.</p>



<p>5 &#8211; Insurance Coverage:<br>Rental companies typically provide insurance coverage, which can give you peace of mind while traveling.</p>



<p>6 &#8211; No Resale Hassles:<br>You don&#8217;t need to worry about selling the campervan when your trip ends; you simply return it to the rental company.</p>



<p>7 &#8211; Less Commitment:<br>Renting offers flexibility, making it suitable for travelers who aren&#8217;t sure about their future plans or who want to try out campervan travel without a long-term commitment.</p>



<p><strong>Cons of Leasing a Campervan in New Zealand</strong></p>



<p>1 &#8211; Rental costs:<br>Over the long term, renting can be more expensive than buying a campervan, especially for extended trips or for frequent travelers.</p>



<p>2 &#8211; Limited customization:<br>You can&#8217;t personalize a rented campervan to the same extent as one that you own.&nbsp;</p>



<p>3 &#8211; Scheduling constraints:<br>You must adhere to the rental company&#8217;s schedule, and return the campervan on time. Or, you may face penalties for late returns.</p>



<p>4 &#8211; Limited availability:<br>During peak travel seasons, the availability of campervans for rent may be limited, and you might not get your first choice.</p>



<p>5 &#8211; Deposits and fees:<br>Rental companies often require a security deposit, and additional fees may apply for certain amenities or services.</p>



<p>6 &#8211; Distance and mileage limits:<br>Some rental companies impose restrictions on the distance or mileage you can travel, which can limit your travels.</p>



<p>7 &#8211; Wear and tear:<br>Rental campervans may have more wear and tear due to frequent use by travelers</p>



<p>8 &#8211; Less privacy<br>Campervans are not exclusively yours, so you may have less privacy compared to owning your own.</p>



<p><strong>What is the inside of the campervan like?</strong></p>



<p>Part of the thought process to evaluate&nbsp;what is it like to take a Campervan through New Zealand involves knowing if you can actually call a van your home for the duration of your trip. We loved having all of our stuff right there with us. For example, when we finished a hike, we could change clothes right then or grab snacks.</p>



<p>We ended up going with the <a href="https://www.jucy.co.nz/our-vehicles/camper-vans/jucy-chaser/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jucy Chaser</a>&nbsp;which you can see featured in all of the pictures. It came with linens, pillows and towels. One thing I didn&#8217;t know before renting a campervan is how they are &#8220;emptied&#8221;. With this model of Jucy (and maybe others), a manual dump was required. This is different from some other vans that have basically a hose you hook up and it drains. Keep this in mind when choosing your campervan. It might not be a big deal for you or you might want to choose the cheaper option but it&#8217;s nice to know in advance.</p>

<p>One fun thing about the Jucy is that every single other Jucy that we passed waved at us and it was pretty fun, although I am positive Austin was embarrassed by the bright colors&#8230;I mean purple and lime green &#8211; heyyyy. A last important point is that the Jucy was not meant for off-roading and we did almost get it stuck when we parked on our first day in the Mt Cook area. So be careful where you are parking!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tips-for-driving-in-new-zealand">Tips for Driving in New Zealand</h2>



<p>Unlike the North Island, you have to rent a car/campervan if you want to see most of the South Island. You can make things even more efficient by arranging to pick up your campervan from the airport upon arrival and then dropping off your campervan at the airport of your final destination. </p>



<p>To further enhance your time in New Zealand, here are some tips when it comes to driving throughout the country. </p>



<ul>
<li><strong>They Drive on the Left Side of the Road </strong>&#8211; Unlike in the US, people in New Zealand drive on the left side of the road. This is important when turning into an intersection. So, go slow and always check in both directions before you make your turn. This is also important in roundabouts where you&#8217;ll drive in a clockwise direction. Always look to your right before entering the roundabout. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Pull Over and Let Traffic Pass If You Are Going Slow</strong> &#8211; Since you have probably never driven in New Zealand, it&#8217;s a good idea to drive slowly. However, this also means that traffic can build up behind you since locals are in a rush and know where they&#8217;re going. If this happens, it is polite to pull over and let others pass. Just do so when it is safe and locals will be very grateful. Also, if someone pulls over for you, show your appreciation by waving, honking, or flashing your lights as a &#8220;thank you&#8221;. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Kiwis Can Be Aggressive Drivers</strong> &#8211; Locals like to go at least the speed limit. So, if you are going slowly then you may have people tailgating you or honking at you to go faster. Ignore them and just pull over when you can so that they can pass. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>It Will Take You Longer Than You Expect</strong> &#8211; Narrow roads mean that you need to go slower and that the drive will probably take you longer. So, budget plenty of extra time for driving in your New Zealand itinerary. This way you can enjoy your trip and don&#8217;t have to rush. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Be Prepared for Narrow, Windy Roads</strong> &#8211; Most roads in New Zealand are well-maintained, but much smaller and narrower than what you&#8217;ll find in the US. Many roads only have two lanes, one for each direction. If you are not used to this then go slow, particularly on gravel and other uneven surfaces. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Have a Valid Driver&#8217;s License</strong> &#8211; If your license is not in English then you&#8217;ll need to carry an international driver&#8217;s license that has been translated into English.  Also, make sure that your driver&#8217;s license is valid for the duration of your trip. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Watch Out for the Speed Limit</strong> &#8211; The police in New Zealand are pretty strict about speed limits. So, try not to speed. In general, the speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas and 100 km/h on expressways and motorways. There are also plenty of speed cameras on the road that will catch you if you attempt to go over the speed limit. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Fill Up Your Car with Gas Before Returning It</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s always a good idea to fill up your gas tank before you return your car or campervan. If you don&#8217;t do this then you could be charged a lot of extra money. In fact, car companies like to charge you way for filling the tank up then the actual cost of gas. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Things Can Close Early</strong> &#8211; In many small towns, things can close as early as 6:00 pm, even grocery stores. So, it&#8217;s a good idea to shop for food and drinks early in the day so that you have everything you need. However, in bigger cities like Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown things can be open a bit later. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Always Check Road Conditions</strong> – In many parts of New Zealand, the weather changes quite rapidly. So, it&#8217;s always a good idea to check road conditions before you set out for the day. After all, weather changes might make your chosen route totally impassable. This is especially important in the winter when roads can become treacherous due to ice and snow. </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Download Offline Maps </strong>&#8211; I like Maps.Me and usually download it before I arrive. But, any offline map is fine since you can run into connectivity issues in some of New Zealand&#8217;s best national parks. And having no signal makes navigating with Google Maps pretty useless.  </li>
</ul>



<ul>
<li><strong>Know Where You Can Drive a Campervan/Motorhome </strong>&#8211; Most rental companies will not allow you to drive these types of vehicles on unsealed roads. You may be able to go for a few kilometers but that is about it since these larger vehicles can get stuck. Other roads to avoid include 90 Mile Beach and Skippers Canyon Road. </li>
</ul>



<p><strong>What it is Like to take a Campervan Through New Zealand FAQs</strong></p>



<p><strong>1 &#8211; Is it Safe to Drive a Campervan in New Zealand?</strong></p>



<p>&nbsp;Generally, it is safe to drive a campervan in New Zealand. But, caution is advised due to single-lane and winding roads, especially during winter when black ice can be a hazard.</p>



<p><strong>2 &#8211; Is a Campervan Worth it in New Zealand?</strong></p>



<p>New Zealand is well-suited for campervans, with plenty of campgrounds and freedom camping sites across the country.</p>



<p>So, finding a spot to rest, shower, and refresh yourself is remarkably easy. Few destinations worldwide offer the convenience of campervan travel that New Zealand does.</p>



<p><strong>3 &#8211; Can you Sleep Anywhere in a Campervan in New Zealand?</strong></p>



<p>In New Zealand, freedom camping in public areas is permissible only with a certified self-contained campervan.</p>



<p>Such vehicles include self-contained waste and sewage facilities, whereas non-certified vans lack these amenities and don&#8217;t meet the legal requirements for freedom camping.</p>



<p><strong>4 &#8211; What is the speed limit for campervans in New Zealand?</strong></p>



<p>In New Zealand, campervans typically adhere to the same speed limits as other vehicles.</p>



<p>On open roads, it&#8217;s 100 km/h (62 mph), while in urban areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph), unless otherwise posted. Also, don’t forget to follow posted speed limits for specific areas.</p>

<p>This easy Salt Lake City hiking trail has an impressive effort to views ratio. It&#8217;s a particularly popular hike during the July wildflower season as the trail takes you directly by a massive wildflower meadow. The first 2/3 of the hike is relatively flat and paved and the last 1/3 is steeper and on rocks that can be slippery. Make sure to wear good shoes with grip, like <a href="https://amzn.to/30DBCty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">these</a>. </p>



<p>The lake at the end is stunning and moose frequent both the trail head and the lake. As a side note, if you visit during wildflower season, be careful not to stand in or walk on the wildflowers. Instead use camera angles to get shots that look like you&#8217;re in the meadow.</p>

<p>To see an impressive number of lakes in a relatively short distance, check out this mountain lake trail &#8211; a favorite Salt Lake City hiking trail. The <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/lake-catherine-via-brighton-lakes-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trail to Lake Catherine</a> is accessed from the Brighton Ski Resort parking lot. Not surprisingly due to its elevation at the trail head, there is a potential for snow even long after summer temperatures have hit the valley. The trail is 4.4 miles round trip but if you are feeling less ambitious, you can stop after <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/lake-mary-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lake Mary for a 2.6 mile hike</a>. Stopping at Lake Mary is often a great option if you are visiting from out of town, are new to hiking, or you have kids.</p>

<p>Silver Lake in American Fork Canyon is technically not in Salt Lake City but it is close enough to count and another stunning hike. One perk of American Fork Canyon is that it does allow dogs. This is only one of two hikes on this list where you can bring your pup. You walk through the river two/three times so they can get a drink. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Note: If you are looking for other good hikes that allow dogs, check out the <a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/millcreek-canyon-hikes-murdock-peak/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hike to Murdock Peak located in Millcreek Canyon</a>.</p>

<p>Seasonally, there are beautiful wild flowers throughout the hike. As a side note, if you visit during wildflower season, be careful not to stand in or walk on the wildflowers. Instead use camera angles to get shots that look like you&#8217;re in the meadow. The last stretch of road before the trail head, it suggests a 4WD vehicle, but you can likely access the trail head without one depending on current road conditions.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/bells-canyon-trail-to-lower-falls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bell&#8217;s Canyon Trail to Lower Falls</a> is of interchangeable difficulty with Silver Lake. However, you could take a shorter option with a quick hike to the <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/lower-bells-canyon-reservoir-loop" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bell&#8217;s Canyon Reservoir</a> and turn around.</p>



<p>The first portion of this hike to the reservoir is exposed. Once you are past the reservoir the trail gets more interesting although it is not very difficult until the last 0.5-1 mile before the falls where it gets rather steep. My favorite time of year to do this trail is during the winter as I actually find the steepness less harsh. However if you opt for this trail in the winter, <a href="https://amzn.to/34yZkKL" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">spikes</a> are a MUST.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/lake-blanche-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lake Blanche</a> is a classic Salt Lake City hiking trail. Located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, you will enjoy the drive to get to the trail head as well. This trail can be demanding but its location and proximity to the Salt Lake Valley can&#8217;t be beat. Because of its accessibility, its a popular choice on weekends and holidays. Start early and go on a weekday in order to <a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/how-to-social-distance-while-hiking/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">avoid the crowds</a>.</p>



<p>Once you get started, you will quickly see why this is a favorite. The canyon views are beautiful, there is a potential to see wildlife, you hike through beautiful Aspen groves, and the lake is very impressive. Be prepared with lots of water, snacks, insect repellent, and flashlights if you get a late start.</p>

<p>Mount Timpanogos is one of Utah’s most recognizable mountains, and another popular mountain hiking destination. At 11,749 feet, it is the second-highest summit of the Wasatch Mountains. This hike technically isn&#8217;t in Salt Lake as it begins in American Fork Canyon, however it&#8217;s not far. </p>



<p>There are two routes that take you to the Timp peak. You can summit either via the <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/mount-timpanogos-trail-from-aspen-grove" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aspen Grove Trail</a>, or via the <a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/mt-timpanogos-timpooneke-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Timpooneke Trail</a>. The Aspen Grove route is considered to be the more difficult route but I definitely prefer it. Along the way to the peak you pass Emerald Lake if you are summiting via Aspen Grove. This would also be a good spot to turn around if you felt like the trail was more strenuous than you anticipated.</p>

<p>While most people do this in a single day hike, you can camp and summit in the morning for sunrise (or anytime during the day). Take a significant amount of water on this hike &#8211; I brought 3 L and started early (before 6AM) and ran out. Due to wind and the elevation at the peak, it can be quite chilly at the top, even in the middle of the summer. Be prepared with extra clothing layers. If you decide to do this trail with snow which can linger into the late summer,&nbsp;<a aria-label="undefined (opens in a new tab)" href="https://amzn.to/2ZGZPAi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">spikes</a> are definitely recommended.</p>

<p>One of my personal favorite Salt Lake City hiking trails is <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/pfeifferhorn-via-red-pine-lakes-trail" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pfeifferhorn via Red Pine Lake trail</a>. This trail is NOT easy and also not for those afraid of heights. Do not attempt to summit Pfeifferhorn if you are unsteady, if there is bad weather, or poor trail conditions. Just going to <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/red-pine-lake" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Red Pine Lake</a> itself is rated as difficult. However, the lake is beautiful and worth the trip. If you turned around at this point this would be a less difficult option that deciding to summit Mount Timpanogos.</p>



<p>The majority of the hike is on a well-maintained and easy to follow trail. Note: it said easy to follow, not &#8220;easy to do&#8221;. The portion of trail between Lower Red Pine Lake and the Alpine Ridge becomes more difficult to follow, but the direction of travel is obvious and should keep you near the correct path. Above Upper Red Pine lake follow the faint steep ridge that leads to the Alpine Ridge. There is a trail, but it is faint and hard to follow. I remember being right in front of the trail and being shocked that I was actually going to be going straight up. </p>



<p>The trail involves scree, scrambling, bouldering and is not for the faint of heart. However if you are up for a challenge it is one I would certainly recommend.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-neff-s-canyon">Neff&#8217;s Canyon</h3>



<p><strong>Number of Miles: 7.0 miles<br>Elevation Gain: 3563 ft<br>Difficulty (1 is easiest &#8211; 5 is hardest): 4<br>Permit Required: No<br>Fees (if applicable): No<br>Dogs Allowed: Yes<br>Best Time of Year to Hike: Fal</strong>l<strong>, winter</strong></p>



<p>This popular, dog-friendly hike takes you on an incredible journey through Neff&#8217;s Canyon to Wildcat Ridge and back. You&#8217;ll start at a high-end neighborhood since the trail begins near a service road with lots of low-lying brush.</p>



<p>You&#8217;ll then gradually climb into the hills as the trail narrows to a dirt path.  Along the way, you&#8217;ll cross a stream and arrive at a meadow where you can enjoy the alpine beauty of this special place. Feel free to turn around whenever you like, but it&#8217;s worth hiking to the meadow all the way at the end of the trail. </p>



<p>This trail is also great for snowshoeing in the winter and in the fall when vibrant foliage takes over the area. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mount-olympus">Mount Olympus</h3>



<p><strong>Number of Miles: 7.0 miles</strong><br><strong>Elevation Gain: 4087 ft</strong><br><strong>Difficulty (1 is easiest &#8211; 5 is hardest): 4</strong><br><strong>Permit Required: No<br>Fees (if applicable): No<br>Dogs Allowed: Yes<br>Best Time of Year to Hike: Fall, Spring</strong></p>



<p>Among the more challenging hikes near Salt Lake City, the summit of Mount Olympus stands 4,000 feet above the city. The trail is steep and mostly unshaded, making it a tough climb during the summer. So, if you have to visit in the summer, opt for a sunrise hike instead. </p>



<p>Yes, this hike features a lot of elevation gain in a short amount of time. But, it&#8217;s worth it for breathtaking views of the city and Wasatch Valley. </p>



<p>If you’re short on time or aren&#8217;t up for this type of challenge, you can always the lower section of the trail. This trail is also dog-friendly, except for the rocky scramble near the top. It requires Class 3 scrambling to reach the top. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-bonneville-shoreline-trail">Bonneville Shoreline Trail</h3>



<p><strong>Number of Miles: 3.3 miles</strong><br><strong>Elevation Gain: 528 ft</strong><br><strong>Difficulty (1 is easiest &#8211; 5 is hardest): 1</strong><br><strong>Permit Required: No<br>Fees (if applicable): No<br>Dogs Allowed: Yes, but must be on a leash</strong><br><strong>Best Time of Year to Hike: Summer</strong></p>



<p>Lake Bonneville once occupied the Salt Lake valley and a significant portion of the surrounding area. The ancient shoreline, which still marks a perfect indentation in the valley&#8217;s foothills, now serves as the baseline for a hundred-mile trail that winds through the hills.</p>



<p>The trail starts in the north and then works its way south, with numerous trailheads giving you access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. However, most people like to access the trail near Hogle Zoo. That&#8217;s because many hikers like to head north to the junction with Dry Creek Canyon. So, enjoy this easy hike in Salt Lake City and hike as much as you like. I love that how much you hike is entirely up to you. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-grandeur-peak-trail-info-below-is-for-the-east-trail">Grandeur Peak (Trail Info Below is for the East Trail)</h3>



<p><strong>Number of Miles: 5.6 miles<br>Elevation Gain: 2352 ft<br>Difficulty (1 is easiest &#8211; 5 is hardest):4<br>Permit Required: No<br>Fees (if applicable): No<br>Dogs Allowed: Yes<br>Best Time of Year to Hike: Year Round</strong></p>



<p>There are two routes that will take you to the top of Grandeur Peak, a gorgeous mountain that sits between Parley’s Canyon and Millcreek Canyon. It stands 3,000 feet above the valley and is accessible via either the East Grandeur Peak Trail (longer but easier) or the West Grandeur Peak Trail (shorter but more challenging). </p>



<p>The challenging West Grandeur Peak hike starts at the northern end of Wasatch Boulevard. From here, you&#8217;ll hike half a mile up to the Bonneville Shoreline trail and continue climbing until you reach the summit several hours later. </p>



<p>However, if you want to take an easier route then try the East Grandeur Peak Trail. It begins at Church Fork in Millcreek Canyon and features a longer, but gentler, climb to the top. Regardless of the hike you choose, you&#8217;ll be rewarded with sweeping views and killer sunsets. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-salt-lake-city-hiking-tips">Salt Lake City Hiking Tips</h2>



<ul>
<li>Start early. Although this was mentioned several times throughout the post, starting early will help with both crowds and heat.</li>



<li>Pack snacks, water, and electrolytes. When hiking, I like to use a hiking pack with a water bladder like&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://amzn.to/2Nj6ngn" target="_blank">this one</a>. Regardless of a water bladder or bottles, consider factors like the shade available on trails, how cloudy/sunny the weather is, and how hot it is outside. A trail with no shade on a sunny day would require about double the water than if it was a cloudy, cool day.</li>



<li>Wear solid, sturdy hiking shoes. I use some similar to&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" href="https://amzn.to/30DBCty" target="_blank">these</a>, but find something that works for you. </li>



<li>Sunscreen is also really important when hiking is there is often not much shade. Utah does have one of the highest rates of melanoma in the country.</li>



<li>Bring bug spray. Depending on the location and time of year this is likely more important sometimes over others.</li>



<li>Layers of clothing help ensure that you stay both warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm –&nbsp;<a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/best-hiking-clothes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consider hiking in wool clothing</a>. This is especially important when bagging peaks as it will be significantly cooler up top. I typically bring a <a href="https://amzn.to/3aUosNr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">packable jacket like this one</a> on all of my hikes.</li>
</ul>

<p>You may have stumbled on this article of things to do in Kanab, Utah for the primary reason of trying to figure out what to do while awaiting the coveted Wave permit.

<p>The lottery for The Wave (Coyote Buttes North) happens both in person and online. Details for the permits can be found <a href="https://www.blm.gov/programs/recreation/permits-and-passes/lotteries-and-permit-systems/arizona/coyote-buttes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-coyote-buttes-south">Visit Coyote Buttes South</h4>



<p>While not as famous as its northern counterpart, Coyote Buttes South is still stunning. If you missed out on the Coyote Buttes North permit, the in-person Coyote Buttes South permit occurs just 30 minutes after the permit for The Wave. The permit can also be won in advance online. Under normal circumstances, Coyote Buttes South would never be considered a &#8220;back-up&#8221; but that&#8217;s how it is treated for those hoping for a chance to see The Wave. </p>

<p>There are several portions to Coyote Buttes South so have a plan for which areas you would like to visit. It is very exposed with limited shade so consider this when planning your trip as it is likely best enjoyed in early morning or late evening. Coyote Buttes South is more difficult to access so 4WD as recommended by the BLM staff is warranted.</p>

<p>Another often considered &#8220;back-up&#8221; to visiting The Wave, checking out White Pocket will have you feeling like you&#8217;ve been transported to an entirely different planet. </p>

<p>Before deciding to visit White Pocket, definitely check with the BLM staff about road conditions. When we visited there were at least 6 inches of sand covering the road and there was no way that an AWD vehicle could have made it. This absolutely required 4WD high clearance.</p>



<p>Alternatively, if you&#8217;re a bit concerned about going it alone then <a href="https://www.getyourguide.com/kanab-l4709/kanab-white-pocket-hiking-tour-in-vermilion-cliff-w-lunch-t47363/?partner_id=FVLX02W&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-top&amp;cmp=KanabUtah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">book this Kanab: White Pocket Hiking Tour in Vermilion Cliff with Lunch</a>.</p>



<p>Not only is it an easy hiking tour that is well-suited for everyone in the family, but you&#8217;ll get picked up from your hotel and escorted to the White Pockets on the Vermillion Cliffs. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s an epic place for taking tons of photos and is a highlight of any trip to the region. Plus, you&#8217;ll get to off-road and take in the region&#8217;s dynamic landscapes before continuing along House Rock Valley road to the Grand Staircase-Escalante.</p>



<p>You&#8217;ll then ascend in your vehicle for another 6,000 feet so that you can go for a hike amidst the cooler weather of higher elevations. </p>

<p>The Wire Pass Trailhead starts on House Rock Valley Road at the same place as the trail head for The Wave, but be prepared as you will see a completely different landscape once the two trails split. Wire Pass is an impressive slot canyon and perfect to check out if you want to see one.

However, be sure to check the weather before attempting this hike as there is very limited space to seek high ground and flash floods would certainly be deadly.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-hike-to-the-toadstools">Hike to the Toadstools</h4>



<p>With a trail head located right off of Highway 89 just east of House Rock Valley Road, you might think that is a reason to pass up this hike to the Toadstools. However, this easy hike is definitely worth a stop. The total hike is under 2 miles and a <a href="https://www.comejoinmyjourney.com/hiking-the-toadstools-utah/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">complete review of this trail is available here</a>. There is very limited shelter (you will notice this theme around Kanab) so this hike is better in the morning or evening.</p>

<p>While most people plan their Grand Canyon [South Rim] trip from Phoenix or Vegas, Kanab is the perfect place to start your trip to the Grand Canyon North Rim. In just under two hours from Kanab, you can visit one of the most popular national parks in an area that does not receive many visitors.</p>



<p>While the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is well-developed, the North Rim side has very limited amenities and one general store. Keep this in mind when planning your trip.</p>

<p>The set of caves without the fee requires a short scramble up to see the caves but you can even tell how close they are to the actual road from some of the pictures.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-coral-pink-sand-dunes">Visit Coral Pink Sand Dunes</h4>



<p>I visited Kanab several times without checking out Coral Pink Sand Dunes and only after my most recent trip when I went twice in two days did I realize that this was a mistake. Coral Pink Sand Dunes is a State Park so there is a fee to enter.</p>



<p>However you actually can access some of the sand dunes without having to go through the official park entrance. During the summer the sand is incredibly hot during the day. Going during early morning or at sunset is a must when the temperatures are warm. Although I am not speaking from experience, sand boarding is a popular activity in Coral Pink Sand Dunes. It&#8217;s on my list for next time.</p>

<p>While this isn&#8217;t much of a hike, visiting Belly of the Dragon is an easily accessible tunnel that looks&#8230;. interesting. To access Belly of the Dragon, you go 16 miles north of Kanab or 1/2 mile south of Carmel Junction along HWY 89. The dirt road is on the west side of the road between two guard rails. Drive a well-maintained dirt road 1/4 a mile to a small parking area on the left.</p>



<p>The actual hike is around 0.5 miles total and while not handicap-accessible it is still considered easy.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-the-national-parks">Visit the National Parks</h4>



<p>While I would recommend staying in Springdale if planning a visit to Zion National Park, and Bryce if planning a visit to Bryce Canyon National Park, both of these parks can still be accessed from Kanab, UT.</p>



<p>Plenty deserving of their own separate trip, Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park are the crown jewels of the Utah Mighty 5 National Parks. These are an absolute must for any Utah road trip itinerary.</p>



<p>Especially accessible from Kanab is the eastern portion of Zion National Park with Canyon Overlook Trail being my most recommended trail in this area of the park. For a full guide to this incredible place check out <a href="https://nicholethenomad.com/travel-blog/zion-national-park-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Ultimate Guide to Zion National Park</a>.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading"> Take a Scenic Drive Along Cottonwood Canyon Road</h4>



<p>This wonderfully scenic drive is full of stop-offs and scenic viewpoints that will quite literally take your breath away. </p>



<p>So, grab your vehicle and continue for 47 miles along this road as you head all the way from Kanab to Kodachrome Basin in the north. </p>



<p>Along the way, you&#8217;ll proceed on an unpaved road and drive through a gorgeous, austere landscape that is the Paria River Valley.</p>



<p>Just be sure to have a look at the weather forecast before you do this drive since rain and mud can be a huge problem. </p>



<p>And if you need to get out and stretch your legs then you can stop at places like Yellow Rock, Hackberry Canyon, and the Cottonwood Canyon Narrows. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-best-friends-animal-sanctuary">Visit Best Friends Animal Sanctuary</h4>



<p>Sitting right near Kananb on Highway 89 is this incredible animal sanctuary. In fact, it was founded in 1993 and is an amazing place that is home to a wide variety of horses, goats, pigs, rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, and more. </p>



<p>So, hop on a public tour and explore the facility at one of four different times daily. Because the goal of this non-profit, no-kill shelter is to help socialize animals until they are ready to be adopted.  </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Explore Lake Powell</h4>



<p><br>The famed lake is just a short jaunt from Kanab, with its Wahweap Marina being one of its easiest access points. Fortunately for visitors, Lake Powell is an excellent place to rent a sea kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or boat to roam free on the water. A full day of paddling would only reveal a tiny portion of this lake’s waterline and winding side canyons, but it’s worth checking out everything you can. Even if you don’t cover a lot of mileage, you’ll enjoy plenty of refreshing splashes as you explore.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-other-fun-things-to-do-in-kanab-utah">Other Fun Things to do in Kanab, Utah</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-great-chamber">The Great Chamber</h4>



<p>The drive to the Great Chamber can be tricky due to uneven, sandy roads that require special vehicles. So, you may want to avoid the stress of driving out there and just book a tour with operators like Roam Outdoor. </p>



<p>They can get you to the Great Chamber and have awesome guides that will take amazing photos of you. Guides also share expert tips about navigating through the sand and let you know secret photo spots that you might miss.</p>



<p>Generally, tours start at around 9:00 am. So, if you visit independently then be sure to leave early to avoid the crowds. This is also when the sand in the area is at its most pristine. Additionally, you may want to bring a wide angle lens for better photos. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-try-a-via-ferrata">Try a Via Ferrata</h4>



<p>Just in case you don&#8217;t know what a Via Ferrata is, it is a protected climbing route that includes steel fixtures like cables and railings that help you climb up a vertical rock wall. You&#8217;ll also be in a harnass, so you won&#8217;t be in any danger of falling. </p>



<p>If you want, you can also have a guide take you through the course. The Via Ferrata in Kanab equal parts fun and challenging. So, get ready to break a sweat as you traverse across rocks and repel down a 180 foot tall rock wall after the climb. Just be sure to wear shoes with traction since it makes climbing along the Via Ferrata much easier. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-the-kanab-sand-caves">Visit the Kanab Sand Caves</h4>



<p>Located a bit south of Moqui Cave, this unique cave system is manmade, features five openings, and was created by local sand miners many years ago. Today, you can explore the sand caves and can actually walk here from Moqui Cave. However, I&#8217;d probably just park at Moqui since it&#8217;s easier that way. </p>



<p>The trail begins on the other side of the road and has you scramble up to a higher ledge along a cliff that you follow it up into the caves.  In total, the hike is 0.5 miles long. However, it does get steep and you may want to take the trail on the left since it&#8217;s not as intense. Also be sure to wear shoes with good traction since there is sand everywhere. </p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-visit-the-little-hollywood-museum">Visit the Little Hollywood Museum</h4>



<p>This crazy, super unique museum is totally free to enter and features iconic movie sets, unique Hollywood memorabilia, a gift shop, and more. So, bring your camera because this is a great place to take photos. </p>



<p>Essentially, this museums pays homage to Kanab&#8217;s past as a filming location for many beloved westerns. In fact, so many movies were shot here that the town earned itself the nickname &#8220;Little Hollywood&#8221;. Today, Hollywood is long gone, but the museum remains.</p>



<p>During your visit, keep an eye out for fun plaques that commemorate different people in the industry and see if you can attend one of their Dutch-oven dinners. It&#8217;s really neat and includes Western-inspired entertainment as well as a full-on Chuckwagon.</p>
