Millcreek Canyon is one of my favorite spots in Northern Utah for a few reasons. 1) It allows dogs so we can bring Dex. 2) It has such close proximity to Salt Lake City. Millcreek Canyon is open all year. There is a $5 fee paid upon exit of the canyon. However they have a gate about halfway up the canyon that is closed November 1 – June 30 every year. If you are looking for Millcreek Canyon hikes when…
Earlier this week Austin and I flew from SLC -> ATL -> CLT on Delta and I wrote about it here. We headed home with two flights (CLT -> DFW -> SLC) on American Airlines on Sunday. Here is my update on what it is like to be flying in 2020. Wondering what my experience of flying on Delta last weekend was like? Check out this post here. If you missed the last post, I’ll give you a quick recap:…
I don’t have to tell you that travel in 2020 has changed. Drastically. For me personally, I went from flying 2-8 times per week, to not leaving the house for three months. So when Austin’s regularly scheduled week off was coming up and we found ourselves with cancelled plans to Norway, we decided to head to North Carolina.

If you have seen some of my previous blog posts, you know that at the beginning of 2020, I made a goal to read one book per month and listen to one audiobook per month and then write a blog post on each. Despite this being a travel blog, travel still allows a for a lot of down time that can be spent productively. One of the audiobooks I chose came as a recommendation and it’s more of a “project” than…

Despite this being a travel blog, travel still allows a for a lot of down time that can be spent productively. So I wrote a post about You are a Badass at Making Money to review the book since I listened to in February. And then along came COVID. I…
I will admit, when I first ventured into the outdoors, the last thing I wanted to do was buy any specific clothes for hiking. However, after trying lots of alternatives, I found out that the best hiking clothes were likely not what I had originally considered. I thought (incorrectly) that maybe dry fit was the best option, But after a lot of time spent on the trails, I discovered that the best hiking clothes were actually made of wool. The…
Last week, we talked about 51 things to do while social distancing. Of course one of those things was to plan some travel for when things get back to normal. But if planning alone isn’t giving you that taste of wanderlust you are craving, consider virtual museum tours.

Here is an article to reference for some guidance if you are unsure. However, as you can tell, even the experts are a bit conflicted.
