Tucson Mountain Park: Bowen House Ruins

Posted on May 2, 2023by Gabby

It feels like ages ago Mama Boots and I hiked our way through Tucson in early March. In typical ‘me’ fashion, I just had to squeeze in one more trek before we hit the airport.

Sabino Canyon Recreation Area

Posted on April 13, 2023by Gabby

With Saguaro National Park enveloping the east and west, it’s hard to believe there’s more to see in Tucson–but there’s trails all around, including the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area to the north!

Easy Hikes in Saguaro National Park’s Tucson Mountain District

Posted on April 5, 2023April 5, 2023by Gabby

When I ask you to think of a cactus, what comes to mind? For some, succulents. For others, maybe a prickly pear margarita. But to most, what comes to mind is the iconic Saguaro.

Don’t Skirt the Issue! The Beauty of Hiking Skirts

Posted on March 29, 2023by Gabby

I’ve seen many a woman rave about hiking skirts. I admit, I at first scoffed at the idea, but for snowshoeing, or even being out in the city during a snowstorm, I learned they are a great way of braving the elements!

Off the Grid Snowshoeing in Winthrop

I am incredibly fortunate to have my in-laws live in an amazing location: Winthrop, Washington. There’s year-round outdoor activities here, including some great snowshoeing!

Hikes Available Year-Round

Posted on March 1, 2023by Gabby

With the right gear, determination, and knowledge, almost any hike can be done year-round. But snow can be dangerous and tough, so I like to always have some ideas for snow-free trails year-round.

May Valley – Bullitt Fireplace Loop

Another winter’s day, another trip out to the Issaquah Alps for some snow-free miles. But this one was at least interesting!

Margaret’s Way to Debbie’s View

Posted on February 15, 2023by Gabby

The doldrums of winter in the PNW. It’s a well-known joke about those deceptively sunny-but-cold days in February/March being known as ‘faux spring,’ but the mountains can still be too snow-filled for hikes. Enter the Issaquah Alps!

On a soggy January day, I resolved to get out there, damn the weather! But there’s only so many places one can go in PNW winters.

The Ultimate San Francisco to Bend Road Trip for Hikers

Posted on February 2, 2023February 2, 2023by Gabby

If you love hiking, and like a lot of people in the US right now, are craving some sunshine and Vitamin D, it’s easy to dream about trips to take in the coming months. I thought the trip I did with Mama Boots in 2019 was a perfect recommendation!
