Exploring Underground Ice Caves

Pete — Tue, 03 May 2022 01:16:19 +0000

Looking for an epic day-long adventure near St Anthony, ID? While on our trip to dunes, we set out on dual-sport bikes to search for some so-called ice caves. I was skeptical that they were even worth the drive, but they blew our minds and far exceeded our expectations. These frozen over lava tube caves seemed like they went on forever. A few spots were super tight where we had to crawl through...

Sprinter Van Adventures In Williams, AZ

With summer soon coming to a close, it’s easy to get excited about cooler temperatures. However, when you live in Vegas that doesn’t happen until late October or early November. It’s now the middle of September and we still had an excessive heat warning issued! Although it’s probably the last one of the summer, Anna and I had no intentions of being part of it. It was time to do what we usually do...

At the end of May, we were prepared to hit Snow Summit bike park in Big Bear for their season opener over Memorial weekend. Mother Nature had different plans though. Instead of warm and sunny weather on the mountain, there was snow on the trails and the top of the mountain was in the 40’s during the day. We don’t mess around with cold, crappy weather so we decided to head to Utah instead where the...

Hiking Arches National Park in June

Pete — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 00:41:44 +0000

Arches National Park is generally a place you would want to visit during the cooler months. It can get very warm during the day if you want to hike to some of the arches and points of interest. Much of the park you can see by simply driving through, but if you want to get up close to the arches, you have to hike (walk) to them. Since our trip was in late June, the daytime temperatures got close to...
