Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul – John Muir

Join me, my family, and friends as we explore the west! There is so many wonderful things to see in the western U.S., I know I could spend the rest of my life exploring it and not have covered everything. This blog will bring you stories and pictures about our travels. I hope we give you information and education so that you, your friends, and family are inspired to enjoy the outdoors as well!

A little about me: I am an RN, and mother of two young boys who love to visit our national and state parks. Like John Muir stated, nature will heal you. While this blog is a place to share outdoor experiences. I might occasionally also post about something health related…it’s the nurse in me.
