A year ago tonight we arrived at Joshua Tree Natio A year ago tonight we arrived at Joshua Tree National Park right after sunset. We caught a glimpse of the park before the last light as we made our way to our campsite. We wouldn’t know how stunning the desert landscape truly was until the following day but boy was it a beautiful night! We spent hours stargazing, saw several shooting stars, camped under the vast desert sky and were welcomed by a beautiful sunrise over the desert mountains the next morning. This was truly a night I’ll never forget! ✨🖤

HAPPY HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY to my National Park obse HAPPY HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY to my National Park obsessed, adventure loving, hard working, kind hearted, coffee making, mutually weird best friend! I can’t imagine doing life without you. I hope that year 34 is your best yet! (I’ll do my best to make it happen!)

Here’s to another trip around the sun ☀️
2024 was definitely a life changing one in many wa 2024 was definitely a life changing one in many ways. There were so many ups and downs. There were plenty of hard times, but also many good ones. It was filled with lots of love and travel but also plenty of anxiety and heartache. It led me to learn so much about myself. I finally decided to take control of my mental health and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I enrolled in school again to my bachelor’s degree (something I never thought I would never be able to do because of my mental health). I’ve come a long way this year but plan on working on myself even more in this year to come. It’s time to take control of my physical health, focus on self care and strengthen my friendships and relationships. 

Here’s to hoping that 2025 treats everyone I know and love with kindness. And that we treat ourselves with that same kindness too. 🫶🏼 HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL! ✨

**side note: we started 2024 on the beaches of Florida last year and are ending it the same way! 🌊☀️
I can’t believe I’m just getting around to sha I can’t believe I’m just getting around to sharing a few clips from our amazing trip to Northern Arkansas in October. Life has been crazy lately! 

If you’ve been here a while, you know we take an anniversary trip every October. We usually visit a new National Park (or two or three). This year we weren’t able to plan a big trip so we opted to stay close and took a roadtrip to Northern Arkansas instead. It was only about a 9 hour drive from Southeast Louisiana. We’ve visited the Hot Springs and Little Rock area many times but this was our first time exploring Northern Arkansas and it blew our minds! 

We spent a few nights camping in the rooftop tent, spent a few nights in Eureka Springs at some of America’s most haunted hotels, did some hiking, explored multiple caves, enjoyed some perfect fall weather and completely fell in love with the area. I’m already excited to go back to explore more. 🍂

I’ll definitely have to share some more about our trip because Northern Arkansas truly is a hidden gem! 🖤
I’ve officially finished my second semester of s I’ve officially finished my second semester of school! If you would have told me a year ago that I’d be back in school going for a degree in marketing/graphic design I would’ve laughed in your face. What a weird year this year has been! 🫠

This past semester I got to take a Creative Photography class and it made my creative soul so happy! So here are some of my favorite shots I took this semester. I can’t wait to build out my portfolio even more 📷

I had to make a 30 second introduction video for m I had to make a 30 second introduction video for my mass communication class. It took me 30 minutes and about 30 takes to get it right. I may have struggled to make a 30 second video but I sure do have more than 30 seconds of bloopers. So enjoy this video of me at 7:30 in the morning sitting in the middle of my living room trying to simply introduce myself 😩🙈🙃 let’s hope video making isn’t in my future 😬

Hi I’m Paige and I’m addicted to fall hikes 👋🏼🍂

I know it’s only the second day of summer but it’s the perfect time to start planning your fall trip to Washington! I just posted a blog post where I share details on 3 of my absolute favorite fall hikes in Washington. Trust me, you need to add them all to your bucket list. Head to the link in my bio to check it out!

It never fails that I always choose a hike that ha It never fails that I always choose a hike that has epic views but the trail is hella sketchy! I can’t count the times I’ve cried while hiking thinking I won’t be able to finish - but I always do! I’ve been stuck so many times just thinking “this is how I die” or “I wonder how much it’ll cost for someone to rescue me”. 

Keep reading to see which trails are shown in this reel and my menty b story for each…

Lake Agnes Teahouse - Lake Louise, Alberta - the trail was completely iced over and we didn’t bring traction devices 🙃 we were slipping and sliding the whole way up the mountain. But the time I made it to the teahouse I was in tears and wondering how I was going to get down. Turns out, sliding down was the best part! 

Mount Storm King - Olympic NP, Washington - this is one of the steepest hikes I’ve ever done! Past a certain point the trail is no longer maintained by the NPS and random hikers installed ropes to help you up to the summit. Of course I got stuck and was shaking with fear. This was definitely one of the sketchiest hikes I’ve ever done but the views were so worth it! 😍

Macrae Peak - Grandfather Mountain, NC - this trail consists of 9 ladders you have to climb and plenty of cliffs to scale to get to the top. I got stuck on one of the ladders and was crying and shaking and had to really push myself to keep going. It’s definitely a nightmare of a hike for anyone afraid of heights but one of the best hiking memories was making it to the top! ⛰️

What’s the sketchiest hike you’ve ever done? I need to add some new ones to my bucket list 😬
I think I have a thing for gorgeous lakes 🤩💙 I think I have a thing for gorgeous lakes 🤩💙 

This photo was taken at Lake Wenatchee State Park in Leavenworth, WA this past October. We were heading back to Seattle after an amazing week exploring Mount Rainier and North Cascades National Parks and we decided to make one last stop to check out the lake. I am SO glad we decided to stop because it ended up being one of my favorite spots in all of Washington.

Because we visited in the off season it wasn’t crowded at all and it was so quiet and peaceful! The water was chilly but felt so good on my blistered feet from a week of strenuous hiking. We spent a few hours here just taking in the views and enjoying the cold water. I am definitely going to make sure I make it back here and camp out next time! 

Be sure to add Lake Wenatchee to your Washington bucket list!

One of the coolest parts of my job, as a buyer for One of the coolest parts of my job, as a buyer for an outdoor retailer, is attending seasonal trade shows. Not only is it so fun to see all of the next seasons gear, I get to travel to some pretty cool places too! This year the spring trade show we attend was in Reno, NV. I got to cross off a new state (state #27!) and we got to add on a few extra days beforehand to explore the beautiful Lake Tahoe! 

Here are a few notes about our trip: 

📍We stayed in Incline Village, NV which was only a 45 minute drive from the Reno airport!

🚲 We rented e-bikes and enjoyed a beautiful ride along Lake Tahoe on the East Shore Trail which runs along the lake from Incline Village to Sand Harbor at Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park.

🛶 We didn’t get to rent kayaks, but there are so many places you can rent kayaks, canoes or paddle boards to get out on the lake and explore… next time!

☀️ Early June seemed to be the perfect time to visit! The weather was beautiful, the water was cold but refreshing and we got plenty of sunshine while we were there.

🛣️ Though Lake Tahoe is huge and spans across the state line from Nevada to California, it’s an easy drive to make the entire loop around the lake. It only takes about 3-4 hours and there are plenty of places to stop and sight see along the way!

I’m already excited about next years spring show to head back to Reno! I’m looking forward to exploring more of the area!
