After our stop at the Hoover Dam, we traveled north to the Valley of Fire. It wasn’t as hot as Hoover Dam, but we were still sweating from all the hiking. Gorgeous landscape in the middle of nowhere!
Up bright and early on a Saturday, with our first stop at the Hoover Dam before heading to Valley of Fire. With the temperatures already in the 80s in the morning, thank goodness for air conditioning!
I had the whole day to myself before the rest of the group arrived in Vegas, so I decided to start it off at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park in Nevada after landing in Las Vegas.
Let’s do a throwback to early July 2014! A few friends and I went on a random weekend trip to New Orleans to check out what the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and the NOLA food scene had to offer. Hand Grenade, Purple Drink, and Hurricane cocktails…what could go so right?
During my visit to California to visit family in Sacramento, I took the opportunity to go hang out in San Francisco for the Thanksgiving weekend with some of my cousins. Did the usual sightseeing then went crabbing before heading back to Sacramento.
A few places to hang out at before leaving Portland until next time!
