I get out early and hike Lone Wolf Trail in Castlewood State Park. At 2.1 miles Lone Wolf is the shortest trail I’ve hiked at Castlewood, and while I was skeptical at first by the end I was won over and wishing it was longer. One again, Castlewood did not disappoint.

Hiking and trail running along the stunning cliff top views of the River Scene Trail in Castlewood State Park just outside St. Louis, Missouri.

Wild and woolly Sandstone Canyon Trail in Don Robinson State Park in Jefferson County, Missouri. Don Robinson State Park is an 800 acre park that lies within the LaBarque Creek Natural Area and was donated to Missouri State Parks in 2012 by St. Louis businessman Don Robinson.

Today Abby and I hike 4.2 miles on the Grotpeter Trail in Castlewood State Park in Ballwin, Missouri. Castlewood State Park is one of the most popular state parks in Missouri and the Grotpeter Trail Loop circles the entire park. This is the first trail we hit as we start exploring Missouri hiking trails; as far as St. Louis area hikes go, it wasn’t too shabby!

Got to love a good snow hike! Today we’re exploring Alderfer / Three Sisters Park in Evergreen Colorado and hiking Three Sisters Loop which has three snowy peaks and the Brothers Lookout. This day hike is 1 hour from Denver and it’s just gorgeous being surrounded by the beautiful Evergreen Colorado snow. Definitely a highlight hike with friends.

Welcome back to the second half of our hike through Staunton State Park near Conifer, Colorado. In this section my friends and I hike to the top of the final scenic overlook, through an enchanting aspen grove, and to Staunton’s Old Mill which was built in the 1800s. We also get barked at by a not too friendly squirrel. Thanks for joining us on this hike!

Staunton State Park is Colorado’s newest state park and is located near Conifer, Colorado, about 45 minutes from Denver. If you’re looking for where to hike near Denver this is perfect day hiking in Colorado.

If you’ve ever wondered where to hike in Los Angeles or Burbank, let me introduce you to my favorite hiking trail in LA: Vital Link Trail to Verdugo Peak in Wildwood Canyon. This Burbank hiking trail is a toughy, but on a clear day you get gorgeous 360 views of the San Fernando Valley, Angeles National Forest, and even Downtown LA. It’s a steep hike, and for sure one of the hardest hikes in LA, in my opinion though, 100 percent worth it!

Whats Malibu like? Today I’m showing you as I hike one of Malibu’s top scenic spots Corral Canyon Trail for a sunset Malibu hike. Malibu isn’t cheap, but one of the cheap things to do in Malibu is go hiking on one of the Malibu hiking trails. The Corral Canyon Trail offers amazing Malibu ocean views and if you’re wondering where to watch the sunset in Malibu, it’s a great spot!
