Best Zion National Park hikes

by Hannah Kacary Zion National Park

With all the National Parks we visited across the US on our three month USA road trip we tried to get in at least one hike. Zion National Park, Utah was no exception. How could it be when there are so many incredible Zion National Park hikes? We did the Angel's Landing trail in Zion which is very well known for its steep drop-offs and beautiful vistas. If you're planning a trip to Zion and ...

Artist Point Snowshoe, Mt Baker

by Hannah Kacary Mt Baker, WA

On a clear day you can see Mt Baker in Washington State from Vancouver. That sight still blows my mind. Since we've recently got some new Canadian visas, we decided to head down on a weekend road trip to the US to get a bit closer to Mt Baker. On the itinerary: do an artist point snowshoe hike and then spend the following day skiing at Mt Baker ski resort. The Artist Point snowshoe trail ...

How to find cheap flights everywhere (but especially Canada!)

by Hannah Kacary Worldwide

Do you want to know one of the things I miss the absolute most about living in the UK? The cheap flights. Gone are the days where I can get a return flight for £30 ($53CAD) to an entirely different country with a different culture just for the weekend. Instead, they've been replaced with return flights for hundreds of dollars where I'm only a few hour's drive away from where I started. And to get ...

A first timers guide to Zion National Park, Utah

by Hannah Kacary Zion National Park

I don't think I'd ever heard of Zion National Park before visiting as part of our three month USA road trip. It's definitely a popular National Park (one of the most visited in the US!) but it's not quite on the level of The Grand Canyon or Yosemite, at least when it comes to how well it's known in the UK. If you're wondering whether to visit Zion National Park, Utah then the answer should ...

Grand Canyon South Rim best hikes

by Hannah Kacary Grand Canyon National Park

Ah, the Grand Canyon...as the name suggests it's an absolutely huge canyon. This place will blow you away no matter how many times you see pictures of it. What better way to enjoy visiting the Grand Canyon South Rim than to get out there and do one (or more!) of the Grand Canyon South Rim's best hikes? I honestly think that one of the top Grand Canyon activities is going for a hike. This list ...

A guide to the Grand Canyon’s South Rim

by Hannah Kacary Grand Canyon National Park

Out of all the National Parks we visited, the Grand Canyon National Park had to be the one I'd heard the most about. I mean, who hasn't heard of the Grand Canyon?! What I hadn't realised is that there are different parts of the Grand Canyon you can visit. It makes sense since the canyon itself is so huge, but it's not something I'd considered before. We ended up visiting the Grand Canyon's South Rim ...

What to pack for Bryce Canyon National Park

by Hannah Kacary Bryce Canyon National Park

Are you planning a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park and wondering what to pack? It can be tricky knowing what to take with you when you visit a National Park. This is especially true when it comes to knowing what to pack for Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon is at a high elevation and so it can get pretty chilly no matter what time of the year. You should also expect snow ...

Manning Park Snowshoe trip to Windy Joe Mountain

by Hannah Kacary Manning Park, BC

I think if you embrace winter by still getting outdoors then it makes the short days and grey skies a lot more bearable. I'm a skier and so have always loved getting up into the mountains bust since moving to Vancouver I've enjoyed a different way of experiencing snowy landscapes: snowshoeing. I've done a couple of snowshoe trips so far this winter with hopefully a few more to come! More recently I embarked on my ...

The best hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park

by Hannah Kacary Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah quickly became one of my favourite nationals parks when we visited. Never before had I seen those unique Bryce Canyon hoodoo rock formations found in the Bryce Canyon amphitheatre. We spent about one day in Bryce Canyon, Utah but spread over two: one afternoon where we drove the scenic road to the furthest point, and a morning where we took some chilly hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park. You could ...

A guide to Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

by Hannah Kacary Bryce Canyon National Park

Bryce Canyon National Park was one of many National Parks we were lucky enough to visit during our road trip around the USA in Elvis the Van. It was also one of my favourites. Each National Park turned out to be so different and special in their own right, but Bryce Canyon, Utah was like nothing that I'd ever seen before. It also helped that it wasn't that busy when we visited either! If you're ...
