The excitement I have for the upcoming Spring/Summer hiking season is massive! It seems the last few summers we’ve always had “something” holding us back a bit like injuries, pregnancy, newborn, etc… It seems like this is our first Summer that we’re really ready to just plow through a huge list of hikes/outdoor adventures.

On day two of our trip, we ventured over to Drift Creek Falls for a nice hike to see the magnificent suspension bridge and waterfall! Getting to the trailhead was a pretty drive a little off the beaten path, but maybe only a 20 min drive from the beach where we were staying.  It was […]
