This weekend we checked out Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville, TX. Did a good amount of hike-a-biking as we didn’t have suspension, but nevertheless we had a nice time and enjoyed exploring a new-to-us mountain biking spot. The trails are single track, well kept, with a good balance of leveled options. Bathrooms and showers were nice too. We will definitely be back!

The weather in Houston this week has been perfect

The weather in Houston this week has been perfect for camping and for hot springing. While we can't get out and about, we do enjoy looking back at our photos and remembering some of our favorite experiences in the outdoors. This one was pretty great: soaking in natural hot springs that cascaded down to a river below. Beautiful sunset glow and hot water to heal our sore feet, a wonderful end to our daytrip to Crater Lake National Park. Check out the link in our bio to all the details from our trip to Umpqua Hot Springs and the famous national park that sits next door. We hope you get to visit it too someday.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

About an hour away from Crater Lake National Park

About an hour away from Crater Lake National Park sits a cascading set of geo thermal pools called Umpqua Hot Springs. Sitting right above the Umpqua River, these springs send 105 degree water steadily dripping down into a few larger and several smaller pools perfect for soaking in. Find out more about this rad location at the most recent post on our blog. Link in bio.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Garfield Peak is a beautiful vantage point from which to take in a full view of the 6 mile wide Crater Lake. The hike begins just behind Crater Lake Lodge in Rim Village (which is open May to October). The hike ascends about 1,000 feet, winding along the rim with several lookouts along the way. The best view by far, though, is at the peak, where you get a broad view of the lake, including Wizard Island and Phantom Ship. Directly across the lake, to the north, you can see the peak of Mt. Thielson, and to the south, you can see Mt. Shasta. Roundtrip, this hike takes about an hour and a half, give or take depending on your speed and how many pictures you stop and take. If you only have a short amount of time at the park, we'd highly recommend both this trail and Cleetwood Cove Trail!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In October, when we visited Crater Lake, it was a chilly 55 outside but we still had to jump in. The water was too clear, too inviting, and there was no way we were going to walk away saying "I wished we would've...". So we did it. We walked to the edge of some rocks, jumped out and into the cold water, and gasped for air because it took our breath away. As we hiked back to our car we had a beautiful, albeit cold, memory to smile back on and no regrets. Life's better when you leap.
