I loved staying at Briar Patch Inn in Sedona and highly recommend them. I felt far away from civilization and totally immersed in nature….but still had access to a warm bed and a hot shower. Truly the best of both worlds. There was a beautiful creek just a couple steps away from our cabin. Check out more photos to inspire you to stay here!

If you love train rides and beautiful views, you need to check out a Sky Railway train ride in beautiful and artsy Santa Fe, New Mexico!
Santa Fe is about an hour from Albuquerque and you can easily take a train ride from Albuquerque to Santa Fe to explore the town and then do a train ride in Santa Fe.
We drove to Santa Fe and checked out a sunset train ride. It was such a cool experience with beautiful views. I personally just love being on a train. There is a bartender on board so I enjoyed a beer, champagne, and a small charcuterie plate.
Check out all of my photos to inspire you to book a ticket!

Shaw Butte was the very first hike on the list of ‘moderate’ hikes. This was such a great hike with beautiful views and I could definitely feel the step up in skill level. I had to stop and rest a few times just because the hike is SO STEEP. It’s probably one of the steepest hikes I’ve done (I think it may even be steeper than Tumamoc Hill in Tucson).
