Hiking at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona

There’s a reason why they call it Island in the Sky. That’s because this section of #Canyonlands National Park sits atop a mesa nearly 1,500 feet high so you almost feel as if you are walking among the clouds. ☁️💙☁️
It was our last stop in the park, which we almost skipped. But here we were, alone in this amphitheatre of awe and wonder at Arches National Park, bathing in the warm light of an otherwise cool February afternoon.
Destination: #Rome, Italy. Ciao, bello. 💛
Raise your hand if you’re looking forward to the weekend. 🌵 #desertvibes #travel #scottsdale #arizona
Today on the blog: Two thumbs up for Tom’s Thumb, a short but challenging trail in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. 👍 Link in profile to read more about this incredible area to hike in #Scottsdale! 🏞
Friday night lights. ✨🌴✨
Today on the blog: Travel back in time at Petrified Forest National Park. Some of the logs found here are 225 million years old, predating even the dinosaurs! 🦖 Link in profile to read more about this under the radar national park. #travel #petrifiedforest #nationalpark #findyourpark
Nothing but blue skies in the Blue Forest. 💙 #petrifiedforest #nationalpark #findyourpark
Fun fact: The saguaro cactus can live for 150-200 years and it’s arms don’t typically appear until 50-100 years.🌵Thanks for the views Scottsdale!
