I first learned about Havasupai through Instagram in 2015 and when I saw the pictures I thought “there is no way the water is that color blue!” But to my surprise, the water really is that color! It looks like water you’d find in the Caribbean, except you’re in the middle of the Grand Canyon! The gorgeous, sought-after waterfalls are located in the small village of Supai, Arizona. This guide covers everything you need to know about backpacking to Havasupai including, permit information, campgrounds, and more!

Yosemite National Park is my favorite national park of all time and one of the most iconic parks in the world. Yosemite is known for the famous Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. And don't get me wrong, those places are amazing, but there is SO much more to this park that often gets overlooked. Don't do what everyone else is doing — travel to parts of the park that are less explored! I've been to Yosemite 10+ times and this guide holds map pins and information for all of my favorite hikes, camp spots, hotels, and best places to explore in Yosemite. Use it to craft one big trip, or multiple small trips and choose your own adventure! I've included both the iconic places you have to see (especially if it is your first visit to Yosemite) and also the less touristy spots that you don't want to miss. Things that are covered: - Entrances and details around which entrance to use - Where to stay (hotels, campgrounds, and surrounding town information) - Hike recommendations - Things to see This is a living map, meaning that every time I return to Yosemite and do something new (which is often), I'll add to it, and you'll get all of the updates automatically! If you find this information helpful, any tips are appreciated for my work.

When you think of visiting Southern California beaches, you probably think about visiting iconically known spots like Santa Monica or Malibu. But those famous spots are so touristy and crowded and to be honest, there are a lot of other beach options that are way prettier. Let me introduce you to one of the best beaches in Southern California — Hermosa Beach! I've lived in Hermosa Beach for 3+ years now, so this guide gives you all of the local tips you need to experience the best of the best. Plus, Hermosa is located in the South Bay right outside of Los Angeles so you can reach it by a short car ride.
