Adventures
Mogensen Trail (2023)
The second time on this trail, but in a different season. The differences were evident. The trail was much greener, more water was flowing down the falls, and more people were on the trail. We happened to hike on the same day as a major base jumping event, and were even tasked with being impromptu videographers for a marriage proposal from one of the jumpers. It was an awesome hike.
City of Rocks & Castle Rocks Recon
We make a quick dash down to the City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park. This is a recon mission to get some information and see if it is worth a return trip. Spoiler Alert: It is. We take in the sights briefly, and discover so much that remains to be explored. With some handy information form the visitor center we are already beginning to plan a multi-day stay in this iconic and incredible part of Idaho.
Box Canyon Springs Reserve
Box Canyon Springs is a gorgeous hike through a box canyon along the Snake River just southeast of Wendell, ID. This hike features crystal-clear spring water, waterfalls, and incredible views. On this trip, we take the out-and-back approach. We did not swim, but that will almost always be the case since hiking in wet clothes is not something we enjoy. We hope you enjoy coming along on this adventure with us, and hope you are able to enjoy some adventures of your own.
Cleo’s Ferry Museum & Nature Trail
During this adventure we explore a hidden gem of Idaho called Cleo’s Ferry Museum. It is a place we had heard about from time to time and we finally ended up nearby so we took the slight detour to explore. We never expected what we found.
China Ditch Trail
This adventure we hike a new trail, called China Ditch Trail, with the Hiking Idaho group. It was a big turnout with some folks, like us, experiencing this trail for the first time. Others, have hiked this trail often. It was incredible, even though spring hadn’t yet reached the area to green things up. The landscape was diverse, the hike was enjoyable and somewhat challenging at times, and the weather was mostly cooperative. A must-do hike in our opinion, and one we will return to in the future.
