Would it surprise you if this was more than a snow drift?⁠
⁠
What if I was to tell you that this is a pink sand dune? Yes, it's pink, it just happens to be covered in snow at the moment.⁠
⁠
Arizona is one of our go-to winter destinations but sometimes we forget how diverse the climate is between the simmering landscape outside of Tucson to the peaks around Prescott. ⁠
⁠
Northern Arizona may be dramatically beautiful and secluded but in the winter, much of it is covered with snow. So we don't get to see the titular landscape of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. But we are running out of daylight and the park has electrical hookups. So we shrug our shoulders and run our little electric heater to our heart's delight.⁠

It’s not every night we camp on a cliff, surrounded by water with snow-capped mountains in the background. But at Stewarts Point, that describes almost every site we consider. ⁠

Fed by the Colorado River and dammed by that Hoove

Fed by the Colorado River and dammed by that Hoover structure you may have heard of, Lake Mead is a fun paddling destination east of Las Vegas, Nevada. But not when it’s windy...⁠
⁠
Yes, after having my paddling bubble (and kayak) burst last summer, we finally are back on the water with @kokopelli packrafts.⁠
⁠
It may be a little chilly out, but we are determined to make the most out of these handy light watercraft. So, consider this the winter of watersports because I have a long to-do list for the season.⁠
⁠
(But feel free to help add to my list with any paddling suggestions in the comments)⁠
⁠
Otherwise, you can check out the story of our first paddling adventure on our website. (link in bio)⁠

When we talk about Lake Meade, we normally think about, well, 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧. ⁠
⁠
But there's so much more. ⁠
⁠
Sure, there's the Hoover Dam. But there are also amazing rock formations all easily reached along the scenic Northshore Road. ⁠
⁠
It's just another example of those serendipitous surprises when we allow ourselves the time to wander.⁠
