I Ditched the City for Hell…

Not literally, of course.

But I did drive 3 hours to hike a few trails at Devil’s Lake State Park. Its been on my agenda for a very long time but I struggle with procrastination. So on one of Chicago’s warmer days, I decided to flee the city and its “Sunday Funday” shenanigans in exchange  for a nice hike in nature with awesome company!

I wont bore you with why I wanted to get out the city, but I think nature has a good way of helping you find peace and hitting reset. Maybe you can find peace by looking at these photos, hopefully it’ll motivate you to plan your own hike.

 

P.S. As I’m typing this my legs are still sore, but I regret nothing. 🙂

Red Rock Canyon

After a weekend of Vegas Strip life, it was nice to wind down and drive to Red Rock Canyon. I went with a few friends and enjoyed endless laughs as we hiked our way to the top. I would recommend hiking, as you get a better view of the canyon and a great excercise to work off all of those Vegas buffets. The scenery was breathtaking, so peaceful and calm. It was a great way to do Sunday Funday!
