Elizabeth Lake is a 4.8 mile moderate hiking trail in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park California. 1000 ft of elevation gain is achieved to get to this beautiful and pristine lake. Let me take you on a tour of this amazing trail.
Located 30 minutes from Las Vegas and in the Red Rock Canyon area is Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. Admission is $10 for the day. This ranch was once owned by German actress Vera Krupp and Millionaire Howard Hughes. I filmed this in November 2023, so there were beautiful fall colors all around the property! There are 3 short and pretty easy hiking trails here that most people can do. I enjoyed all 3 of them, and I will show you how awesome it is to hike here!

I filmed this back in September 2019 which was a great time of year to hike here. The Rubicon Trail is the most beautiful trail in Lake Tahoe. I did about a 10-mile portion of it from D.L Bliss State Park to Vikingsholm in Emerald Bay. Incredible views the entire hike through! Here is my vlog of this one of a kind hiking trail!

Snow Canyon State Park is right outside of St George Utah and around a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas. Snow Canyon is a very beautiful state park with lots and lots of amazing hiking trails! I met up with my good friends from YouTube Channel Within Hiking Distance on this adventure. The cinder cone trail is 1.7 miles round trip with around 500' of elevation gain and I label it as moderate. Great views from the top of the cinder cone and you can actually hike down into the cinder cone as you will see in this video.

I am really excited to share this next hiking adventure with everybody! Smith Rock State Park is located right outside of Redmond Oregon in the central part of the state. The hike I chose to do is the most popular and you will totally see why! The trail is called the Misery Ridge Loop Trail and it is 3.7 miles round-trip and 915 ft of elevation gain. This trail is labeled as hard because of the steep incline at the beginning of the hike. Even though it is a tough hike It is an extremely gorgeous one on top of that. This Trail has non-stop views of the state park from above and along the Crooked River. The scenery on this hike is just simply magnificent and had me in awe the entire time! I definitely saved the best for last on my central Oregon hiking adventure!

The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach California is a beautiful coastal area to visit near the sleepy seaside town of Half Moon Bay. Only 23 mile drive from San Francisco and a great place to checkout. I found out about it from all the beautiful Instagram pictures of the mystical trees. They are lovely and so is the beach area. If you are talking a cruise along the Pacific Coast Highway be sure to visit this gorgeous coastal setting. After you watch this you will definitely want to go there.

Driving from Chiricahua National Monument back home to Las Vegas I had time for 1 more hike. I stopped at Tucson Mountain Park to do the Brown Mountain Loop Trail. This 4.2 mile moderate trail was very scenic. I saw tons of different cacti like saguaro, cholla, barrel cactus and more. It's great also for the incredible views from the higher parts of the trail. This Is a really awesome hike to do in Tucson Arizona.

This short, sweet and easy 1.7 mile lake hike in Mammoth Lakes California is great. I did this hike in late August and the weather was absolutely fantastic. Emerald Lake was reflecting the trees and the mountains on it surface like a mirror. Such a beautiful sight to see from this simple trek. I am going to show you what it was like.
