Kanab is one of my favorite towns to base a hiking trip out of. It’s close to Zion National Park, Bryce National Park, and many other underrated areas. If you’re lucky in the winter, snow will dust the orange rock and make for spectacular views!
Idyllwild is a small hiking town near the San Jacinto Mountains. 2 hours from Los Angeles, it’s one of the closest hiking destinations with trees instead of dry shrubs
We recently spent a weekend in South Oregon, where we split our days between Crater Lake National Park and Umpqua National Forest. Crater Lake is not easy to get to (a regional flight, a 2 hour drive to the Airbnb, another hour long drive to the NP) so we wanted to make sure we packed the entire day to see everything there is to see!
