Exploring Northern Arizona Solo: From Flagstaff To The Biggest Meteor Crater!
First stop along my solo trip through Northern Arizona: Flagstaff! I woke up to the High Country Motor Lodge in Flagstaff completely covered in snow-it was absolutely magical. This cozy spot along historic Route 66 is the perfect basecamp for exploring the area.
To fuel up for a big day of adventure, I grabbed some coffee and a tasty burrito at Single Speed Coffee Roasters. There’s nothing like a good breakfast to start the day right. ☕️🌯
First stop: the world’s largest meteor crater - Impact Crater. This place is mind-blowing. It’s massive and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. There’s a museum, a coffee shop, and even as short guided tour to learn more about the history.
Next up I went hiking at Sunset Crater National Monument. Here, I explored the volcanic remains that tell the story of Arizona’s fiery past. I hiked the Lava Flow Trail and the Lenox Crater Trail and the views were totally worth it.
I ended the day in downtown flagstaff with a burger and checked out some shops. Northern Arizona is full of surprises and I can't wait to do more exploring.

Crazy enough to run a marathon... again. Every Woman's Marathon in Savannah, Georgia

Things didn't go as planned I almost got late to the start, I forgot my water bottle, my Strava app stopped mid run (my watch got it though) I started too fast, I walked more than I thought I would, I took longer than expected ... but it was still one of the best races I've ever done!! I listened to my body, I had fun, I took in every encouraging message along the way, and I finished healthy an...

Did you know this is in Oklahoma? The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is absolutely stunning and worth the visit.

Be sure to check out the visitor center for information about trails, things to see, camping information and more. Bison roam at the park but unfortunately we didn’t see any this time. Y...

My Mom spent her childhood growing up near the Sand Dunes. She always recalled the Alamosa area throughout my childhood. She truly loved that area of Colorado, and now resides in Olathe, Colorado. R.I.P 8-8-1938 / 3-26-2006❤

Hello from Ouray, Colorado!! It looks like you had a fabulous time. It makes me happy that you are happy out there in the backcountry!
Wow. That's a great looking waterfall!
Your adventures look amazing.
Colorado is beautiful!
Get it girl!
Music too loud. Can hardly hear u.
@@drenerj.1230 so sorry! I thought I fixed it but I guess not… I’ll double check future videos
Yoooo for real! You rock!
I recommend adding knee braces. You'll be happy you did when you wake up the next day and have 20 miles to go.
If you aren’t from here, I would suggest to bring a camel back for water and some canned air, just trying to make sure you are safe
@@BagelLord. yep I had my camelbak thank you!
@@BagelLord. not sure about the canned air… this is my first time hearing about that
Really? I see it everywhere
But I’m glad you are being safe, and I’m subscribing btw
@@BagelLord. yea I’ve never heard that but it makes sense
Great shots 👌
