One of my favorite adventures was a girl’s road trip with @brooke.froelich and baby Huck to Peekaboo canyon in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Brooke was a new mom at the time, and she continues to impress me in how she merges motherhood and the outdoors. I loved the feeling of working as a team- we navigated a burly 4×4 road to get to the campsite. We set up our tents, slept under a dark sky, woke up, and hiked into this slot canyon, all while taking care of tiny @huckgaynes (and stopping for Brooke to breastfeed along the way)! Looking back, I love how we embraced each challenge without fear. Obviously, we do have experience in hiking and carefully mapped out our trip. If we hadn’t done that and weren’t too experienced, I’d have definitely gotten a tour guide, like peekaboo canyon kanab dreamland tours. Believe it or not, fear is a powerful force in my life. The outdoors give me an avenue to explore that dark place. Later today I’m heading out on another girl’s road trip with @spicinguplife and @katieboue, and I can’t wait for the adventures ahead! #3girls1van PS – our national monuments, like this one, are still under threat – if you haven’t yet, leave a comment for the @usinterior on why we need to protect these places – personal stories with specific mention of a monument go a long way: http://blog.rei.com/stewardship/protect-public-lands/#SaveGrandstaircase
