Located in the heart of southwestern Washington, most people have at least heard of this mountain's name; Mount Saint Helens.
This fantastic Pacific Northwest mountain is famous for its eruption back in 1980, but also for the magnificent opportunity that hikers have to climb Mount St. Helens.
It’s quite the thrill to climb up over the ridge and finally say that you’ve stood on the summit of one of the United State’s most well-known peaks.

When we visited Moab, Utah, we have to admit that our primary goal was to explore Arches National Park and all its brilliant trails.
But since we had an America the Beautiful National Park pass and wanted to see as much beautiful nature as possible, it made sense for us to add on a drive through Canyonlands National Park just about 35 minutes away by car. It wasn't until we arrived that we realized there was yet-another park worth checking out nearby, the much lesser visited Dead Horse Point State Park.
Since we did not time our visit correctly to add in a visit to Dead Horse on our Canyonlands outing, we returned on a separate day to check this one out (with another 70+ minute round trip drive- whoops). After visiting both, we realized that these two parks would be completely doable on a single visit for those who plan better than we did.
So in this one, we thought we'd share a bit more about what you can see in both parks plus highlight why these two parks make a perfect duo for a day trip from Moab.
Already when landing at the airport of Guatemala City, you’re usually greeted by the view of smoking volcanoes. What a landscape!
Guatemala is the country of volcanoes, and hiking Acatenango Volcano is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many.
While I cannot deny that the Acatenango hike is really exhausting, the reward of the views and surroundings on top are priceless.
Among the many volcanoes in Guatemala, hiking Acatenango Volcano is the most popular. And that’s for good reason. After a tough 4-5 hours climb to the base camp, you’re rewarded with an incredible view of the other volcanoes.
The most spectacular sight by far is Acatenango’s active neighbor, El Fuego Volcano. Every few minutes, you can see smoke and lava flying high in the sky, accompanied by a loud roar.
So let’s get to the juicy part: How do you get up there?
