have you done this arizona road trip? ๐Ÿš—โ˜•๐ŸŒฒ i took have you done this arizona road trip? ๐Ÿš—โ˜•๐ŸŒฒ

i took the 2026 hyundai tucson hybrid on this road trip & was blown away how smoooothhh it feels on the road. it was the perfect road trip companion! @hyundaiusa #HyundaiPartner #HyundaiTucson 

one of my favorite things about arizona? you can leave the desert behind and be surrounded by pine trees in under two hours.

hereโ€™s what i did: ๐Ÿš—

first stop: pine lavender farm. peak bloom, fresh lavender, and the perfect way to slow down before sunset. ๐Ÿ’œ i wish you could smell it through the screen!!

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

checked into lodge at 5600 for the night. cozy rooms, mountain views, and dog-friendlyโ€”10/10 for a weekend basecamp

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

drove to blue ridge reservoir, which was the best view of the trip- this spot is absolutely stunning.. also empty at sunrise!

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

you already know i had to bring a coffee set up- wish you could taste it through the screen โ˜•๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

hike at tonto natural bridge state park

through all of this, my road-trip companion was the 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. plenty of room for adventure gear and a very spoiled adventure pup. ๐Ÿพ the fuel efficiency blows my mind ๐Ÿคฏ

thanks for coming along friends!! where should my next arizona road trip be? ๐ŸŒฒ
& itโ€™s only 90 minutes from phoenix ๐ŸŒต ๐Ÿ“gowan/ ann & itโ€™s only 90 minutes from phoenix ๐ŸŒต

๐Ÿ“gowan/ anna mae/ waterfall/ pine creek loop at tonto natural bridge state park (i always suggest using @alltrails !)

as always, leave no trace ๐Ÿฅพ
wanna go bike at sunset & get ice cream? โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿฆ(ad) wanna go bike at sunset & get ice cream? โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿฆ(ad)

one of my favorite easy evening outings in the phoenix area is riding around tempe town lake. i love seeing everyone out being active- biking, running, walking, fishing, boating, etc ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

there are wide paved paths on both sides of the lake, beautiful skyline views, and itโ€™s especially pretty around sunset. the full path is 7+ miles, but you can make it as short or long as you want. 

๐Ÿš— where to park:
โ€ขtempe beach park
โ€ขmarina heights garage near mountainside fitness 

๐Ÿšฒ my new bike obsession:
โ€ข@aventon aventure 3 with built-in GPS features, anti-theft (like automatically locking when itโ€™s off, & security beeping), and a SUPER long battery life ๐Ÿ”‹

and of courseโ€ฆ donโ€™t skip the post-ride ice cream (salt & straw!!)๐Ÿฆ

would you ride here for sunset? ๐ŸŒ…
