have you done this arizona road trip? 🚗☕🌲 i took have you done this arizona road trip? 🚗☕🌲

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.

here’s what i did: 🚗

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

👇🏼

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

👇🏼

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

👇🏼

you already know i had to bring a coffee set up- wish you could taste it through the screen ☕️

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. 🐾 the fuel efficiency blows my mind 🤯

thanks for coming along friends!! where should my next arizona road trip be? 🌲
& it’s only 90 minutes from phoenix 🌵 📍gowan/ ann & it’s only 90 minutes from phoenix 🌵

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

as always, leave no trace 🥾
wanna go bike at sunset & get ice cream? ☀️🚲🍦(ad) wanna go bike at sunset & get ice cream? ☀️🚲🍦(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 🫶🏻

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

🚗 where to park:
•tempe beach park
•marina heights garage near mountainside fitness 

🚲 my new bike obsession:
•@aventon aventure 3 with built-in GPS features, anti-theft (like automatically locking when it’s off, & security beeping), and a SUPER long battery life 🔋

and of course… don’t skip the post-ride ice cream (salt & straw!!)🍦

would you ride here for sunset? 🌅

#aventon #aventure3
