states you visit to escape the arizona heat 🔥🔥🔥

phoenix this time of year is 100-110+ and it can get exhausting!

summer is my favorite time to GET AWAY to somewhere cooler, so here’s a few of my favs ⬇️

🏔️ colorado
•1.5 hr flight
•places like RMNP, colorado springs, & the san juans

🌲 washington
•3 hr flight
•highly recommend a camper van trip through the olympic peninsula!

🥾alaska
•5ish hr flight to anchorage to phoenix direct with @alaskaair 
•literally anywhere in the state is beautiful this time of year

👢wyoming
• direct flight to jackson hole with @allegiant 
•tetons & yellowstone- need I say more?!
have you ever been to 🥧 the pie bar in strawber have you ever been to 🥧 the pie bar in strawberry, arizona?!?!

📍 @piebaraz absolutely killllss it

they make fresh pies/ empanadas on the daily when they’re open!

their list of flavors is insane, & they have both sweet & savory options! all are absolutely delicious.

PLUS it’s only 1.5 hours out of phoenix, so get your booty up there & try it! 

send this to the person you wanna eat pies in the forest with 🌲
save & add this to your summer bucket list ☀️☀️

📍Bob Bear Trail to Fossil Creek Falls
•8.4 mi, 1,500 ft gain

keep in mind, this is a harder hike, especially in the sun & on the way out which is UP UP UP.

this trail does need a permit as well so make sure to check out recreation.gov for most up to date info!

i suggest completing a majority of this hike before the hottest parts of the day. always remember to leave no trace!

have you been to fossil creek / fossil springs in arizona??? 💦🌊
alaska in the summer is 👌🏼🏔️🌲⛅️ alaska in the summer is 👌🏼🏔️🌲⛅️
