Antelope Canyon's swirling walls, a slow dance under the stars in Zion, and a Grand Canyon sunset that didn't feel real — this was the "husbands join the trip" half of our Arizona road trip. Also featuring: bighorn sheep, way too much driving, and a vacation we needed a vacation from. 🏜️

Our first girls' trip took us to Sedona's red rocks — Cathedral Rock scrambles, the iconic Devil's Bridge photo, and a birthday night in Jerome. Four days, way too much hiking gear, and a lot of "we survived the climb" energy.

A midnight helicopter booking I was convinced would turn into buyer's remorse ended up being one of the best decisions we made the entire trip.

Because things were closed, it led us to other parts of Alaska I don't think we would've discovered — which made the whole trip extremely magical.
