Pursuit of Wonderment
A family adventure, travel, and experience sharing blog.
“And into the forest I must go, to lose my mind and find my soul” -John Muir
Hi! Welcome to Pursuit of Wonderment!
Family Adventures Across Nevada, the Southwest, & Beyond
National Park and State Park guides, kid-friendly hikes, Las Vegas adventures, road trips, and travel tips from our family’s firsthand experiences.
My family and I relocated to Las Vegas from the East Coast a few years ago, and we’ve embraced the opportunity to explore everything the Southwest has to offer! My husband and I like to promote curious adventures and outdoor time with our kids. We love discovering National Parks, State Parks, recreation areas, ski resorts, state attractions, and other local gems—and sharing what we learn along the way.
I hope that our adventures inspire your family to get outside, plan your next adventure, discover something new, and create lasting memories together.
