A group of friends and I went to stay at one of their cabin's in Idaho and ended up going through Jacksonhole to Grand Teton National Park. We hiked hidden falls, which, if you're like me and can't do very strenuous hiking, was perfect. It was about 4 miles round trip and only about 400 feet elevation gain.

The waterfall was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be and was really gorgeous.

One of my (more realistic) dreams has been to go to New York. I'm infatuated with city-life and wanted to experience the big apple for myself. My birthday was in May and a couple months back, my roommate and I decided to go for our birthdays (hers is just a couple days before mine). We booked flights, Airbnbs and bought city passes.

We flew SLC to Denver for a layover, then into Newark, NJ where we stayed in our Airbnb. I would seriously recommend staying in an Airbnb no matter where you go. It is SO much cheaper than staying in a hotel and you get to meet new people. We rode the NJ bus each day into New York, cheap option, but took us about 45 minutes each time. Not bad if you want to save on money. We decided to buy a Metro Card for within the city and with the number of times we rode the subway, I'd say it was definitely worth it.

Day 1: We got into Newark around 2 p.m. and met a friend there (he took a different flight from SLC) We had to Uber from the airport to our Airbnb, which was pretty pricey, but between the three of us, it wasn't too bad. After dropping everything off, we left for NYC to Grand Central station.
