Hiking Oklahoma: Kite Trail

October 31, 2017
Secret Oklahoma hiking spots are the best! Check out the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge for Oklahoma's biggest gorge and beautiful scenery. | Teaspoon of Nose

While the rest of the Internet has fully embraced fall, southwest Oklahoma can’t seem to make up its mind. Some days don’t get above 50°F and others we’re still seeing high 80’s. So when we found ourselves with a warm day, we headed straight for the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and checked out Kite trail!

Hiking Oklahoma: Elk Mountain

October 14, 2017
If you're looking for hiking in southwest Oklahoma, try the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The Charons Garden trail is long enough for a solid hike and ends in beautiful views! | Teaspoon of Nose

One of the great advantages of moving west is a change of hiking scenery! My east coast self equates hikes with forests, rivers and mountain views. Here in Oklahoma it’s more cacti and rocks, but we’ve still managed to find some mountain views at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Elk Mountain trail.

My favorite Montreal restaurants

October 8, 2017
If you're heading to Montreal, you can't miss the food scene! Here's a few of my favorite Montreal restaurants. | Teaspoon of Nose

My series on visiting Montreal ends on a high note: Montreal restaurants! I’ll be honest: the thing I was most looking forward to about visiting Montreal – outside of my friends, of course! – was the food. Living in a small town has meant that I crave great restaurants even more when I travel.

Montreal Canal Life

October 2, 2017
Check out the Montreal canal area if you want a taste of local in the city! And while you're there, definitely head to one of the public markets. | Teaspoon of Nose

Part three of my series on visiting Montreal might be my favorite! We spent the morning exploring the Montreal canal area. It’s close enough to downtown to walk, but far enough to lose most of the city feel.

Air Power Over Altus: the Altus Air Show

September 21, 2017
Want to learn more about the Air Force? Check out the Altus air show, Air Power Over Altus! | Teaspoon of Nose

Earlier this month Altus hosted Air Power Over Altus, our base’s air show! Held every three years, it’s probably the biggest event Altus AFB throws. The Altus air show is part festival, part show of skill, part recruitment effort, and part community outreach.
