Twelve Mile Hot Springs – Hiking in Wells, Nevada
Nevada, the number one state for the most naturally occurring hot springs, is home to over 300 of them! Most of them are located on public land, but there are some that are located on private land and ranches. We had the opportunity this weekend to visit one of these little gems, which happens to be located on private property. The owners of the property are gracious enough to open the hot springs to the public.

I went with a friend and her sister, who had both been kayaking many times before. I borrowed one of their kayaks, and got the quick rundown on how to get in it, and more importantly, stay in…

Hiking Table Rock in Boise, Idaho
Welcome to the inaugural post for Scout N’ About! Today’s adventure finds us in the beautiful Northwest state of Idaho. Idaho may be famous for its potatoes (and, to be honest, they may actually taste a little bit better here), but there are a lot of other reasons to visit besides their spuds. Although, if you have a sweet tooth, or a fondness for nostalgic candy, the Idaho Candy Company is located in downtown Boise and they make those famous little Idaho Spud candies right there. Along with the typical hustle and bustle of a city, Boise offers something that not too many other cities have to offer – hiking. …
