Camping at Roper Lake this week has us appreciating this little Arizona gem even more. ❤️

Did you know that Roper Lake isn’t actually a natural lake? It was created in the 1970s and became part of Arizona’s state park system in 1975. What started as ranch land and a recreation area was transformed into the beautiful desert oasis we enjoy today.

Nestled at the base of Mount Graham just outside Safford, Roper Lake may be small, but it offers some of the best views around. Between the fishing, camping, wildlife, and the natural hot spring, it’s easy to see why it’s been a favorite getaway for Arizona families for generations.

We just spent a couple days there soaking up the sunshine, enjoying the mountain views, and making memories with the dogs. Red is on her very first camping trip and doing fantastic! Even with temperatures hitting 100°, you’ll still find us relaxing under the umbrella with a cold drink, watching the sunset over the lake.

Sometimes the best adventures aren’t far from home—they’re right here in our own Arizona backyard. 🌵☀️🏕️

Camping with dogs is always an adventure! These two crack me up everyday!! The best thing we ever did for Roo was to get her a little sister!

You guys, this is me,,, my day job! 🐾

If you live in Tucson or are just passing through and your dog (or cat!) is due for a nail trim, I’d love to help. Whether you stop by my grooming shop or prefer the convenience of me coming to you, I’ve got you covered.

Nail care is often one of the most overlooked parts of pet care, but it’s so important for your pet’s comfort and health. Let’s make sure those paws stay happy and those nails stay trimmed! 🐶🐱

Send me a text to schedule an appointment! 😊

Anniversary getaway mode: activated!

Scott and I snuck away to Roper Lake for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary. Of course, all three dogs came along, and this is little Red’s very first camping trip! At only 10 months old, she’s been an absolute rockstar camper so far.

It’s a balmy 100°, but that hasn’t stopped us from enjoying a cold drink on the patio under the umbrella. We may be sweating a little, but we’re calling it “desert glamping.” 😆

Last night’s sunset put on quite a show, and we’re hoping tonight’s is just as good. We’ll head home tomorrow afternoon and then probably start planning our next adventure. Sedona is already on the list for fall, but we’re thinking about adding another destination too.

Has anyone been to Yosemite? It’s definitely on our bucket list! I’d love to hear your tips, favorite spots, or “don’t miss” recommendations. 😀🌄🐾

My son made this and gave it to me for Mother’s Day. I planted it this morning and just love how it turned out. 😀

Reds first day trip in the truck. She’s totally relaxed and just sitting back like a human lol. 9 month old mini Aussie.

I really loved seeing the bears in Yellowstone National Park but running into all the bison was my favorite by far! I loved when they took over the roads and we just had to wait for them to move. They came so close to the car that you could almost touch them! (That’s a big NONO by the way) We even saw a stampede that was just amazing to watch! Also had a very friendly one in our campground at Fishing Bridge Rv resort. So much fun to watch!

Add Yellowstone to your bucket list, because you won’t be disappointed! 😀

These were the only moose that were close enough to get pictures of when we went to the Grand Teton National Park. We didn’t see any in Yellowstone National Park. Scott actually had to hike out into a field to get close enough for these photos. Such big beautiful animals.
