Get Lost Outdoors

The ultimate hiking & outdoor blog site! Hi! My name is Kimmy Engen, and I am a nature lover, outdoor enthusiast, adrenaline ju**ie, and overall happy camper!

I currently live in Texas with my fiancé and two fur babies. When I am not working my 9-5, I am out in nature every minute that I can. My favorite outdoor activities are hiking, camping, stand up paddle boarding, biking, swimming, and taking nature photos. My fiancé and I have completed the 52 hike challenge, traveled to numerous states for hiking and camping trips, and have a bucket list to hit all the national parks. I created this blog because I wanted to share my knowledge and experience with you to help you gain confidence and wisdom to get outdoors more. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Also, if you live in the DFW area I would love to connect and even hit up a hike or two with you! So let's Get Lost Outdoors together!

Headed out to the Uintas with my Hikerbabes Community: Northern Utah !!

It was a fun filled day that included not 1, not 2, but 3 stops! 🙌🏻

First stop was a nice hike around Ruth lake which is a great easy trail with stunning views of the lake and forest/mtn views. The lake was filled with trout so it’s also a great spot to come fishing and even have a great little picnic with the family. It was only 2.2 miles with 213 ft of elevation gain.

Stop number 2 was Bald Mountain peak! This is an iconic trail in the Uintas that gets you up to one of the best peaks with the most stunning views of the entire area. The trail is a bit steep but not too long so it’s really worth it. We were lucky enough to see mtn goats on it too. This trail is 2.8 miles with 1171 ft of elevation gain.

Last stop was the Provo River falls😍 This is also a great spot for all ages. Multiple waterfalls to look at with an easy path to get to each one. They are truly amazing and definitely a fun spot to stop at to enjoy all the beauty.

So go have a day out in the Uintas and you can thank me later haha! The fall foliage is amazing out there so get to it before they close it up for winter. Thank you Jeannine Musson- EspenshadJeannine Musson- Espenshadederful itinerary! ❤️ xoxo Kimmy

Last RV trip this year before we have to take her in and get her fixed up and winterized.

We went back to Wasatch mtn state park and boy were the colors so beautiful out there this time of year!

Over the weekend we played disc golf, hiked part of the Wasatch crest trail, hung out with friends, and had great bonfire nights with glowing stars above us. The weather was perfect and the views and company were even better.

We love coming to this state park any time of the year but I’m pretty sure fall will be our favorite. I can’t wait for next year’s camping adventures with our RV and pups! Hope yall are getting out and enjoying the fall foliage! Xoxo Kimmy

My friend Monique Prebensen came to visit me from Dallas and she came at the right time for some great leaf peeping!!🍂🍁

I had a full agenda for us and boy did we hit them all!!

Day 1: Snowbasin sunset social
Day 2: Stewart falls trail and Sundance scenic chair lift plus food and drinks at Bearclaw
Day 3: Willow lake trail and Lake Mary trail followed up with a stroll and lunch in Park City
Day 4: Cecret lake trail and Snowbasin Oktoberfest
Day 5: Bruch and fly back

What. A. Weekend! We saw so much leaf peeping and wildlife. It was an epic weekend filled with adventure and a lot of catching up. I am so grateful for friends who come to visit and love the outdoors just as much as I do. Thank you Mo for all the laughs and great memories made this past weekend! Xoxo Kimmy

The hikerbabes showed up today!! No rain can stop these ladies from some good leaf peeping🍁🍂

We did bloods lake and lackawaxen lake and boy did we get some PNW vibes the whole time. This loop trail is 5 miles with 1200 ft of elevation gain. I would rate it moderate but there’s so many spots to stop and take in that this trail is so worth it!

And since it is fall this trail is one of the most popular ones to go on during this time. Luckily, since we did have rain, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves which is so rare and it was so peaceful!

This was the largest Hikerbabe hike I led and I’m so glad so many people came with me to see all the beautiful colors. This is a for sure one you have to do every fall! Also, there is a fee to pay at the trailhead just as a heads up. Unfortunately, you can’t use your America the beautiful pass here. So get out there and go leaf peeping for these next few weeks! 🙌🏻 xoxo Kimmy

Little mountain ridge trail! I may have been a tad early but I still got to see a lot of color on this trail.

This trail is in emigration canyon and actually one I hadn’t done yet that’s been on my list of to dos and I think I saw it at the right time. Fall is stunning in this canyon and it was definitely showing off.

This trail is 6.5 miles out and back with a lot of ups and downs. The elevation ended up being at 1300 ft. So I would rate it a moderate trail.

The first mile is definitely a bit blah but once you get into the tree line you get to see all the fall foliage. There were also great views of the canyon, I definitely was following elk prints for all of it, and there were so many great spots to see colorful mtn ranges.

I’m glad I added this one to my fall foliage list because it really was special. So check out emigration canyon, lots of trails to explore to see some great fall leaves! Xoxo Kimmy

Part ✌🏼 of my me day!

I drove over guardsman pass and stopped at silver lake to hike to lake solitude. It’s funny, ive done all the other lakes in this area and then one day I was like wait I haven’t been to solitude so why not tack in on!

And I’m so glad I did! I saw 14 deer, 2 pikas, and 1 weasel! Seriously between these and the moose family I saw in the morning I couldn’t believe the day I was having! It seriously felt too good to be true.

Lake solitude is 3.6 miles out and back with 450 ft of elevation gain so definitely a more easy hike too. Once you get past the crowds at silver lake, it get more quiet on the hike. There’s lots of forest foliage, wildlife, of course the beautiful lake, and I even found a cave near the lake! It got a little more chilly on this hike but I’m so glad I made the stop to see it.

This is another great hike to do if you have guests in town or just want an easier hike for yourself! Definitely recommend! Xoxo Kimmy

I had a me day!! 🙌🏻

1st stop, bonanza flat loop up in park city. This loop is 5.2 miles long with 643 ft of elevation gain so definitely an easy one but with killer views of some of the best looking aspens this fall and wildlife!

Not gonna lie, when I first got onto the trail it was just okay lol but then once you hit mile 1.8 ba bam! Thick forest, lots of fall foliage, a moose family, and some of the most beautiful aspens I’ve seen so far and were just starting fall! This trail I’m sure will be even more insane in like a week or so.

There is a fee to park at this trailhead, I paid for 2 hours and had 10 minutes to spare so it worked out well. This is also a great area for mtn biking and dogs are allowed! So add this trail to your fall foliage stops! You will love it! Xoxo Kimmy

Willow lake trail with my Hikerbabes!🫎

This is such a great fall hike to do and boy did we luck out with seeing not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 moose!🙌🏻

I have hiked this trail multiple times but this was my first time seeing the moose there so I was sooo happy!

Unfortunately, the lake is pretty much a puddle at this point and I’m sure the moose will have to move eventually but I’m so glad we got to catch the tail end of it.

The leaves are just starting to change and I’m sure in a week it will be even better. This trail is only 2.5 miles long with 623 ft of elevation gain so definitely an easy one and a great one for fall. So happy I got to go with my gals! Looking forward to the fall season and seeing as much leaf peeping as possible! Xoxo Kimmy

Back to powder mountain for some great hiking and Ogden valley views! And guess what, a bit of color was starting to pop up there🙌🏻🍂🍁

Fall is my fav season and time to hike in Utah so I’m gonna be out as much as I can these next few weeks.

At powder I started on woodys world trail and then hit up paper airplane. I did 6.2 miles out and back with 804 ft of elevation gain. It’s a really fun and easy trail with all the rewarding views and vibes! I definitely need to come back and check out their new art trail too! Looks amazing! 🫶🏼

If you’re in the Ogden valley area, you need to go to powder mountain, the leaves are starting to turn and if you go in the evening or morning you’re bound to see some wildlife too. It’s usually not packed which is great and dog friendly!! Such a great area and one I will be coming back to for a long time. Xoxo Kimmy
