Hi! Welcome to Pursuit of Wonderment!
Family Adventures Across the American Southwest
National Park and State Park guides, kid-friendly hikes, Las Vegas adventures, road trips, and travel tips from our family’s firsthand experiences.
My family and I relocated to Las Vegas from the East Coast a couple of years ago. We are using our relocation opportunity to explore the Southwest and West! My husband and I like to promote curious adventures and outdoor time with our kids so we’re exploring National Parks, State Parks, Recreation areas, ski areas, state attractions, etc.
I’m sharing some of our mini adventures and experiences below. I hope that by sharing it helps you to be inspired and plan your next unforgettable adventure!
