What up guys?
I'm Kristin with "Be My Travel Muse" coming at you from Boise, Idaho today and I'm with
one of my college girlfriends, Paige.
Paige: Hi.
And that means we've known each other for...
Paige: A decade.
A long time.
A long, long time.
So, I've been to Idaho a bunch of times but...
Paige: This is my first time, yes.
Two California girls taking on Idaho this week, and we're gonna do some stuff
that is new for you.
Paige: Yeah.
Like hiking, and that I do a bunch but we're also going to go horseback riding.
Paige: Which I love.
Christine: And it terrifies me.
Oh, God, Oh, God, Oh, my God.
What is going on?
The trip started off with an amazing brunch at Lemon Tree Co.
The weather was perfect, the vibe was awesome, and it was time to check out some really cool murals.
Are you excited?
Paige: So excited and hungry.
Yeah.
Paige: Would you wanna split the roasted cauliflower, the Brussels sprouts, and chopped salad?
Oh, this looks yum.
We ended this amazing day with a relaxing walk in Campbell's back park to catch the
sunset.
I had no idea that Boise was this cool and it was really awesome to be able to share
this beautiful part of the world with my best friend Paige, who had never seen Idaho before.
Paige: I'm not that tall.
You have to zoom out a little.
When you're really zoomed in.
Hey guys, I'm trying trying to zoom out.
Here we go.
Is that a good spot?
Paige: Yeah.
What if you were really that tall?
Paige: That would be awesome.
Okay, hello.
So It's day two of our little road trip or really day one because today is really we start driving.
So we're headed to Stanley today and we're gonna stop by some hot springs and then we're
gonna end up at a place called Redfish Lake.
Are you ready?
Paige: So excited.
Thank you.
Paige: You're welcome.
Lighting is awesome, that's the first thing.
The second thing is we're continuing our road trip today but first, breakfast.
Although I absolutely love traveling solo and that's what I do most of the time,
it is so much fun to have a girlfriend along with me on a road trip, especially when you
get along as well as Paige and I do.
Moreover, the drive from Boise out to Stanley is one of the most hands-down gorgeous drives
in the U.S. I am sure of it.
Wow, this is insane, Idaho is so freaking beautiful.
Although I already knew that Idaho was beautiful, I was so amazed to see it when it's all stunning
and green in the summer months.
And while we were on our way from Boise to Stanley, we decided to stop by one of my favorite
spots, Kirkham hot springs.
Paige: Hiking in a bikini.
I'm about this life.
Paige: Heck, yes.
What do you think so far?
Paige: Well, you know there's always the first time for everything.
I went into a hot springs waterfall for the first time, I also slipped on a slimy algae
rock and almost cracked my head open but I didn't.
Show your...
Paige: And yeah, my wrist, I'm bleeding a little bit...can you see right there?
Yeah.
And also there was another first time thing.
What was it?
Just showering in the forest in the rapids in the hot springs like nature shower.
That was super awesome.
Paige: So many first times.
Christine: It was really concise.
Paige: Okay.
So many times for everything
and I'm excited for more first times.
We're going paddle boarding and I've never done that.
That's true, you haven't done that!
Paige: Yeah, I always have a magical amazing adventure with Kristin, she's quite the
curious one.
My fellow curious one, stray curious.
Just around the river bend, just around the river bend, just around the river
bend, I look once more, just around the river bend, beyond the shore where the gulls fly free.
Good morning
Paige: It's an early one.
It's 8:30.
We're about to go horseback riding and I'm not really excited.
Paige: I'm stoked.
I don't know, they have their own little brains in there and they just like,
I don't know, I feel more comfortable on something I can control but we're gonna do it anyway.
Paige: Yeah, really looking forward to it.
This is so beautiful.
Paige: So, Kristin, how was your experience?
I rode a horse.
I'm still a little scared of horses.
But my horse Johnny was nice and it was so pretty.
Paige: Beautiful horses.
And our guide Maddie was awesome.
Paige: She was great.
Yeah, my legs are a little stiff from the saddle.
Yeah, my butt hurts.
Paige: Yeah, that too.
Now, it's your turn.
Paige: For what?
For like the thing you haven't done.
We're gonna go on a hike.
Paige: Oh yeah. we're going on a 10-mile hike.
Casual 10 mile.
Paige: No big deal.
All right, see you there.
Holy Shit, that's absolutely insane.
