Not a bad place to spend a business trip. Wonderful photo ops abound, but keep in mind that everyone’s on island time.

Things to do.
Nicollet Mall
Fun Fact: Target HQ is on Nicollet Mall
Mount San Jacinto State Park
How to get the temperatures to drop in Palm Springs? Get on the tramway. The scenery atop Mt. San Jacinto is a complete 180 from the desert below.
Joshua Tree National Park
4 things to bring: Food, Water, Sunscreen, More Water. Also, there’s no plumbing in the park. Heads up.
Brooklyn Bridge
It’s tough to walk across this bridge and not want to go out for a run.
Spencer Butte
Places like the lush trail at Spencer Butte make me wonder why my address isn’t in the PNW.
Golden Gate Bridge
*cue Full House theme song*
Napa Rail Arts District
Did I get judged by the nearby auto repair shop staff for getting these photos by the colorful wall? Probably.
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
Nice and easy hiking trail system along the cliffs. February on the beach, can’t complain.
Buttermilk Mountain
Red pants, green circles, and the side of my head.
Multnomah Falls
How to kill an afternoon when your flight gets delayed by 12 hours? Switchbacks for DAYS.
Snowmobiling Rabbit Ears Pass
This excursion was part of one of the most fun spur-of-the-moment trips I’ve ever gone on. 10/10 would recommend.
