Welcome to Innsbruck 🇦🇹⛰️

This might be one of the most charming European cities I’ve ever visited that ALSO has incredibly easy access to big, impressive mountains right outside your door. Hiking, climbing, mountain biking, via ferrata, family-friendly adventures… it’s all here.

It’s also super walkable and bike-friendly, with parks, river paths and great public transit. We had a rental car since Innsbruck was part of a bigger trip, but you could easily visit without one.

A few highlights from our 5-night stay:

🏨 Stay at 
Steps from Old Town, with cozy rooms, a sauna, onsite parking, a restaurant and an amazing breakfast. The mountain views from our room were STUNNING. They also gave us Innsbruck’s free Welcome Card, which includes local public transit plus discounts and select lift perks depending on the length of your stay!

🥾 Hike
• Olpererhütte + the iconic suspension bridge, ~45 minutes from Innsbruck
• Goetheweg along the Nordkette for huge views above the city
• Walk the Inn River promenade right from town

🧗🏻‍♂️ Climb
• K1 climbing gym
• Outdoor climbing at Martinswand
• Innsbruck via ferrata on the Nordkette

🏰 Sightsee
• Golden Roof
• City Tower for rooftop views
• Hofburg Imperial Palace
• Ambras Castle
• Bergisel Ski Jump
• Swarovski Crystal Worlds
• Take the Nordkette cable car to the Top of Innsbruck

🎟️ TIP: If you’re planning to hit several attractions, look into the Innsbruck Card. It includes many major sights, public transit and select cable cars, and can save you quite a bit.

🍴 Eat
• Cielo for coffee + breakfast
• my Indigo for healthy bowls
• Gelateria Tomaselli for gelato
• Ottoburg for a historic Tyrolean dinner in one of the oldest buildings in town

Innsbruck genuinely checked every box for me, and it’s one of the few places I could actually see myself living if we ever moved to Europe.

Fall in Colorado 💛

Less than 2 hours from Denver, Frisco is a little mountain town that turns into a golden wonderland when the aspens hit their peak.

If you’re chasing fall colors, here are 5 trails worth adding to your list:
🌄 Mount Royal Trail – short, steep, and wildly scenic (the one in this video)
🥾 Lily Pad Lake Trail – mellow with mountain views and bright aspen groves
🍁 Rainbow Lake Trail – an easy, quick stroll right from downtown
🏞 Masontown Trail – another solid uphill workout with incredible overlooks
🌲 North Tenmile Creek Trail – great for photos, especially when the creek reflects the aspens

After the hike, head into downtown Frisco for some food:
- Greco’s Pastaria
- HighSide Brewing
- Bread + Salt

Is it starting to feel like fall where you live? 🍁

Everything I packed for 8 days on the Huayhuash trek in July 🇵🇪 | ad

The biggest lesson: pack for basically every season and prioritize layers.

THE TREK
⛺️ 7 nights, 8 days
🥾 ~65 miles total
📏 ~5-9 miles/day
⛰️ Highest point: ~16,500 ft
🌡️ Freezing mornings/nights + warmer sunny afternoons, wind, rain and snow

Here’s what I packed:

TOPS + BASE LAYERS
• 2 pakaapparel Women’s Essential Tanks
• 2 PAKA Women’s Essential Tees
• 2 PAKA Women’s Sol Crews
• 1 PAKA Women’s Sol Hoodie

WARM LAYERS
• PAKA Women’s Ultralight Crew
• PAKA Women’s Hoodie
• PAKA Women’s Apu Lightweight Puffer
• Fleece
• Insulated mid-layer
• Waterproof rain shell

The layering system was probably the most important part of my entire packing strategy. Some mornings I started hiking bundled up and was down to a tank a few hours later.

BOTTOMS
• 3 hiking pants
• 2 hiking leggings
• 1 shorts
• 2 thermal/base-layer bottoms

UNDERWEAR + SOCKS
• 10 pairs underwear
• 3 sports bras — all PAKA Women’s Essential Triangle Bralettes
• 10 pairs socks total: 8 for hiking + 2 reserved for sleeping/camp

My PAKA socks included:
• 3 pairs Trail 1/4 Crew Socks
• Thermal Costa Crew Socks
• Essential Sacred Valley Crew Socks

ACCESSORIES
• PAKA Cozy Marled Beanie
• Sun hat
• Gloves
• Sunglasses
• Headlamp

Alpaca ended up being SUCH a good fit for Huayhuash because I could rewear pieces over multiple days without them smelling, and the warm layers worked especially well for freezing mornings, high passes and evenings at camp.

Save this list if Huayhuash is on your bucket list!
