Do I think that the price of a cruise just to get access to Glacier Bay is worth all of the money that it costs? Honestly, no. While I do think that cruises are an excellent way to explore multiple locations, I would vouch for you to experience Alaska in an alternative way.

Bowie is our baby and requires a lot of care and attention, and while we know that we have options to put him up in a nice pet hotel, we would rather make sure he is fully done with his training and almost a year old before we consider leaving him overnight with some strangers.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666; font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666; font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003EWhile we didn't want to travel away from our dog, Adam and I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary here in the valley so we could bring Bowie along with us. Traveling with a pup isn't always easy, but luckily, we are fortunate that pet-friendly hotels are increasingly becoming more popular and their pet fees are becoming more and more reasonable. We enjoy bringing him along with us whenever we can, so when we learned that The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch was dog-friendly we booked our wedding anniversary staycation with them.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003EOnce we pulled up to the lobby, we all hopped out of the car and went inside to check-in and enjoy some air conditioning.

Our room had lots of space, which was especially great with Bowie, and we had a large living room and an oversized dining table connected to our main room. We had such a nice space in our room that we even contemplated ordering room service in our room and sitting at the table, but then we saw the sun setting and decided to sit and enjoy it at their restaurant, Kitchen West. We sat and relaxed in our room for a bit, adjusted the temperature to where we wanted it (it was nice that it could get cold if we wanted it to, but since we're Phoenicians we didn't want to be in 60 degrees when we got back).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #666666;\"\u003EWe unpacked our bathing suits, got Bowie settled down for a nap with his toys, and then we made our way out to the pool.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003ENo trip to The Scottsdale Resort would be complete without an afternoon spent by the pool. There was a lot of energy at the pool and we could hear it from our room--which we did not mind since we had every intention of heading out there. The sliding door off to the side from the bedroom of our suite had a set of chairs and an awning to give it some shade, and there was a pathway we could take right from our room to the pool if we wanted to take it. At the pool, they had live music playing and the water was the perfect temperature (the water in the pool was cold enough to cool off from the heat, but also not too cold which is always nice).\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003ETheir poolside bar staff was attentive and friendly, and even though they were very busy they continued to check up on us and everyone around us all afternoon making sure we had a drink if we wanted one. Adam's drink of choice was a frozen margarita, and I opted for something a little sweeter and enjoyed strawberry daiquiris. Between everyone around us enjoying the pool, the live music, and plenty of spots for shade to get out of the sun for a few minutes this was an excellent summer staycation spot for the afternoon.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #666666;\"\u003EAfter spending some time at the pool and then relaxing with Bowie in the room before getting ready, Adam and I went to have dinner at Kitchen West. It was nice to sit down and chat for an hour while we ate, and we did a bit of people watching since our table was facing the bar. For dinner, we started with their fried mesquite honey cheese curds. I've traveled to Wisconsin many times and had fried cheese curds, but for some reason, Adam had yet to try them still so we made sure he could have some. Then, we ordered our entrees. My entree was the cognac filet mignon, and Adam had their smoked brisket burger. While we were waiting for dinner, our waiter brought us a plate of their kiln bread with some tomato jam which was excellent.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #666666; text-align: justify;\"\u003EWhile we had a nice time enjoying our dinner at Kitchen West, I have to say that our favorite meal while we were there was their breakfast. Adam and I immensely enjoyed their cowboy benedict and it was the best thing we ate all weekend. The cowboy benedict at Kitchen West is one of the best benedicts we've had in the valley! The braised short ribs were cooked and seasoned so perfectly, and really complimented everything on the plate (including their hollandaise). Prepared with traditional poached eggs, and oversized English muffin, caramelized onions, and plated next to a bed of red bliss potatoes, this was one of the most flavorful and indulgent benedict plates either of us had ever had.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white;

Phoenix resorts are so affordable this time of year because of the heat and the lack of tourists, which makes it an ideal time of year to indulge in a luxury staycation and even spring for a poolside cabana (which is exactly what we did when we spent some time this summer at the Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EThe\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EOmni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Montelucia has three pools on the property, but we believe the best pool to get a cabana would be their adults-only pool--the Oasis pool. Full-day cabana rentals include water bottles, light bites, and a shaded and cooler spot to relax when you're not swimming in the pool. They allow up to 6 guests per cabana, so if there is a group of you going as a family of adults or a group of friends you can easily split the cost to make it more affordable. With our experience with the cabana, I would say that it would comfortably fit 4 adults for an all-day hangout.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EOne of the best perks of having a cabana apart from having somewhere in the shade to retreat to throughout the day is the poolside dining and cocktail service. The Oasis pool had a really nice menu of starters and entrees to chose from including items like poblano caesar salad, quesadilla, blackened fish and grilled jerk beef tacos, as well as a burger and a sandwich option. They also had four signature cocktails to choose from all of which were fruity and tropical.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EWhile we really enjoyed the Oasis pool--their adults-only pool--we also ventured over to the Kasbah pool which welcomes guests of all ages. Both pools are lovely and have a nice view of the mountains, but we think it all depends on what your comfort level is and what you want from your daycation. For us, we prefer to stay at a pool that is for adults-only when we are given the choice. But it was nice even having our adults-only cabana to have the option to roam the property and check out the other pool and then walk right back to our cabana when we were ready for some peace and quiet.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EThey have over 20 cabanas on the property to choose from, so the chances of you landing a cabana during the summer are pretty good depending on how short of notice you give them. It's likely that the weekend cabanas will book up faster, so it's always best to give them a call ahead of time to ask about availability.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

Knowing she had to find a way to sustain the farm because they do not charge entry to visit their lavender farm, she envisioned a French bistro and shop at Fragrant Isle that would transport visitors to a place that offers luxury goods, delicious food, and all things lavender. Her childhood growing up in France coupled with her experience working in couture, Martine has most certainly done just as she planned and has created a space at Fragrant Isle that is a fusion between European-inspired luxury goods and food as well as the warm and inviting farmhouse atmosphere you would find in the Midwest.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666; font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EOffering tours to walk through the lavender field and learning about the process that goes into growing these elegant plants, Fragrant Isle also has an event calendar worth checking out while you are planning your visit to Washington Island (\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/fragrantisle.com\/pages\/2019-all-things-lavender-events-calendar\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Eyou can view their event calendar here\u003C\/a\u003E).

Knowing this, I made sure to rearrange my meetings and delay any projects that I could so that we could manage to spend as much time together as possible before his busy season at work starts up; summer is Adam's busiest time of the year at work since he is the IT manager at a private school, and he has to get all of the school equipment ready for the new school year while the students and teachers are on their summer break.

We have been to more resorts in Arizona than we can count and every time we go, we find ourselves whispering to one another so our conversation isn't carried across the pool since we can hear what everyone else is saying. The pool at Lodge on the Desert did not have this issue because of their fountains, which was really nice and unexpected! It's also worth noting that they had some of the best lounge chairs we've ever laid on--they were thick, sturdy, and comfortable and neither of us felt like we were going to fall off or bend them (so they are definitely plus-size friendly!) On our way back from the pool, we decided to partake in happy hour again and had some yummy margaritas and their prosciutto chips.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EOnce we went back to our room to check up on Bowie, took him out to use the bathroom and got him some more water, we both relaxed, took a shower and then got ready before dinner. Enjoying some salad and an appetizer, we sat and watched the sunset and the patio string lights come on from the outdoor patio at Cielos. For dinner, we both really enjoyed the braised short ribs! Plated on top of corn purée with fried brussels sprouts, these short ribs were perfectly tender and so flavorful (and topped with these yummy haystack onions that reminded us of a blooming onion). We finished our night with a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge brownie and fruit dessert.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EThe rest of our staycation was relaxing and just what we needed before Adam's workload ramps up for the summer.

Well, that is already an uncomfortable feeling by itself.

For instance, if you are already having sinus congestion, make sure to take some form of medication\u0026nbsp;that will loosen the mucus well before you board a plane.\u0026nbsp; There are plenty of over the counter medications that can offer sinus congestion relief, as well as some over the counter earplugs specifically for airplanes. These earplugs will allow you to lower the intensity that your ears feel when you ascend and descent in a plane while changing altitudes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EAlso, it cannot hurt to chew gum while flying to try to reduce the likelihood of extreme airplane ear.

Also, if there is a possibility to sit in a row by yourself and away from others, putting some distance between yourself and other people may reduce the likelihood of getting someone sick or getting sick from someone else.

Comprised of 33 boulders, this large scale artwork piece took five years to complete from start to finish. Moving one boulder at a time, to stack these boulders on top of one another, each large boulder weighs over 40,000 pounds. It took an entire team of engineers, producers, consultants, and heavy lifters to bring this artwork to life in the middle of the desert.

My mom and I first visited the Hoover Dam while I was still in school at Arizona State University, and we took an extended tour of the inside of the dam which was a bit scary but mostly incredibly compelling. When I knew Adam and I\u0026nbsp;were making plans to road trip out to Nevada, I knew we had to make a point to dedicate a day to exploring Boulder City so that Adam could see the Hoover Dam for himself as well as take in the beauty of Lake Mead.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EJust about thirty minutes from the Las Vegas strip, Boulder City is a great way to escape the chaos of the strip and get outside to enjoy the beauty of Lake Mead, the peaks on the water channeling the Colorado\u0026nbsp;River, and a chance to drive across town to explore the Hoover Dam.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EWhile there are a variety of private tours you can take that will bring you to the Hoover Dam right from the strip, since we were test driving the Toyota Prius Four Touring, we hopped in the car and made the quick trip from the strip to the Lake Mead waterfront ourselves.

But one part of Arizona we do not tend to hear about is Chino Valley.

We agree that while Primrose Inn and Suites looks like an ordinary roadside inn from the outside, it is truly a relaxing, rustic, and welcoming inn that has just enough of the modern necessities that you need to feel comfortable (while also restricting amenities larger hotels may have, so you are forced into relaxing and taking things at a slower pace). So, if you want to unplug and feel off the grid for a couple of days, hear the sound of birds chirping, and escape the city life in and around Phoenix, we recommend you consider making Chino Valley your next weekend staycation destination.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;

Honestly, we enjoyed everything we had, but ultimately, only one plate was just not as exceptionally good as the others and that was the Cobb salad; it was beautiful, fresh, and packed with a variety of vegetables, but we both agreed that it did not have enough salad dressing and we also didn't think that the salad dressing they paired with it was the right choice. It was an absolutely beautiful-looking salad, but when we visit Primrose again in the future, we would probably not order the Cobb salad again. That said, it was still a good salad, but it did not live up to the high standards of all of the other dishes we tried which were all exceptionally well-seasoned!

The mix of cole slaw and peppers was a delicious, juxtaposing texture we enjoyed on the sandwich to give it a bit of a crunch, and the aioli sauce they used was to-die for! Our sandwich was our favorite because it was so flavorful and had a refinement to it since it had great texture and it was not greasy like you would expect a short rib sandwich to be.

The overall vibe of the outdoor patio at Primrose is a effortless mix of elegance and romance with a relaxed atmosphere that doesn't make you feel like it's too stuffy to sit there and relax.

The room itself was very quiet and we never heard anyone else in the room next to us, which was a nice surprise since we expected to hear neighboring people partying into the night in the hotel (which was our experience during our last stay in Las Vegas at a different hotel a few years ago).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EPerhaps our favorite thing about our hotel room apart from the super comfortable bed was the personalized gift that they left in our room!

It was a very quiet hotel for being right on the strip, and we never felt like we were unable to get rest in the middle of the night due to anyone around us or outside the hotel partying and enjoying the nightlife. We both slept very comfortably, and I cannot deny that the combination of the mattress, pillows, and the bed sheets were the most comfortable out of any hotel I have ever stayed at!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003ESome of the lack of accommodations that more expensive hotels may have compared to what Park MGM was lacking include some of the minor conveniences that many luxury hotels often have. What we think Park MGM could do better would be including a coffee machine in our hotel room, and also improve the quality of their hotel room toiletries (i.e. there were no cotton balls or cotton swabs for when I was doing my make up and doing my skincare routine, and they provided cheaply made shampoos and soaps that were made with SLS).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EWe also wondered if the nightly rates were lower than expected due to the construction happening around\/outside of the resort. Although it did not bother us that they were working on the building and had lumber\/construction sites blocked off around the area, we imagine that some people may find it off-putting.

In the summer, when the temperature skyrockets to triple digits and the humidity settles in during monsoon season, almost all of the typical tourists that Arizona gets will\u0026nbsp;opt to leave town (including many of Arizona's residences who leave the state to escape to cooler weather). The cities empty out, and with that, the prices at these four and five-star hotels go down.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003EWe are total advocates for staycationing, and especially when it comes to the summertime! It was a no-brainer for us to choose to spend our wedding anniversary weekend in town and at a hotel that I have always wanted to visit but never got around to staying at.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003EI remember when my friend and I were driving in the car when I was a freshman at Arizona State, and we got some iced coffees and drove all around town drinking caffeine and chatting away. She drove me through parts of the city I had never seen before, and that is when I got my first glimpse of Paradise Valley and The Hermosa Inn. This boutique looked so beautiful and so elegant, my friend and I laughed and imagined how much money you would need to stay at a place like that. Well, fast forward almost a decade later, and I learned all about how affordable luxurious vacations can be in town during the summer time (and how they are perfect for staycations to celebrate special occasions).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003EThis past weekend, Adam and I packed an overnight bag and drove a half hour up from our condo to stay at The Hermosa Inn to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were able to request to try to check into our room early, and luckily enough when we arrived they had a room available so we could put our stuff in our suite (and then head back out to the grounds to spend the afternoon lounging in our very own poolside cabana).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);\"\u003EThe pool at The Hermosa Inn has an intimate feel to it--this pool is not large and grandiose, but the space that they have is very well-utilized and the area is well-kept and the vegetation is beautiful. They have lush landscaping all around the pool, and our cabana was tucked a few feet towards the back of the pool area behind a little garden. We had a small walkway to get from the pool to our cabana, but since there were a few families at the pool, it was nice that we were a very quick walk away from the pool so we could escape the small crowd for a few minutes to have some quiet time in our cabana.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);\"\u003EThe cabana service was exceptional, and the best we have experienced in the valley so far! Brian, the young man who helped us with our cabana for the day, did an excellent job checking up on us and making sure we had plenty of water, answering any questions we had about the pool snacks and cabana cocktail menus, as well as bringing us all of our orders throughout the day!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);\"\u003EAfter spending the afternoon relaxing at the pool and in the shade of our cabana, we retreated to our room and were welcomed with an assortment of keto-friendly (ketogenic diet) snacks! We loved that they took the extra step to learn about what kinds of foods we prefer to eat, and how they surprised us with some delicious bites to eat (and a couple of low-carb drinks) to enjoy before our dinner later that evening.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);

I did not get a chance to ride The Falls, but I did learn that it is the world's longest waterpark ride! At this side of the park, you can brave the 3,600 foot-long whitewater river filled with raging rapids, large waves, and beautiful waterfalls when you ride The Falls.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003EBlastenhoff, my favorite part of the east side of Schlitterbahn, houses the Wolfpack, Master Blaster, Black Knight, The Torrent, and the Skycoaster. All of these thrill rides here at Blastenhoff are among some of the most popular attractions at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels (and serve as a good reason to think about investing in the Blast Pass, with the exception of the Skycoaster!) The rides here on this side of Blastenhoff emulate the most common kinds of high-thrill water slides and coasters you would look for at other waterparks. Without a doubt, enjoying the rides in Blastenhoff will serve up screams and giggles!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003E \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;

Copper Queen Mine was once a resource for millions and millions of mined resources, and greatly attributed to the success of the copper mining industry in the United States.

While you make your way through the town, be sure to look up at the walls and the staircases for hidden murals and gorgeous street art!
