Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Feeling the cool sea breeze on our skin isn’t something we Arizonans get to experience too often – save for in Lake Havasu City, of course. The Grand Canyon State’s very own island paradise, Lake Havasu City is home to a scenic hiking path that parallels the sandy, palm tree-laden waterfront. Beachcomber Boulevard is a short and sweet trail that will transport you to a tropical oasis – no expensive plane ticket required!
Located within Lake Havasu State Park, Beachcomber Boulevard is a 3.8-mile loop that takes you on a short-and-sweet tour of the island.
Paralleling the shoreline for much of its duration, the aptly-named trail features waterfront views that make you feel as if you've escaped to a tropical paradise.
Palm trees and lofty mountains each take up residence along the path - a unique combination of scenery you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere outside of Arizona.
You can use all your energy to admire the surroundings, too, as the 60-foot elevation gain will barely have you working up a sweat.

The tropical vibe continues as you pass a neighborhood of stucco homes with tiled roofs, much like what you'd see on the rocky hillsides overlooking the beaches of California.
For those entering on foot or bicycle, the fee is reduced to $3.
Although the trail isn’t formally ADA accessible, it’s navigable for most wheelchairs and other mobility equipment. The grade is an estimated 5% or less, and the surface is paved, smooth, and sufficiently wide. To learn more about Beachcomber Boulevard, visit its page on AllTrails.
