She spends most of her free time outside hiking, skiing, mountain biking, doing yoga – you name it. When she’s not outside, you can find her researching cheap flights, exploring hipster coffee shops or on the hunt for Denver’s best mac n’ cheese. You can follow her adventures on Instagram @themillennialoutside.

Rocky Mountain National Park is Mikaela’s home park and she spends summer and winter mornings alike exploring its trails. She even hiked to Dream Lake to get her engagement photos taken in a dress. Don’t worry, she was wearing hiking boots.
