My stories and photos from the National Parks (and more)
Would you rather travel somewhere new or return to one of your favorite places? I’ve thought about this question for a long time. I still struggle with deciding between returning to my favorites or going somewhere new. I feel like the question can apply to all different types of travel. I’ve thought about it in...

After hiking all over Arches National Park the previous day I branched out. I spent most of my morning in neighboring Canyonlands National Park.

So, if you disagree with me, please tell me your favorite parks... Continue Reading →
Hiking Tip #4: Know what to expect from your hike I am no expert on hiking. Do hiking experts even exist? Maybe you could call guides and search and rescue workers expert hikers. Anyway, like I said, I’m no expert. I have run out of water, gotten lost on the trail more than once, and... Continue Reading →
