Mountain Biking Devil's Bridge | Arizona
- As you might have noticed, I toted my Surly mountain bike all the way from North Carolina for this trip. We got to use them a handful of times and it was fun. Neither of us had ever mountain biked in the desert before though, so we were pretty excited to try that out. Sedona has TONS of trails. [...]
Hiking in Sedona | Arizona
- Sedona was on my “must visit” list for some time now. We planned this trip very loosely, and honestly, I hadn’t even planned to be able to visit this town originally. But various weather events had us driving way farther south than we anticipated, and that turned out be a really awesome thin [...]
Driving to Sedona | Arizona
- I had a really great time in California. But with El Nino in full force this winter, heavy rains forced us to end our visit early. The day before we left, it rained the whole day. I was working in our camper when I stepped outside to get something from the car and saw that the whole campground was floode [...]
Visiting San Fransisco Chinatown | California
- As you may have already gathered, I'm not much of a city person. We’ve really enjoyed our time exploring State and National Parks along this trip. That being said- we were very excited to visit San Fransisco. We planned to head into the city for one day during our visit to the bay area. With El [...]
Point Reyes Shipwreck + Lighthouse | California
- In the time that I was in Point Reyes, we had been hearing a lot about this shipwreck. Something about a fire and the fact that this local monument had to be dismantled and removed. Later we heard that it was actually a group of photographers who destroyed this beautiful relic while trying out some py [...]
Sunset on Mount Tamalpais | California
- I went to Mount Tamalpais by recommendation of our friends Meg and Matt. We briefly looked up some photos online before our visit, but had no idea it would be this beautiful. The drive up the mountain is quite the adventure! The road winds round and around, along steep cliffs and overlooks. Al [...]
Hiking and Camping with Meg + Matt | California
- I can’t tell you how good it feels to catch up with old friends on the road. Our friends Meg and Matt just moved to San Francisco from North Carolina. They’ve lived here for about four months now, so I knew we had to meet up with them if we headed down their way. Lucky for us, el Ni [...]
Hiking the Estero Trail in Point Reyes | California
- As I’m sure you can tell from the photos, the Point Reyes National Seashore is really gorgeous. But I’m sure you are also surprised - as was I - to see so many cows along the coast. What I had envisioned was rocky cliffs and jagged landscapes. It was such a pleasant surprise to see so [...]
Grayson and Kristen | Grandfather Mountain Backpacking Engagement
- I had an awesome time backpacking Grandfather Mountain with Grayson, Kristen, and their dog Lucy Goosey. Even with a 20 degree low, relentless wind, and climbing on all fours over icy rock with a 40 lb pack, Grayson and Kristen were in high spirits. It was a truly rugged experience and definitely the most challenging b [...]
