What do you suppose this guy is doing?
Silhouette and an emerging sunset over the Phoenix Mountains
Abandoned in Colorado.
It’s a bit jarring to come across the CAP canal when you’re deep in the desert near a place called East Cactus Plain Wilderness Area.
I don’t care what kind of flower it is, or what kind of bug it is. If I find a bug on a flower, I take a photo.
Acadia National Park sure is purdy.
I loved these little petroglyphs hidden away in Rarick Canyon/Red Draw Tank.
Ok, I admit it. Niagara Falls was actually more impressive than I thought it would be. I can’t say I enjoyed the atmosphere of the tourist traps that have sprung up next to it, but being at the edge of the falls itself was worth going out of my way for.
Wave Cave is one of those “Instagram-Famous” places that remained virtually unknown until the last few years. Nowadays, it’s hard to find an outdoors-related instagram account that doesn’t feature a shot from this spot in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix.
Zzyzx is one of the oddest places you’ll find in a national park—for quite a few reasons.
I’ll never tire of the view from Glacier Point. Looking forward to participating in a wedding here in October!
Pinnacle Balanced Rock looks like it could topple at any moment. Step gently, and hold that sneeze.
Fonts Point in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is one of those unexpected vistas that just stuns you the first time you see it.
My first out of state national park road trips was to Zion National Park with a rec group at ASU. One of my favorite trails that trip was Hidden Canyon, which provides a great view of Angels Landing.
When you catch the sunlight juuuust right…
When people want to hike in the desert even when it’s getting hot, I always recommend an overnight in Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness. It’s not everywhere that you can walk through a perennial stream at the same time you pass saguaros in the summer heat.
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is under attack by this sham “review” of national monuments. Don’t let them strip this amazing area of its protections. #KeepItPublic #MonumentsForAll
The Kaibab Plateau is vastly underappreciated.
Sunset kayaking down the Lower Salt—not a bad way to spend the evening.
Aguereberry Point in Death Valley sure doesn’t disappoint.
