Today is the anniversary of the Mount St. Helen’s eruption. I grew up fascinated by what had happened but nothing can prepare you for how barren the land still is after all these years, especially if you visit Mt. Rainier after.
Adventures await…stay tuned.

Overwhelmed by all the website traffic regarding my Christmas Holiday to Page, Arizona! This is a shot from a true hidden gem, Cathedral Canyon. While you may go to see Antelope Canyon, don’t sleep on this one or Secret Canyon!
I’ve had a whirlwind couple of days, very tired, and working about a million hours this weekend but very grateful.
A busy weekend and potentially life changing week ahead (no pressure, ha!) so remembering beachside camping last month…
A peacefully spot in the heart of the city…
My recent post on Upper Antelope Canyon has had a big spike in readership…thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the canyon as much as I did! Link in bio.
As #nationalparkweek comes to a close, a unique view of @brycecanyonnps_gov! When I headed home from my Christmas holiday in Arizona, I passed behind Bryce’s famous hoodoos. It was such a cool perspective, especially at sunset!
Moody vibes on Lake Crescent, Olympic National Park…
