Oftentimes weekend reservations are fully booked within hours of the sites being available online and first-come, first-served campsites usually get snatched up before most weekend warriors can even get out ...

Literally, no good reason as to why it took me so long to hike to Clouds Rest. If there is, I’m really not sure what it is. As a self-proclaimed view hunter that’s been diligently exploring California and the Western U.S. with handfuls of cameras over the last few years, the views from the summit...

In early May my boyfriend and I headed to Alaska to explore Kenai Fjords National Park and the highlight of the trip was the 3 day/2 night kayaking trip we went on with Miller's Landing. While there are a few trails to hike in the park the best way to see and experience Kenai Fjords is by boat, h...

My girlfriend and I have never been to North Carolina, but we have heard so many good things about Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains that we were incredibly excited when we got the chance to check it out. We knew that the Blue Ridge Parkway was a famous drive. One full of epic views and scen...

I've spent a good part of my 30 years on this earth traveling and documenting adventures through a camera lens. I recently had the opportunity to explore the White Sands National Monument outside of Alamogordo, NM and it was one of the most otherworldly places I've seen!  Last stop on paved road...

In October of 2016, two great friends and I got to head west (all of us being from the east coast) to Springdale, Utah and spend a week enjoying as much of the beauty and wonder of Zion as we could. We spent two days and a night in the backcountry, and the rest of the week explored through a seri...

The hike for Mt. Storm King can be found here. This hike is truly amazing and no walk in the park. If you tried this hike at all right after the winter season then you know that it was quite tricky. Well, there were no ropes. So that added some much needed danger to this hike (sarcasm).   Now th...

From atop a rock outcropping a mile past the end of Soldier's Pass Trail Several weeks ago I was attempting to decide what I wanted to do for my spring break from my masters degree program, as I didn't want to stay in Louisville for the whole week. So since I had been stocking up on reward miles...
