I just realized that I never posted here that I finished my lifelong quest to visit all 419 National Park units! Glacier Bay National Park was my final park unit; what a great place to finish. Deep thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout the journey. I’ve been overwhelmed by your support & investment in this goal. 🙏

We’e in Alaska for the rest of the month, trying to mark off the last 11 national park units I haven’t yet visited. If you’re interested in following along, check out my IG stories for updates. Here’s a shot from our bush flight to Glacier Bay National Preserve earlier today.

My favorite photo from last year's Alaska trip was this shot of Denali looming over a family canoeing. I took this on the long bus ride back from Kantishna, and was annoyed when the family started paddling towards the middle of the lake, disrupting the great relfection we were hoping for. Instead, it probably made the image the better. #optoutside #nationalparkgeek #findyourpark

A week from today, we leave for another Alaska trip. Tobe told, I'm equal parts excited and nervous. If things go exactly as planned, I'll reach a pretty big milestone—a life goal that I never seriously expected to finish until the last handful of years. #optoutside #goquesting

I'm looking forward to today's adventure to Fossil Creek, one of the true gems of Arizona's public lands. I'm especially thankful for all those advocates that fought hard to restore natural flows here, and who are doing what they can today to ensure this place remains as wild and undeveloped as possible.

In less than a month, I'll be back up in Alaska. Last year's trip was incredibly special. It was my first time there and even though I arrived with high expectations, it still blew my mind. If things go as planned, I'll finish off my quest to visit every unit of the National Parks System. I wonder how I'll feel when I'm finally done?
