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?

So...our weekend backpacking trip had a few glitches, but it was great nonetheless to spend some time in a gorgeous wilderness with some fun friends. Thanks for joining me @swissmissthefirst @exploringisinmydna @mjames126 @mcarr093

A wet winter has scuffled the normal water management schedule for the Lower Salt River. Not only has kayaking season been delayed by more than a month, but it looks like we'll have half the usual flows until monsoon season. Nonetheless, I can't wait until we can get back out to paddling longer stretches on the river later this week.

It’s been 5 years since I last hiked Angels Landing—a quick detour during a backpacking trip on the West Rim. It was always a fun hike, though I have little desire to do it today given the overcrowding the trail routinely experiences.

I'm doing a little planning for an upcoming overnight trip to Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness with @exploringisinmydna, @mcarr093, @mjames126, and @swissmissthefirst. It's one of my favorite easy backpacking trips in one of the state's most scenic little canyons. The best part? An intimate perennial stream that flows yearround in the Sonoran Desert. Can't wait. #ourwild #keepitpublic #wilderness

I bought a new kayak on Saturday afternoon, then made it out to the Salt River for a quick paddle with @exploringisinmydna before sunset. I can’t wait for Salt River kayaking season to finally arrive.
