Wish I could be transported back to summer to float down the Buffalo National River. It looked so inviting during our last visit, but we only had a couple of hours available—too short for a paddle. 65 0
We’re picking some new photos for our living room wall this week, and this aerial shot from Gates of the Arctic National Park has made the cut. We had had no idea how amazing flightseeing in remote Alaska would be until this day—my first significant exposure to bush planes in the backcountry. Holy shit it did not disappoint! 122 10
Still missing being up on Montana, where I finished my Treasured Places quest, comprised of the 478 specially-protected public lands in the country. Check out treasuredplaces.us for more on how you adopt the quest too. 69 1
It's been awhile since i've planned a trip to Arizona's "West Coast." It's probably time to change that... [launches calendar app to look for appropriate weekends] 58 0

Earlier this week I visited the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument. This photo is taken from "Decision Point," where Lewis and Clark made a critically important decision on which riverway to follow during their expedition westward. 93 10
I'm currently plotting out some kayaking trips for the rest of the year, and I'm realizing how few Arizona lakes I've actually paddled. Guess I should change that. #optoutside #kayakarizona 84 5
