This is a photo of my daughter as we backpacked through Canyonlands to celebrate her 24th birthday. I love the contrasts out there in that gorgeous place. The "mountain" in the sky foreshadows the mountains we'll see when we climb up over those rocks in the background. It was truly…

When I went to Yosemite National Park for the first time in July 2014, I had no idea what to expect. I was going on a two-week backpacking trip in the backcountry with 12 other high school students, but I had never been to a national park before, let alone…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
We've been talking about visiting Yellowstone for years, and we finally did it at the end of May. These two seniors are so sorry we waited so long -- we should have gone years ago when we could have done more hiking and/or taken our kids! So many amazing sights!…
