Travel With Me On My Adventures

My Recent Journeys...

The Na Pali Coast

I needed a break from life and work.  One idea led to another and before I knew it I booked plane tickets to Kauai.  Traveling to Hawaii during COVID was a weird experience but it gave me time to reflect. Read more about my journey to the garden island.

Highline

My journeys have a way of changing my perspective and its almost always positive change. Read more about my journey hiking the 103 mile Uinta Highline Trail in the mountains of northeast Utah and a beautiful summit of Kings Peak.

Pacific North West Volcanos

Pushing my limits and learning new skills for the future.  Read more about my first glacier climb.  Visited my 49th out of the 50 states, had some fun in the Pacific Northwest and learned a lot about what it takes to climb the big mountains.
