Hi Twitter, posting these photos here from my thru-hike of the John Muir Trail since Instagram is down during my lunch break. Am I doing this right? @OutdoorDetour #Photography #AstroPhotography #MilkyWay #NightPhotography #NightPhotos

The aptly named Blue Lakes Trail, located in a glacial basin in southwest Colorado in the Mount Sneffels Wilderness is a gorgeous alpine hike with wildflower-filled meadows. Check it out here: https://t.co/D3juLDNcSn

Thanks to @outdoordetour for the photo!

At this point, we’re just ignoring the snow. Happy Spring 😅🌞| PC: @OutdoorDetour

We had a great stay at Crockett’s Run last weekend! Even with a sweet lodge and bad weather, we still had bonfires outside and took our tents down to their campground! This is what we do! Can’t stop, won’t stop! #campfire #bonfire #outdoors #nature #adventure #camping #cabin

Not bad, Ohio! Not bad at all! Nice to be back in my home state exploring new areas. Can’t believe I didn’t really know this area existed! #ohio #hockinghills #hiking #adventures #outdoors #outdoorphotography #naturephotography #waterfalls

Had a great time in Southern Ohio at Crockett's Run field testing the new prototype 1-person tent by Outdoor Vitals and exploring Hocking Hills State Park. Pretty damn impressed by all three! #camping #ohio #outdoorfun #nature #hockinghills

Havasu Falls permits opened up on February 1. Who’s going this year? Glad to hear that they jacked up the prices again. Whatever they can to to help weed out some of the tourists who don’t care about protecting it. LEAVE NO TRACE, PEOPLE! Leave it better than you found it!

A little taste of summer from the top of Havasu Falls. Yes, the water looks like that EVERYWHERE around Havasupai down in the Grand Canyon. Did you get your permits/reservations for this year?

I just got to #Yosemite and the full moon legitimately looks like this with a giant halo around it. It’s crazy. Guessing it’s because the fog here in the valley. I don’t know if this is normal at Yosemite or what, but it’s wild and awesome and what a great way to start the trip!

Favorite Wildfire Smoke Shot of 2018: a look down over Pitamakan Lake while traversing up and over Pitamakan and Dawson Passes on our first long (19-mile) day-hike in Glacier National Park in August—Just 4 days after the Lake McDonald fire started. 😢 #Glacier #NationalParks

Favorite night shot of 2018. Took my backpack off for this pic then left without it & didnt realize until I was 4 hours away. 🤦‍♂️ The Redwood Natl Park Rangers recovered it and shipped it to me a day before the last govt shutdown. We need our Rangers! #GovtShutdown #NationalParks

I don’t really have a lot going on until Yosemite in a couple weeks, so here’s my favorite roadscape of 2018. #photography #nationalparks #publiclands #outdoors #adventures #roadtrip

Last night I booked an impromptu flight to go back to Yosemite over MLK weekend as a birthday trip to myself, so I can go winter camp there again! I’ve gone to Yosemite at least twice a year for the last 3 years so why not get a head start on 2019?! I just can’t stop going back!

It was another crazy great year for me adventuring this amazing country of ours. More of the same coming in 2019 and can’t wait for my first adult trip abroad to explore Italy and it’s mountains later in the year! #backpacking #camping #adventure #outdoors #hiking #photography
