While in Yellowstone National Park, I visited many of the geysers and was completely captivated. Seeing them in person was pure magic. Each one was more unique and beautiful than the previous one. Chromatic Spring was one of my favorites.
During a week long trip to Yellowstone National Park, I spent time hiking, observing and feeling the magic of the park. I explored the canyon rim above the Yellowstone River and looked down at the rushing water in the distance. I hiked through the rolling hills, watching the white water flowing through and shaping the landscape around me. The canyon ...
In 2013 my partner Kyle and I ventured on an epic trip to Wyoming. For about 10 days we explored Yellowstone National Park as well as Teton National Park. We only had 3 days in the Tetons but we made the most of it. We backpacked Cascade/Paintbrush Canyons and did a few other day hikes ...
