My brother, our friend Ross, and I cycled the Natchez Trace Parkway the full 450 miles over 8 days (unsupported) this year. The dogwoods were in full bloom the full route north. It was a really big accomplishment and challenge for us!

The sunsets looking out over the South Rim at Big Bend National Park never disappoint. The sunrise at Pinnacles is pretty spectacular too!

One of my favorite parks is Big Bend National Park. It took me a bit to understand why it is so special and now I’ve made at least 6 trips there to off-road, backpack, and hike. It is a unique and amazing park.

In 2021, I completed a backpacking trip around Mt. Rainer on the Wonderland Trail, just shy of 100 miles. While photographs cannot fully capture its beauty, here are a couple of images that remind me of the beauty and majesty of the mountain and the park.
