A Day Spent by the Atlantic Coast in Maine

Getting away to Maine was just the escape we needed after we had spent a few days in the classic Massachusetts summer thunderstorms.

An Early Morning At the Salt Flats in NorthWestern Utah

The sun rose, slowly but surely, and spread its shining rays over the tops of the mountains, illuminating them with first light. The light slowly made its way down the mountains before blanketing the valley floor in beautiful, bright golden morning light.

Walking The Beach at Crystal Cove, Laguna Beach, California

Laguna Beach is one of my favorite places to visit when I come to southern California, second only to Malibu, of course.

A Beach Day + Sunset At Corona del Mar, California

I arrived in California and had to go to one of my childhood favorite beaches, Corona del Mar. Located just next to Newport Beach, this was one of my mother's favorites when she was growing up here, so, naturally, it became a frequented beach for our family.

Hiking Notch Mountain in the Holy Cross Wilderness, Colorado

This easily became one of my favorite hikes I did while spending some time in Colorado. I had heard of the Mount of the Holy Cross from one of my favorite skiers, Cody Townsend, who had skied the Holy Cross couloir a couple years back. Since then, I poured over beta on how best to hike this mountain, and also bag my first 14er. When it was all said and done, I never ended up hiking up the Holy Cross. Instead, I opted for Notch Mountain, which lies directly across from the Mount of the Holy Cross, and gives a spectacular vantage point of the mountain.
