Happy 100 @grandcanyonnps ✨💕 I’ve only been twice, but every time I saw it each of those trips it continued to amaze me. Can’t wait for the next trip. #grandcanyoncentennial #findyourpark #desertsunset (at Grand Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWyFRPF7Km/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tnvxu3q0zabr

Been a while since I posted some puffins. These guys are still one of my favorite birds I’ve encountered. #mystopover #puffintakeover #migratorybirds (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUahVZlOuG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xiwj5ijg7zjw

I know everyone usually loves waterfall long exposures, but I love seeing how the water falls in sheets and every shot is different. #akakafalls #gohawaii #onlyinhawaii (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bty9x-0lcNT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5t71604wqju1

Been thinking a lot about @yellowstonenps the past few days and can’t wait to get back this summer. Spotted this bison just moments after we drove away from the massive surprise bison jam we were the first car in. #ynpforever #yellowstonepledge #yellowstonenationalpark (at Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtovZIwFnm_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ulnwvpm3oafg

Next new park trip planned. Olympic National Park in April for my birthday. Olympic’s been number one on my list for a while....rainforest, waterfalls, ocean, rocky shores, tide pools, and maybe even see some grey whales. #findyourpark #grandcanyon #nationalparklife (at Grand Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmKdX8lhhR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1811l72esjjfy

It was so incredible to see so many green sea turtles laying on the beach or swimming in the ocean. The same day I took this we saw a Hawaiian monk seal on the beach and from shore saw spinner dolphins and whales (and of course lots of bird sightings). Hawaii was absolutely incredible for wildlife sightings. #gohawaii #endangeredspecies #findyourdistance (at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtO7F52FSoP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16tm22bk5jdz6

Happy birthday to @rockynps yesterday. Thanks for being such a special and important place in my life. Places like here at Deer Mountain mean the world to me. I took this as a tribute to my dad last October the day before two years since losing him. He encouraged me to stay in CO, and I wouldn’t have been to any of the places on this bag if I had left and given up (and have even added more since then). #rockymountainnationalpark #protectourparks #nationalparklife (at Deer Mountain Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJi2o3hx1g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uik04tdjm509

At first we couldn’t see anything in the crater of @haleakalanps but then the fog started clearing and craters and cones began emerging. We never got a completely clear view, but personally I think our experience was more dramatic and extraordinary. #haleakala #moodfordays #gohawaii (at Haleakalā) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCCLCyhENi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wz061hyc5m6v

Only a day after standing in a tide pool by Kona, staring at Maui during the sunset, walking the beach past five lounging sea turtles, feeling the ocean mist and warm sun...is it time to go back yet? #foreverwanderlust #takemeback #gohawaii (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3rznQBz-T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kyj44f2goto7

Black sand beach and lush cliffs 💚 my kind of spot. And I’ll point it out in my story but that’s a view of Maui in the very back of the cliffs #hikehawaii #blacksandbeach #viewsfordays (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsv-k7NB38o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tjr8jtsusbxi

Lack of posting has been due to being in gorgeous Hawaii. This hike on Maui was ridiculously beautiful. Behind me is a massive valley with fog lining the tops. Dreamy photos of that later. For now here’s the incredible views out to the ocean and tiny me for scale. Thanks @danquilo for replacing my tripod and capturing this for me. #hikehawaii #mtnchicks #getoutstayout (at Maui) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bslt2llhOK8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17w6ze5nk9mhc
