The sunset on my flight to Europe. It was a pretty thing to wake up to.

My planes ended up gettin delayed and I had to sprint to the other side of the San Francisco airport to make my flight to Munich. Luckily I made it….but my bag didn’t. So I’m as of now I only have one change of clothes and my Birkenstocks 😅.

Smith Rock State Park

Oregon, October 2018

We stopped by Smith Rock on our way back home. At this point I was very sick so all I was able to do was walk around the view point. However, I am definitely coming back to climb/highline here!

First Yosemite Sunset

Yosemite National Park, California, July 2018

We made it into Yosemite on the second day just in time for sunset! Kolbi and I were in awe! The sky lit up bright pink, red, and orange and we got our first glimpse of Half Dome in the distance! Next was a not so fun adventure of finding our friends and campsite in the dark.

Yosemite National Park Road Trip

California, July 2018

Photos of our drive down to Yosemite! We stopped in Ashland Oregon, Reno Nevada and Mono Lake, California. Plus I got my first glimpse of Mt. Shasta!  It was a long trip, about 13 hours that we broke into 2 days of driving.

Red Rocks Amphitheater

Colorado, June 2018

I have always wanted to see a concert here! Not only did I finally get to but I also got to see my favorite band play there, The Dirty Heads, among other bands I really like. The sound was amazing. This was the single best concert i have ever been to.

Maroon Bells

Colorado, June 2018

Reported to be North America’s most photographed lake. These beautiful mountains were named the Maroon Bells after the Iron content they carry, giving them that maroon/red color. You have to take a bus to get to it and where the bus drops you off you can choose to stay at the first lake or do the 5 mile round trip hike to Little Crater Lake. This place was full of wildlife and beautiful aspen trees!
