One of my favorite hikes in Arizona at golden hour 🌵

Superstitions Mountains 🌵

Have you ever hiked lava tubes or a cave?? It is definitely one of my favorites!

I love hiking the Lava River Cave up in Flagstaff but these Lava Tubes out in Idaho near Crater Of The Moon were incredible! It was such a great experience hiking by lantern through the caves and having the whole cave to ourselves!

What is your favorite hike in the Phoenix area??

Piestewa Peak has always been at the top of my list especially at night! Something about the city glow and quietness of the mountains is something special!

White Sands, New Mexico always feels like walking on another planet. It was amazing catching golden hour and seeing the beautiful white and blue hues as the sun dropped. I cannot wait to shoot astro photos out here one day! 🤘

Hiking under the glow of the full moon never gets old! Nights like this remind me why I love shooting! 🌕

Observation Point at sunset never misses. Such an awesome little trail with an insane payoff in Zion National! I always have to stop in whenever I am passing through the area! 🌄

Monsoon chasing out in the desert just hits different ⚡

Snagged this one over the Superstitions with the Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel in the foreground about 2 years ago. This photo is a composite of 7 separate images shooting on a long exposure to capture the lightning strikes and blend them together in post. I am hoping for some monsoon chasing this year!

Still thinking about those views at Multnomah Falls… Oregon just hits differently and I cannot wait to get back out there this year! 🌲💧

Missing the mossy trails, fresh air, and all the little hidden spots along the way. Already itching to get back out there and find more waterfalls. Anyone got Oregon recs for next time? Drop ‘em below.
