I took my partner David on his first overnight backpacking trip! His first time wearing a full pack, filtering water, hanging food from a tree, and sleeping near a tucked away mountain lake. We hiked about 11 miles each day in 90+ degree sunshine with consistent elevation change. He was such a sweaty trooper! I probably could have picked an easier first overnight…..but I mean these views 🤩🏔❤️

My first ever river kayaking trip! I used to think about doing this all the time when I was little. I had no clue that one day a man I love would teach me how. Lucky, lucky me. Hope you get to enjoy something new this Pride month too!

The first time I’ve ever seen a whole rainbow from start to finish, right in front of me!! It rained on and off the whole day/night of camping, but rainbows were popping off left and right over the lake.

My friend @adjinntonic visited from from Chicago and it rained the whole time EXCEPT the one day we drove to Glacier National Park. The road was packed and we had to park over 2 miles from the trailhead, but the hike out to Avalanche Lake was so-so-so worth it. Stunning trail, even better destination!

Took a hike to Finger Lake for a weekend picnic. We planned to keep hiking to a second lake, but this spot took us by surprise and we stayed for hours. I’m blissfully ignorant of most trails in my new home area (Whitefish, MT (yep, I moved again)) so I get to hike with zero expectations and stumble on views like this. Can’t wait to come back when the water is warm enough to swim!
