Enjoying the brief window of time between boiling heat and constant cold. I don’t ever want to live somewhere without fall colors. Did it once, wouldn’t recommend.
Kayaking on Hungry Horse Reservoir with @davidstevenblair. No one around except some ducks.
Living in Montana is complicated. On the one hand, you get amazing views like this (went on a company rafting trip, thanks for a perfect day and your allyship @tamarackcannabis.mt )
Hiking season is here!! Time to play in the mountains 🥹⛰
Sunset boat ride with some coworkers, celebrating the end of the busy summer tourism season.
My favorite season to hike! Crisp air, the best colors, fewer people on trails during the week. This was my first 8+ mile solo hike in months. I sang and danced. AHHH FALLL!!
