I have always been drawn to mountains. A child of the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California, being near mountains simply feels natural to me. In my eyes, mountains are essentially synonymous with home.
My love for exploration and adventure has always been present, but my range of travel was pretty limited until recently. In the last few years, I have ventured out of my home state for some of the first times in my life. Here, I will recount these times. I hope that the images I share convey even a glimpse of the sheer wonder and magnificence of the tremendous landscapes I have been lucky enough to witness firsthand.
All of the photos I post were taken by me or my adventure-mates unless otherwise noted.
Let's begin...
I start my story with one of the first trips that pops into my mind when I think of the word, "adventure": a five day road trip my mom and I took from Southern California to Southwestern Utah in the summer of 2014.
