Makes you feel ready for anything because you’re a part of something vast. Standing and looking out at the Grand Canyon connects you to something profound. Just remember that the river didn’t do this in a day - good things take time. Amazingly grand things take even longer. - - - #grandcanyonnps #findyourpark #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure #partofthisworld #arizona_landscapes (at Grand Canyon National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-CGKTBVWE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lcu8yleq80nb

Returned to Valley of Fire on a spur of the moment decision and it was so worth it. - - #valleyoffiresunset #valleyoffire #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure (at Valley of Fire State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJS9u8HwBk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1onr2yrwkejpj

Heading back to the land of red rocks soon and I’m stoked! This time I’m headed to the Grand Canyon. Anyone have any tips for must-sees out there?

Did an iPhone panorama at the top of a VERY tall rock. View was definitely worth it 😍🏜 - - #valleyoffirestatepark #redrocks #valleyoffirenevada #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure (at Valley of Fire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvKHNmHnk6b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19u4ginhgghpb

In my happy place 🏜 **** When I moved away from Utah I knew I would miss the mountains and the desert. What I didn’t know was just how much I would miss it. So when I visited Valley of Fire last weekend with a couple of friends I was swept away by how beautiful it was and how emotional I got driving into the park. I never realized how much I missed ROCKS. The West is, and will always be, home. Valley of Fire is an amazing state park that’s a perfect day visit away from Las Vegas and I highly recommend it. 📸: @daveweinberger - - #valleyoffirestatepark #visitnevada #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure #liveyouradventure (at Valley of Fire State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwUdg7nY0Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d1nd21zrofdw

Watching the Oscars tonight! Excited to see how this whole no host thing goes. And the fashion. Oh, and naturally, the movies. Who do you think will win? Photo taken last year during one of the two sunset cruises I did and I honestly don’t remember which. Lol but Lady Liberty is looking lovely, no? - - #ladyliberty🗽 #newyorkstate #newyorkcity🗽 #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSGayEn8xe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f6c3rrsgo4zb

My first ever shot of the Milky Way. You can barely see it, but it’s there - on the right. From a very fun weekend learning all about astrophotography with @nationalparksatnight and @mrhollender, who taught me a lot. I’ve definitely got the bug and wanna go to a true dark sky and catch that Milky Way ✨🌌✨ - - #nationalparksatnight #milkyway_nightscapes #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure #fireislandlighthouse #astrophotography #liveadventurously (at Fire Island Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btua7OkHBOB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ehtvgd4k7dd2

Glimpse of the sunset through the trees. It’s good to take such small moments and soak them in. Breathe in the peace and let your heart settle into a slower pace. - - - #getawayhouse #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #travelmemories #awakethesoul #optoutside #visualsoflife #wonderful_places #forgeyourownpath #peaceandquiet (at Catskill , New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRIfRxA6M2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aw5zgr7r43ws

What a roller coaster of a year. And what a wonderful trip to have star in my #2018bestnine ! Switzerland was beyond beautiful and I’m so grateful I got to go. This year is ending on a wonderful note and I can’t wait to see what adventures happen in 2019! - - #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #adventuresahead https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3eTmFHqsT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tpyhahqu38xn

A few weeks ago I got to attend the @nationalparksatnight summit on Long Island and where we did a session at the Fire Island Lighthouse. This was the first time I’ve ever done night photography and I’ve definitely been bitten by the bug. I wanna go out and do lots more of it. Thanks to @ruinism & @mrhollender for making it so fun and informative! - - #nightphotographyworkshops #fireislandlighthouse #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventure (at Fire Island Lighthouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYXOLgn46Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fa6armu4cwh5

With a snowstorm on its way in tomorrow I wanted to post what’s probably my favorite fall photo of the year. Taken on the trail from the Cornish Estate ruins near Cold Spring, NY. - - #coldspringny #fallweather🍁 #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #starttheadventures (at Cornish Estate Ruins) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqMBZCGHYHu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ymqh1l1aj7z0

Moments with family are everything. These two photos are my dad and me - my mom’s behind the camera - and in the first photo we’re being silly because Mom took the first one several times claiming we blinked and then, in trying to “blink on purpose” and then just kept laughing too hard. These are the moments that matter. (at Acadia National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8RRonHqN2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e37rxsq4emrd

Fancy lunch at this spot in the Bernese Alps? I do! It was like being in the Misty Mountains and I was in heaven.

Happy Halloween!!!! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Mainly because it’s in autumn (my favorite season) and partly because candy corn and costumes.

Looking forward to these fall colors hitting NYC! Took this shot at the #duckbrookbridge in @acadianps a few weeks ago. Definitely one of the most beautiful parks in the U.S. - - - #acadianationalpark #fallcolors2018 #dauntlessdreamer #seekoutexplore #neverstopexploring #travelmemories #passionpassport #awakethesoul #optoutside #landscapecaptures #exploretocreate #splendid_earth #visualsoflife #wonderful_places #explore #starttheadventure #beautifuldestinations #letsgosomewhere #forgeyourownpath #exploreeverything #stayandwander #liveyourownadventure (at Duck Brook) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaREPjFhcy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nqx5z9d9i3e8

Wave watching with the high tide coming in was EPIC. A true highlight of the @acadianps trip and my kind of beach day!
