Over Thanksgiving break, Matt and I visited Zion, Canyonlands, and Arches National Parks in Utah as well as Antelope Canyon on the Navajo Reservation outside Page, Arizona, and Horseshoe Bend (of the Colorado River) there too. I’ve never been any place that dry before, that red. North Carolina clay is notoriously red and dense, but …

Rest & Relaxation + Nature
I love it when people visit us in Laramie, Wyoming. I love to show them our little house (on the prairie? almost), our fun frontier town, the mountains that surround us, the stark and undeniable beauty of the West. Most of my family came to visit me this summer after a long roadtrip or flight/s. …
Banff National Park, Canada
We got to Banff by driving up the west side of Glacier National Park, through the Canadian border, and up through Kootenay National Park in Canada. The highway that runs through Banff National Park is called the Trans-Canada Highway, or AB-1 (the "AB" is short for Alberta, the province). We stopped for dinner at the Juniper …
A Brief Stay in Glacier National Park
Last week Matt, his family, and I flew into Calgary, Alberta (Canada), drove down to Glacier National Park in Montana, and then drove back to Calgary via Banff National Park (also Canada) on one big tour of some of the west's most picturesque snowy peaks. We only had a week to see these two beautiful …
California Trip, Part II: Big Sur, Yosemite, and Santa Barbara

Whatever the reason, many of us outdoor fiends end up on social media, and occasionally seeing other people's adventures can inspire us …

Mountain Vocabulary
Autumn this year is perfectly lovely in Wyoming. It's been in the high sixties and sunny almost every day these past few weeks. Last weekend Matt and I spent the night in Denver to see a concert, but primarily to buy ALL THE PUMPKIN SPICE THINGS at Trader Joe's. We left with pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin …
Fear of Discomfort, or Longs Peak
Earlier I was making a list in my journal of fears I hold: fear of failure (duh), fear of the appearance of failure, fear of discomfort. It might make some of you laugh, but I really do have a fear of discomfort despite my moving to Wyoming, by far the coldest and most rural place I've ever lived, and …
Summertime
I much prefer Laramie this time of year. All the flowers bloom at once as the season is so short; the zinnias I planted out front have been at it for almost a month. I can leave all the windows open at home, day and night. Train brakes and whistles, like a chorus of upset …
