All the dedication our youngest has shown over the past four years really paid off in her senior season. Her sisters, June and KC, along with our new son-in-law Nick, her coaches, friends, and role models, played an important role in everything she's achieving.

Out here in the Valley of Dreams, the area telling a story older than memory. Each tour reminds us that we’re not just walking through history, we’re walking with it.

I’m third to right with my other guide Gilbert. Check out our tours @navajotoursusa.com

Birthday party bound after work!

Summer rains in the San Juan Basin create the perfect moment to travel. The quiet escape you've been looking for with epic clouds, glowing light, and surreal landscapes. ✨️

Alien Throne, Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Navajo Wilderness.

Trading the noise for nature this Sunday.

We don’t just hike here. We listen. We remember, where wild horses roam in the hoodoos of Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah.

The etched lines of Bisti, timeless

Needed to grill. Got our teenagers gathered (voluntarily, shockingly) and gave my wife a well-earned break.

Leaving New Mexico is one thing but returning? That’s soul work. The colors just don't shine, they sing. The land doesn’t just feel familiar, it wraps around you. It teaches, it remembers, and it never forgets who you are, no matter how far you’ve wandered.

Currently en route despite the weather. See you there!

Possibly getting stuck 16 miles in, but hey, adventure doesn’t begin until my tires give up, right? #nmwx

Na’azísí Bito’ (Gopher Spring) Cuba, New Mexico 9:40 a.m. #nmwx

Aways a special time when our kids come home for spring break and we can reconnect and share our traditions. Our kids are back from San Jose, and they’re excited to enjoy our traditional foods again. We welcome all our children home, surrounded by the strength and protection of our sacred lands.

🌟🌌 My ancestors understood the celestial sky, wove its meaning and ceremony into their lives. Archaeoastronomy doesn’t just confirm this, we’ve always known it, our oral traditions have always told it.

The Chaco World has alignment, intention, and precision. And the cosmic expanse backs it up. 🌌 ✨️

Off to Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Navajo this morning, hoping to catch the Alien Throne with a fresh dusting of snow. ❄️ #nmwx #WinterWonderland #NewMexicoMagic
