A photo from Susquehannock State Forest overlooking Kettle Creek State Park. Rolling hills covered in lush green trees dappled in sunlight by the cloud cover gently frame Kettle Lake and Kettle Creek from a scenic viewpoint.

Accepted as an onX Offroad Trail Guide. Deadline: map + submit one trail in 30 days.

Wrote a Behind the Scenes Field Note about the good, the sketchy, and how I’m trying to do this responsibly.

A photo from Susquehannock State Forest overlooking Kettle Creek State Park. Rolling hills covered in lush green trees dappled in sunlight by the cloud cover gently frame Kettle Lake and Kettle Creek from a scenic viewpoint.

New Field Note is live: I got accepted as an onX Offroad Trail Guide, and I have 30 days to map + submit a trail to stay in.

I wrote about the good parts, the parts worth squinting at, and the personal rules I’m using so “more access” doesn’t turn into […]

From above, the Aspens spill down toward Ophir Pass in waves of gold and green. I haven’t driven it yet, but after seeing it from this view, I know I will.

Second time on Hunts Mesa, and it still gave me chills. 🌄
High above Monument Valley, the land glows gold at sunset. Our Navajo guide Ty shared stories that made the desert come alive. No matter how many times I return, this view always moves me.

The storm rolled out just long enough for the San Juans to shine — snow-capped peaks, golden aspens, and that perfect post-storm light spilling across Last Dollar Road. Colorado, you really do know how to put on a show. 🍂❄️

Flew the drone over Ophir Pass between Telluride and Ouray this fall — golden aspens, crisp air, and those rugged San Juan peaks. 🍂 Colorado never misses in autumn.

Cold winds, golden aspens, and the ghost of history at Yankee Girl Mine above Ouray. Snow dusted the peaks as I framed the shot — a reminder that beauty and grit often share the same road. 🍂❄️

Above Telluride, the mountains were a riot of color—golden aspens, fiery oaks, and a touch of snow on the peaks. I waited for the light to sweep the valley and land just right. Fall in Colorado never misses. 🍂

There’s something magical about these aspens in Colorado — each one twisted by years of wind, snow, and mountain life. Standing in a sea of gold felt like walking through a living painting. 🍂

A rainbow appeared just as the light broke through the aspens along the Last Dollar Highway last week. 🌈🍂 Moments like this remind me why I chase the changing seasons—where storm meets sun and the mountains hold their breath. #OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad

San Clemente pier last week—clouds stacked heavy, the sun carving golden rays through the gaps, and the sand catching every reflection. Nights like these remind me why I keep coming back with camera in hand. 🌅✨

Last weekend in the White Mountains, I launched the drone into a storm rolling across the range. 🌩️ From above, the scale was staggering—clouds stacking, rain sweeping, the desert alive. Would you watch it roll through or head for cover?
#OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad

The White Mountains delivered—dusty tracks, quiet solitude, and then a sky that set itself ablaze in pinks, oranges, and violets. 🌄 These are the road-less-traveled rewards. ✨
#OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad #sunsetmagic

Quiet camp vibes with Charlie turned wild in the White Mountains when the sky lit up with mammatus clouds and storm fire. ⛈️ Nights like this are why I chase the unpredictable.
#OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad #stormchasers

Camping in the White Mountains when the sky turned black and a storm rolled in. Clouds boiled above me, glowing with fiery light—an unpredictable show only nature could create. Nights like these are why I chase the wild. 🌌
#OTGLIFE #CanonUSA #onxoffroad

🍁 Counting down the days until the trails turn gold. Charlie’s ready. 🚙✨

A still January morning in Yosemite — fresh snow, mist drifting through pines, and El Capitan towering above. At 3,000+ feet, it’s the largest granite face in the world, and today it felt like nature’s cathedral. ❄️🏔️

#ElCapitan #Yosemite #WinterMagic #LandscapePhotography #CanonUSA #onxoffroad

Shot this on a hot summer day in D.C. — the U.S. Capitol, standing tall since 1800, still commands attention. That dome? Finished during the Civil War. A quiet moment in a place where history never stops unfolding. #USCapitol #CanonUSA #OTGLIFE #onxoffroad

On the dusty trail back from Hunts Mesa, this vibrant claret cup cactus was like a firework in the sand.
Amid the dry wood and silence, it reminded me: even the desert knows how to bloom. 🌵🔥

#OTGLIFE #onxoffroad #canonusa #desertblooms #cactuslove #huntsmesa #landscapephotography

The sky was quiet.
The sea even quieter.
I watched a single bird fly through the last of the light—and for once, I didn’t reach for a caption.
Just a deep breath, and a quiet thank you.

The sun slipped behind the San Clemente Pier and lit up the shoreline like fire on water. One of those moments where you just stop and take it all in. Grateful for evenings like this. 🌅

Shot this lonely yucca standing proud in the white dunes of New Mexico as the sun dipped below the horizon. The pastel light, soft textures, and silence made this a moment I won’t forget.
#OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad #whitesands #desertscape #newmexico

The same dunes, just hours apart—proof that light changes everything. Check my last post to see this spot earlier in the day. Now? It’s glowing, alive, and full of mood. That golden hour magic never gets old.

Even in the harshest desert, life thrives. 🌵 These resilient plants at White Sands dig deep and stand tall against wind, heat, and shifting dunes. Nature's quiet strength is always inspiring.
📍 White Sands, NM
#OTGLIFE #canonusa #onxoffroad #WhiteSands

Evening light brushed across the dunes at White Sands, casting soft pastel tones against the hazy San Andres Mountains. A quiet moment that felt otherworldly.

A lone yucca holding its ground in a sea of white sand and silence. White Sands always reminds me—there’s power in simplicity.

Pastel skies over rippled dunes—White Sands served up pure magic at sunset. The quiet, the color, the texture… unreal. Felt like I was walking through a dream.
