Did you know this month is the National Park Service Centennial? On August 25th, the National Park Service turns 100 and is commemorating the occasion with the Find Your Park movement, which encourages visitors to explore the country’s 407 national parks.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see.

There is no feeling in the world like hearing a mama grizzly bear grunt at you from less than 30 feet away. The size, strength, and love was amazing to see in this mama bear and her 2 cubs when we went backcountry camping in @denalinps last month! #goEast #denali #alaska #bear #strong #strength #hiking #camping #nature #adventure

Sometimes I look back through the pictures I have taken over the past few years and am amazed at the memories I have created and the people I have met . I remember taking this picture on my first day of the High Sierra trail like it was yesterday. I remember smiling from ear to ear all due to the awe that had over taken me due the incredibly beautiful surroundings . Life is to short to grind away and put your dreams on the back burner . Chase your dreams and follow your gut but still find time to put in you in your work.
