Plan your trips with a 2025 Scenic Calendar!


Happy Holidays!

One of my favorite traditions is making my scenic calendar. Since 2018, I've compiled my adventures into an annual calendar highlighting stunning locations across the country and beyond. This year is no different - and I actually think it's one of the best calendars I've produced.

If you're looking to give a great gift or need a calendar to help plan your trips and get inspired, I would be honored if you chose mine.

If you plan to give it as a gift, Wednesday, December 18th is the hard cut-off, as I'm unsure how quickly mail will arrive after that. Please note this on the Google form, as I'll be prioritizing those.

I always love an adventurous lifestyle, but I'm also exhausted, and it's nice to settle into a quieter, darker time of year. There are a lot of new people here. Welcome! Welcome! This one's a little longer than usual, but I hope you enjoy it....

Happy Friday! I hope you have had a lovely week and have fun plans this weekend. We're heading into the mountains to explore a new part of Colorado. Fall colors are JUST beginning to show up in the mountains, and while this isn't a fall adventure weekend, I'm sure we'll see some golden aspen. If you're a Colorado reader, use this to help plan your Colorado fall trips.

Happy Friday! I have two exciting treats for those who enjoy wild animals and travel! I've been hard at work with a couple of new YouTube videos. The first is from my Rwandan safari last September that I put off. I finally hunkered down and got it published a couple of days ago. It's a fun two-day recap. Then, today, I just released 11 minutes of highlights from Alaska with brown bears. It's some of the best footage I've shot, and I'm super stoked with how it turned out. I'd love for you to...
