The Grand Canyon is just one of those places that has left its mark on us. The splashes of pink shining off the rocks at sunset, the Colorado river that twists throughout the rocks thousands of feet below, the vast nothingness spread out before our...
There’s no denying it. The Upper Antelope Slot Canyons are a spellbinding place. Light beams shine down from above like a bright spotlight. Smooth curves twist and turn, creating paths of mesmerizing, swirling rock. Shadows play tricks on your mind by showing you a dragon’s eye...
We've visited Arizona several times over the past couple of years--three of those times happened to be within the last year while working on a video project. During our visits, we have had some amazing adventures throughout the state, and some of our favorites were...
The last time we were in Sedona, I had no interest in the numerous jeep tours that were offered. It seemed everywhere we turned, there was another jeep tour company in our faces. So, on our recent visit while on a filming project, I was...
I was expecting to feel some sort of launch or weightlessness, but instead, we could not even tell that we had left the ground. Before we knew it, we were floating hundreds of feet above ground and rising. It was our first hot air balloon experience,...

Walking up towards the mound, I was expecting to feel a rush of energy, or a burst of joyfulness. Instead, what I found was a little less exciting: calmness. There was a sense of peace and stillness that I absorbed while starring out towards the...
Starting off shortly after sunrise was one of the best decisions we could have made; not only because it was a break from the afternoon sun, but because it provided us with the solitude of nature that we were desperately craving. We were fortunate to...
After the quietness of the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Arizona, was a tad overwhelming, but the beauty of the Red Rocks and the Coconino National Forest quickly made up for the rush in town. Sure, basically everything in Sedona was closed by 9pm, but after our...
As I mentioned before, there were many good things and a couple bummer aspects about visiting the Grand Canyon in the winter. Unfortunately, through fault of our own, we weren't able to hike into the canyon due to the icy conditions. There are several spots...
