We are looking forward to summer and setting out o We are looking forward to summer and setting out on a couple of road trips again! We've had a goal for some time to visit all 63 of the USA's national parks. So far, we've made it to 20 of the parks, and we are hoping to visit more this summer. 

These photos were taken during a winter hike through the Narrows at Zion National Park. This was one of our favorite hikes in the park--it was so crazy to wade through the water between towering cliffs. The views were absolutely fantastic and it was quite the workout! 

Throughout the next month, we are going to share more photos from some of our past national park visits. Which national parks are your favorites?! ⛰️ 🌳 💫
We went on a walk the other night and spotted the We went on a walk the other night and spotted the northern lights while we were out! So, of course we had to grab the camera and head down to the lake to watch the show. 😍 Minnesota is surprisingly a great spot to catch the northern lights, but we’ve only spotted them here a few times. We never seem to head outside and look for them, so I think we have to make it more of a priority going forward—the aurora is so fun to watch!
When we are back in our hometown, we regularly dri When we are back in our hometown, we regularly drive by this tree growing out of an old grain. We never really stop to give it a look, but Micah decided to stop and photograph it this winter and it’s so fun to notice all the details of this strange tree!
In the winter, in addition to walking along the bo In the winter, in addition to walking along the boardwalks at Mammoth Hot Springs, visitors can also cross country ski or snowshoe the Upper Terrace Loop Ski Trail. The trail is 1.5 miles long and is regularly groomed. We wanted to snowshoe the loop trail, but unfortunately, we ran out of time. However, we did manage to walk around the Upper and Lower Terrace boardwalks to explore. As we wandered along the boardwalks, we caught a fantastic sunset from the upper terraces. The sky turned cotton candy pink and was reflected on the surface of the hot springs. What a sight!
