Steak and butter - eating like kings and queens.

Minnesota Fire road boon docking.

Sunrise, pre-run, post coffee.

Thick fog, cold creek shower.

Our first National Park: The Badlands SD.

The Badlands had the most amazing wildlife spotting of the trip! We highly recommend visiting!

Bison spotting. The first of many.

First sunset at the Badlands. These sunflowers were growing everywhere.

Morning hike, avoiding the mosquitos.

The most vibrant sunsets and sunrises.

Kenny wears the camera.

Beautiful lava deposits.

Kenny art directing yoga shoots along the way!

Biking 30 miles in 105F. Oops!

A five mile hike midday because we are crazy. Post dehydration, pre-re-hydrating at the local watering hole.

Goodnight and goodbye Badlands!

An easy day in Custer State Park!

Took the opportunity to swim aka take a lake bath.

Our perfect campsite. Until two other couples showed up :)

Starting to match often.

Our first campsite just outside of Yellowstone National Park. The views were unbeatable.

Kenny builds the tent, I make the steaks.

Two very tired and crazy kids. One of us had nightmares about bears for the entirety of the Yellowstone stay.

Only posting one steamy, muddy, pit.

The definition of a happy camper :)

Watching the Yellowstone sunset, drinking wine, and growing more in love everyday.

Yellowstone Lake.

On a day loop to Lake Shoshone.

Kenny enticing me in!

Drying off on hot rocks.

Kenny Simmons: master of tinder and fire building extraordinaire.

Our most beloved camp dish: bacon rice.

Hello Grand Tetons!

20 mile hike - Kenny is inspiring!

Snow at the top - a bit scary, but we're alive!

The view is worth it!

On the top of the world, yet only halfway done... hmm...

Taking a break to smell the wildflowers. And to dig cat holes.

On our way down - pre-rewarding ourselves with a carnivorous dinner for two!

Olympic National Park. We camped in a cloud.

A hike through it all.

We can't see anything, but at least we can see each other.

Predicting a soggy weekend.

The cloud cover cleared in the morning. What a view!

To the coastline.

Another wet and misty day.

A couple of goonies!

The rainforest border. Spectacular.

Driving back to the middle of the park to camp in the rainforest. Fun fact: it is still raining! We are still wet!

Spot the goobers.

Kenny directing another yoga shoot. He is the best.

Dry land! California! Wine country! Yes please!

A feast, wine, and fun at the ranch.

The night Kenny proposed. Big Sur, CA.

Waiting for the porpoises.

Wearing a poker face!

Spending the morning in Big Sur, avoiding poison oak in spades.

Much braver than I.

The ring!

Had to include the most perfect bolognese Nick Goffi made us!

Hello Joshua Tree!

We invested in hats at REI. Or did they invest in us?

Doing a rare thing - hiking in JT.

Views for days. Hot for days.

Posing next to the Chollo garden.

On a secret ranger-led hike. Spot Kenny!

Goodnight Joshua Tree!

Last morning hike in JT.

Sedona had the most magical colors we had ever seen.

Is that even real?

Cheese and hat hair.

Spot us!

Sunset at sedona after dreaded food poisoning.

We paid $3 to see this sunset, but it was worth it.

Mid-Grand Canyon bike ride!

One of my favorite places.

Kenny splits the wood...

and I make the food!

Grand Canyon fire road boon docking.

Woke up bright and early to venture down on the Bright Angel trail.

Down is optional. Up is mandatory.

We made it!

Last National Park stop: Arches. It was real windy.

Hanging on tight.

The most beautiful sunset of the entire trip.

Our last night of camping. Finishing our two buck chuck.

There's an arch! A quick tour before we begin our drive to Frisco!

Still not sick of each other!
