i’m a midwest transplant who landed in the beautiful sonoran desert of phoenix, arizona in 2014, and never left! after discovering the mountains that year, my life changed. since 2019, i’ve made the goal to hike at least once per week + to date have logged more than 400 hikes in total.

i’m here to inspire your next trip and give you all the tips and tricks you need to have the best time. i have become an expert in all things arizona from sedona to the grand canyon to all the underrated secrets that i can’t wait to teach you.

Check Out My Guides!!

I’ve now created 5 guides (some paid, some free) to help elevate your outdoor experience!

Each guide is in the form of a PDF, so you can keep it forever! I’ve spent weeks on these products perfecting them to be helpful to you. I tried stepping into your shoes and imagining what I think would be helpful, if I was new to the area, new to the outdoors, or just wanting to learn local secrets!
