hey guys!

i touched a fish in idaho this summer. don't worry though, i wasn't even remotely cool about it. my squeal was probably heard a mile upstream :)

personal update:

I went to Mars and it was awesome.

My echo, my shadow and me.

Everything is copacetic.

Note to self: running around (jumping and dancing) on a frozen lake rarely ends well. 

camping with your besties be like:

These photos are like magic-feel-good-happy vibes that go straight to my heart and every time I look at them, I can't help but grin ear to ear. In case it's not obvious, here is some explanation: only true friends can have so much fun being outrageously silly together that they become completely oblivious to the outside world (including fellow hikers). 

CHEERS TO SISTERHOOD IN THE WILD. 

salty dawgs

driving out to the salt flats to ride bikes and take photos and catch the sunset is always a good idea. having friends who like taking photos and are always in the pursuit of rad moments is an even better idea.

I am so very lucky to have the opportunity to spend time with, listen to and know Hassan and other kids just like him.

flannels and desert air.

Packed up Winnie and headed south to Capital Reef a bit ago to canyoneer Cassidy Arch and sleep  outside. It was so, so, so, so, so good. 

Welcome to America

It's a good life when you get to spend all day with salt-of-the-earth- hearts-as-big-as-the-great-salt-lake people. K. is one of those kids. I took a bunch of photos last week of him and printed them out for him and his mom to keep. I hoped that they would like them, maybe flip through them and smile, but when I brought them over to his house today, it was a whole different story. K. and his mom looked at each individual photo, laid it out on the floor until his carpet was covered in photos. K. looked at me and said, "Kylie, you know what this says? Welcome to America."
