Stories from the Trails, Roads, Canyons & Camps That Shaped Us
Since 2018, our adventures have taken us from quiet Colorado trails and red rock canyons to scenic campsites, rugged backroads, alpine lakes, and wild places that keep calling us back.
This page gathers our adventure stories in one place — the hikes, camping trips, canyoneering routes, overlanding journeys, snow-covered escapes, and memorable moments that have become part of our story together.
Some adventures are big and bold. Others are simple days outside with good views, dusty boots, and a reminder of why we wander in the first place.
