canyoneering.

my dad is kind of your go to guy on anything having to do with camping, hiking, canyoneering, climbing...etc. a lot of people don't know what canyoneering is, basically it's a mix of climbing, hiking, and camping. so great right?! anyway, i've gone on a good number of canyoneering trips with my dad (mostly to Zions) and i never really appreciated how awesome it is until this last trip to Death Valley. canyoneering really is so fun. not a lot of people get to experience being deep inside a canyon full of water and beautiful sights, those are places not a lot of eyes get to see. i really wish i could explain some of the places and moments i've seen and had inside those pretty canyons. the pictures above don't give the scenery justice at all, the colors are all wrong. i'm so glad i grew up in a family who appreciates the outdoors, i'd be a completely different person if i didn't have that. it has my heart!

we usually go canyoneering with people that my dad has met over the years. some live in Utah, some in other states, and some are traveling the world as we speak. the best part of spending a few days at a time with these people is they are full of stories. it is so fun just listening to them talk about all the places they've been and the memories they've made.

i hope i can be like that someday.
