Took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather along the West Coast and earlier this week made a very last-minute trip to visit my 53rd and 54th national parks.

I had an absolutely glorious day in @ncascadesnps from wandering the shoreline of Diablo Lake to an afternoon hike to Rainy Lake and getting it to myself.

I also have a new favorite fall hobby called “larching.” The golden Alpine Larches are beautiful.

There’s more to the Okavango Delta than incredible wildlife.

While staying @naturalselectiontravel Elephant Pan Camp, we traded a morning game drive for time in Khwai Village. It became one of my favorite mornings in Botswana.

We met some very enthusiastic little learners at the solar-powered Maria Ramsden Learning Center, supported by @naturalselection_foundation.

Then it was on to Mmogo Crafts to meet the women creating beautiful jewelry and intricately woven baskets, some taking weeks to make.

Our final stop took us inside a traditional mud hut to sit with a local healer.

The elephants, lions, and hippos may bring you to the Okavango. Experiences like this connect you to the people who call it home.

If you stay at Natural Selection’s Elephant Pan Camp, make time to go beyond the game drive and spend a morning in Khwai Village. 🇧🇼

THIS is a sundowner in the Okavango Delta. 🤯🌅

Forget the safari vehicle for an evening. We’re cruising through one of the most stunning landscapes on the planet as baboons, storks, hippos, elephants and crocodiles appear along the way.

Golden light. Wildlife everywhere. Water glowing beneath us. That enormous Okavango sky turning spectacular shades of sunset as we race across the Delta.

It was wild. It was stunning. It was pure safari magic.

Want to experience an Okavango safari like this? Stay @naturalselectiontravel North Island Camp and do not miss the sunset cruise.

Botswana, you are something else. 🌅🐘🦛🐊

A honey badger MOM and BABY?! 🤯

Honey badgers are notoriously elusive, so spotting one in the wild is a safari win. Seeing a momma and her baby together? At sunset?! This was next-level safari luck.

Watched this incredibly rare moment unfold near @naturalselectiontravel North Island Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

Just when I thought this safari couldn’t possibly top itself…wow!

This is one safari sighting you don’t expect to get.

HYENA CUBS! 🐾

While staying @naturalselection Elephant Camp, we headed out with rangers and a hyena researcher with @naturalselection_foundation and got an incredibly rare peek at these little ones.

One is estimated to be two months, one is three months, and two likely four months. We saw 4 spotted hyena cubs!

I’ve been on safaris in seven countries and this was a first for me.

And yes, hyena pups are ridiculously cute.

Arrived at Elephant Pan just in time for happy hour, or as they say here - sundowner. So did the elephants. 🐘🐘🐘

Talk about a welcoming committee. Within minutes of arriving at this @naturalselection lodge in Botswana’s Khwai Private Reserve, this was the scene by the pool.

Best happy hour crowd I’ve ever joined. Ellies drink first! 🐘🍹

GO NOW if Breckenridge fall color is on your list. 🍂

I’ve chased aspens across @visitcolorado for years, and @gobreck tops my list for leaf peeping. These are some of my favorite spots: Boreas Pass, Aspen Alley and Hiker’s Gold in French Gulch.

The gold is gorgeous, but leaves are already dropping. This show doesn’t last long.

Save this and go chase some gold.

The gold is gorgeous right now in @gobreck, but don’t put this leaf-peeping road trip off. Color came early this year, and with leaves already dropping fast, this show is a short one.

I chased the gold along Boreas Pass, hikingAspen Alley Trail and in French Gulch, and soaked in the killer view @lodgeatbreck

Take it from this meteorologist and veteran leaf peeper: GO. NOW. 🍁

Fall colors are already fading fast in Colorado. With the drought, aspens are going from green to brown, not as vivid, and leaves are dropping fast. 😢🍂

Went for a hike on Guanella Pass to find some golden aspens. Found plenty, but also found a tree teepee, beavers’ handiwork, and a booty tree. 😂

Visited 14 @nationalparkservice sites in and near Boston the past 4 days. One of my favorites is @capecodnps where I pretty much had Nauset Beach to myself. I’ve now been to 318 of the 433 sites - 115 to go!

One night at Keystone’s newest luxury escape. ✨ From a golden-hour gondola ride and an incredible omakase dinner at Kinji to watching a lunar eclipse from my balcony, @kindred.resort packed plenty of mountain magic into 24 hours. Add in a sunrise walk, breakfast at Lula’s, and pool time with a view, and I’m already ready to return to @keystoneresort.

How many @nationalparkservice sites can I visit in

How many @nationalparkservice sites can I visit in a day?

New York Edition

This got me to my 298th NPS site!

STOP 1: Home of FDR National Historic Site

STOP 2: Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site

Gilded Age grandeur and only Vanderbilt property managed by National Park Service. Also in Hyde Park.

STOP 3: Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site

Enjoyed “Eleanor’s Walk” - the peaceful walk she did daily at Val-Kill. Also in Hyde Park.

STOP 4: Thomas Cole National Historic Site (affiliated)

Where American landscape art took shape in Catskill.

STOP 5: Martin Van Buren National Historic Site

What if the thing that “ruined” your day, was actually the gift?

That’s exactly what happened to me. Grief doesn’t disappear. It changes.

This year, missed timing, road delays, and unexpected pivots led me to a place I hadn’t planned to linger. That’s where I found the joy.

Standing at Devils Postpile, I didn’t just see columns of lava. I saw organ pipes, and thought of my mom playing the piano. ❤️🎹🎶

Healing isn’t about perfect days. It’s about finding joy in the hiccups.

Where have life’s hiccups led you somewhere better?

Scenes from Sequoia - has a great time exploring @sequoiakingsnps. Sequoia was my 51st national park in quest to visit all 433 units of @nationalparkservice.

Stops included: Tunnel Rock, Hospital Rock Pictographs, climbed Moro Rock, General Sherman Tree (large by volume tree on earth), and hiked Congress Trail

Such a fun adventure in the towering trees!

Some days on the calendar are harder than others.

Some days on the calendar are harder than others.

16 years ago, I lost my dad on July 29, 2010. Today I’m choosing to celebrate him.

Travel and the outdoors became part of my healing journey, reminding me to keep moving forward and embrace every moment, especially after losing my mom 7 years ago tomorrow on July 30, 2019.

Today, I’m celebrating my dad in Sequoia National Park, my 51st national park. He loved road trips, history, and seeing as much of America as he could.

Grief is a never ending journey, and celebration is part of it. We grieve because we loved.

How do you celebrate the people you love who are no longer here?

Hiked from base to summit on Mt. Crested Butte wit

Hiked from base to summit on Mt. Crested Butte with @living_journeys, a non-profit helping those with cancer and their families in Gunnison County. Loved every step (and scramble) of this hike yesterday.

I hiked in memory of my mom, other family members, and a dear friend’s spouse who recently lost his battle. I also hiked in honor of friends fighting and surviving.

Last time I stood on this summit was 13 years ago. The route I took - base to summit back to Silver Queen Lift - was about 6.5 miles with elevation gain over 2,800’. It was a great event!

This is life. 💙🏔️

Fresh mountain air. Alpine lakes. Miles of trail. Wildflower wonderment.

Not the emails. Not the deadlines. Just this. I like this.

POV: You hit pause. Not because you’re tired…because this is why you came.

Sometimes the trail asks you to slow down and simply reflect.

When your head is in the clouds, it’s exactly where it should be.

These are the moments I hike for. The ones where the only things on my to-do list are to breathe, dream a little, and be grateful for the beauty around me.

Enjoy the journey, not just the summit. 💙🏔️

Thanks @fatmanlittletrail for capturing this epic pause moment during our hike.
