First off, Happy New Year everyone!
2017 was a year full of adventure and new things. I developed a love for mountain biking, went on a 20+ day road trip with my love, kayaked with my dogs in Lake Tahoe, hiked numerous national parks... It is impossible to capture and document all of the wonderful, beautiful moments of 2017, but I was able to narrow down my favorite panoramas of the year:
Picture one: Red Rock Canyon, NV
In late march, friends and I scrambled up the red rocks of this beautiful desert canyon. To read more about Red Rock Canyon hikes and climbs, read my earlier post Desert Beauty.
Picture two: Moraine Lake, Canada
My fiance and I went on a 20+ day road trip full of camping, biking, and hiking through the western states and Canada. One of my favorite views of the trip was the breathtaking Moraine Lake. Explore more of this beautiful lake and our amazing road trip in my earlier post.
Picture three: Mountain Biking in the Foothills
Both the photo above, and the panorama were taken in the foothills near my home where I often find myself mountain biking up the hills with my family, friends, or dog. I found a new favorite activity this year, and I cannot wait to hit the trails this spring harder than ever! Read more about mountain biking here.
Picture four: Yellowstone National Park, WY/MT/ID
The panorama is a picture of the largest hot spring in the United States, the Grand Prismatic. It is located in Yellowstone National Park along with hundreds of other natural attractions and wildlife to be seen.
Picture five: Glacier National Park, MT
The last picture is from one of my favorite spots I've explored in 2017. From the crystal clear glacier waters, to the mountainous valleys, I hope to find myself in Glacier National Park again in 2018. Learn more about my time in Glacier here.

As always,
along for more adventures!
