The Arizona skies have been unreal the past few days, amiright?! 🔥💥 I have made the drive to Canyon Lake soooo many times, but I always have made a beeline to get to it (or the trails/spots I know), but there is a whole world of exploration along the way.

When life gives you traffic, hang a right and head to Papago!! 😶 I was on my way to the Camel 🐫to round out a project I’ve been working on, but traffic decided it didn’t want me to get there. 🚗🚙🚐🚜 So I cranked it over to Papago and skizzled my way up to the nearest,highest point and 💥booyaka 💥, the sky delivered, and all was well in the world. 🧘🏻‍♂️the end . . . 🤔 The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it. . . . #neverstopexploring #ig_arizona #instagramaz #happypeoplehike #takemebackpacking #backpacking #hiking #arizona #superstitionmountains #dowhatyoulove #creative #theoutbound #explorepage #clouds #headintheclouds #arizona_landscapes #naturalarizona #arizonaisgorgeous #arizonahikersguide #lifeisgoodarizona #myphx #arizonahiking #visitarizona #letskeepitwild #igsouthwest #see_arizona #LetsSeeAZ #arizonacollective #goatworthy #optoutside (at Papago Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUn6Hzlvyz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x3zqq09ewdb4

It’s been amAZing to be home in AZ after spending so I have time on the road last year. Thanks to all who forgot to forget about me👌. I’m not even sure what the means🤷🏻‍♂️.whatever, dude. Either way, these skies have been super gnar gnar, bang bang the past few nights.

I’ve been chasing clouds for the last few weeks on a collaboration project with @kaminskiphotography. Sometimes the sky places nice, but not always - and you only find out once your on the mountain with all of your gear. Buuuuut, that’s the life of a photographer. 🤷🏻‍♂️The AZ skies came to play today, though! Stay tuned for the timelapse 👌👌 . . . 🤔 If you seek peace, be still. If you seek wisdom, be silent.

It’s been years l since I’ve gone snowboarding. No idea why I let it get away. I used to live for it, but that changed once I moved to AZ. It got replaced by rock climbing and mountain biking. But why have I been limiting myself?? What was I thinking??!! Come on, man - Make room for all the adventures!! Miss it. Love it. This phase is called figuring out what you deserve, and getting after it. I need to beef up my AZ snowboarding crew! Who’s in??!!

Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being.
