So I realise I’m not the only person whose visited this popular spot, but this is my own little attempt at using a new wide angle lens. I dedicate this picture to the guy who showed up, tripod in hand, late to last nights sunset, before angrily insisting that people move various bodily parts out of his shot. Nice one mate - you know who you are! #horseshoebend #nofiltersneeded
Dawn brings the promise of a brand new day. Now for coffee. #sunrise #grandcanyon #northrimgrandcanyon
We got lucky and secured 2 of only 10 daily permits for South Coyote Buttes, planned our entire trip around this very day, woke up before the sun, before our luck turned and a tyre blew out a mile from the trailhead! While we didn’t make it to the Cottonwood area as a result, I guess that’s just the way life goes sometimes. Happy we decided to hike 2 miles up a sand road to reach these views which we had to ourselves before the perilous drive back down 16 miles of rough 4x4 track on a tiny spare wheel! A day to remember... #coyotebuttes
Into the void and liquid quicksand. Goodbye pedicure, hello Utah! #buckskingulch
Mad scramble over the giant pinnacles that form Wales’ Castell y Gwynt (‘Castle of the Winds’). The views into valleys on either side are stunning, and even better: it wasn’t raining! Read all about our slowest hike yet on my blog, then check out the weather forecast and #visitwales #fairweatherhiker #snowdonianationalpark #newblogpost #glyderfach #wanderwales
Got to hand it to the Queen - she has one hell of a gardener! #buckinghampalaceinbloom
Happy [US] National Park week everyone! The National Park system is without doubt the jewel in America’s crown. It’s diverse vastness makes me wish I had been born an American. I was trying to work out my favourite park so far but it’s literally impossible. Leading the memories of greatest adventures [in no particular order] are: Yellowstone; Crater Lake; Bryce Canyon; Acadia; Olympic. Whilst topping the list of those waiting to be explored are: Denali, Joshua Tree and Glacier. What’s your favourite park? #nofiltersneeded #brycecanyon #nationalparks #alifetowander #newblogpost #hikingadventures #exploremore #thegreatoutdoors #neverstopexploring #alifetowander #welivetoexplore #roamtheplanet #adventureseeker #lifeofadventure #themountainsarecalling #peoplewhohike #optoutside #getoutside #getoutdoors
Descending Bwlch Tryfan to a hidden lake and tumbling falls. Wales really took my breath away. Sometimes the random, unexpected trips are the ones that steal our ❤️
