‘Solemn is
the expanse of canopy
A boundless cathedral
Funneling rays into this past I could not have known
I leave memories
Shimmering
Pristine’

I miss the clarity that hiking gave me.

Hiking to Piz Lat, Südtirol, Italy/Austria/Switzerland.

can this be my life, please?

I am so excited to do some hiking in Germany. Two more months seems like an eternity.

This turned out to be the coldest night I’ve ever spent. Space blanket, jacket, poncho, long johns, gloves. I listened to Tallest Man, Ryan Adams, Bon Iver, then my iPod died and I was alone.

I’m sorry I always post hammock action shots.

The Hanging Tree

Today was a glorious day of hiking and Chipotle eating. Got to do a nice 10mi trail and even tested out the new hammock (good friend Andrew is pictured). The best part is that when I woke up I thought this day was slated for disaster, and it ended up working out perfectly.

Hey hey, Sunday.
