Autumnal goodness throughout Utah 🍂

One of the most magical moments in Utah just so happens to take place between late September/early October. We went up Kyhv Peak to be surrounded by some vibrant reds and oranges, and the peaks with more splashes of autumnal colors made for a scene right out of a painting✨

Golden fall views in Utah 🍂

Peak foliage in the Utah mountains is just unparalleled. With a sea of aspens not far from Salt Lake, views like this is hard to beat!

Skittles season is upon us 🌈

My favorite time of year is when the air starts to get cooler and the leaves on trees go from green to a mix of red, yellow, and orange which instantly makes me think as if these trees are growing skittles 😆

Whether you’re chasing colors in Utah or over in the east coast, I definitely think there’s something truly special about these colors while they last ✨

Happy first day of fall, everybody 🍂

Postcards from Albania 🇦🇱

We spent two weeks going around this gorgeous country, and it has been holding a special place in my heart. Whether it be the quiet mountain towns, wonderful nature, historical castles, clean beaches, or the vibey streets, it’s got a little bit of everything ✨

Would you want to visit Albania?

Oh hey there! It’s been a while since I last posted on here, but I thought I should share about our public lands being at risk, which has been on my mind over the past few days.

As many of you know by now, Utah Senator Mike Lee has proposed a bill which would allow the US government to sell off over 3 million acres of public land in Utah and several other states in the western US. Although we have some parcels of land here in Utah protected by the NPS and the NWPS, none of the spots in the pictures above have any sort of protection whatsoever. Should the bill pass and these beautiful lands are sold, we will lose access to them for good. That being said, we have to do everything we can to help protect these lands from destruction.

The good news in the meantime though, is that the recent calls and letters have supposedly been reaching our senators, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods just yet; we need to continue to bring the heat onto them, even if it means posting about this pending sale on your social media profiles every day or continuously blowing up your senators’ phone lines.

But the message is clear; we have to demand the removal of the public lands language from this bill, because these lands are for us and not for the rich and to fuel corporate greed.

I have a link in my bio that’ll let you contact our senators, so now is a crucial time to let them know you are strongly against this sell-off!

Lastly, for @senmikelee: in the rare case you ever come across this post, just know you are a little weenie for trying to sell off the land meant to be enjoyed by the general public. taken in Utah by @hirokagei

Zion is beautiful this time of year 🍂

Just when I thought my quest to chase fall colors was over for the year, little did I know I would come across some yellows lined up along the river in Zion, let alone see any foliage in November. Truly a sight that’ll forever live rent free in my mind ✨

Have you ever seen fall colors down in Zion?

Squared away 🔲

I kicked off my Bali adventures this summer with a quick layover in Hong Kong, and definitely felt like I haven’t explored the city enough. While I only got to check out this famous apartment complex this time, here’s to hoping I get to spend more than 15 hours the next time I’m back here ✨

Have you ever been to Hong Kong?

Seminyak Sunset 🌅

Safe to say one of the highlights of this summer was experiencing the magic of Balinese sunsets.

When @breewoolard and I arrived at this beach, we were just hoping to catch a few shots as the sun dipped below the horizon. Little did we know we’d be treated to the perfect combination of soft light and stunning reflections, creating an unforgettable moment. As a guy who’s a sucker for reflections, I was beyond excited as the waves retreated and left behind a mirror-like surface which made for the perfect setup for these shots 🙌🏻

Have you gotten the chance to see sunsets in Bali before?

Which one’s your favorite? [1-5]
