A little short film from our Colorado + Northern New Mexico summer 🤍

We’re pretty lucky to call this corner of the world home—and even luckier to spend our days wandering around it.

We climbed and camped in all these beautiful areas - Boulder Canyon (CO), Shelf Road (CO), Penitente (CO), The Promised Land (CO), Clear Creek Canyon (CO), Tres Piedres (NM), El Rito (NM), and Comales Canyon (NM)

We also made our way through Eldorado State Park (CO) + Rocky Mountain National Park (CO). And got to spend some time with @jseiv13 and his family 🤍

Grateful for a strong, capable body, wild places to explore, and a little family to share the adventures with. Here’s to many more miles, climbs, and stories.

🖤🖤🖤

As Desertfest 2026 comes to a close, our hearts are so full ❤️

Chris and I want to say THANK YOU to every single person who traveled near and far, showed up with open minds, positive energy, and helped make this year’s event so incredibly special.

Desertfest has always been about more than just learning; it’s about bringing together an amazing community of people who share a passion for growth, adventure, and connection. Watching friendships form, seeing familiar faces reunite, and meeting so many new people from all over the world is what makes this event so meaningful to us.

We hope you leave with new knowledge, unforgettable memories, stronger connections, and stories you’ll be talking about for years to come. The energy, kindness, and enthusiasm you all brought this weekend created something truly unforgettable, and we are beyond grateful for every one of you.

Thank you for trusting us, supporting this vision, and helping make Year 4 our biggest and most exciting Desertfest yet. None of this would be possible without this incredible community.

And the adventure isn’t over…

Desertfest 2027 dates will be announced on June 15th, and for our FIFTH YEAR, we’re going CAMPING in Southern Arizona - festival style! 🏕️

We cannot wait to share what’s next and create even more memories together.

Until next year, thank you for being part of the Desertfest family. We appreciate you more than words can express. taken in Las Cruces, New Mexico by @cethridge9

Climbing mountains on our days off—because normal weekends are overrated.

Took on our first 600ft multi-pitch wall and earned every inch on it. Tough, humbling, and absolutely worth it.

Happiest Birthday to my beautiful wife! Can’t believe we’re both 30 now 😬 That’s okay because it feels like we’re finally learning our place in this world.

The bond we share grows stronger everyday and I hope we never stop writing our story! Creating memories with you and exploring the possibilities of life is my favorite hobby.

I love you forever, never forget 🤍 taken in Las Cruces, New Mexico by @cethridge9
