Saturday morning hike in the desert. Wait until the end to see the Turkey Vultures fly in circles to save energy, ride warm air currents (called thermals), and search for food.

This is one of the reasons that I love hiking. I can find places and beautiful landscapes that some people never see. If you can, get out there and explore. 🥾

Post-Thanksgiving visit to Valley of Fire State Park 🔥 #teampixel #giftfromgoogle @googlepixel_us

I arrived extra early for a clear view without any cars! Shot on my Pixel 7 Pro and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Thanks to @jasminealley for all the photo recommendations on her blog! View of Mouse Tank Road in Valley of Fire State Park in Overton, Nevada.

Exploring the unique landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park is an unforgettable experience. From rocky hills and canyons to the iconic Joshua Trees, there is something for everyone. I'm so grateful that I live within minutes of the park!

Take some time this weekend to get outside and enjoy the beauty of nature - whether it's in @joshuatreenps or somewhere close to you. Have a great weekend!

There's something special about the stillness of a winter morning and hiking at High View Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park. The sun feels good and warm - and the colors of the desert are just breathtaking. #JoshuaTree #HighViewNatureTrail

I visited Valley of Fire back in November and I had to check out this slot canyon (Kaolin Wash). I was lucky enough that not too many people were around at this time - and I was hoping to get a photo. So, I set my Pixel 7 Pro up on a ledge of the rock and I used my Google Pixel Watch to take a photo of myself walking through. #teampixel #googlepixelwatch #giftfromgoogle @googlepixel_us
