I have been looking at pictures from my first roadtrip with my brother Alex. Its amazing how much things have changed since then, and how much that trip sparked everything off. It was a major turning point in both of our lives, our goals, plans, and whole way of life have had a big change since then. Alex is one kick-ass co-pilot, and an awesome person to go adventure with. We are an awesome team, we each bring different things to the table. I can’t believe how many awesome places we have camped, the crazy mountain roads we have driven, the mountains we have climbed, the music festivals we have gone to, the shenanigans we have gotten up too. What an adventure man, I can’t wait for our next one! Heres some pictures of him in some of the coolest of places.

Taylor Canyon in Canyonlands, Utah. On our first roadtrip me and Alex hiked into the canyon on the alcove trail, 1300ft down to the bottom of the canyon, and about 6 or 7 miles to the spot we camped, near the pointy rocks they call “Moses and Zeus”. We were the only people hiking or camping in the canyon that night. We found an awesome overhang on the wash that provided some excellent shade to camp under. This was one of our first crazy adventures, definitely one of the most extreme hikes we have done. Our water jug cracked and started leaking on our second day in, so we had to leave a day early to make sure we had water for the very long hike out, It was a close one! It was so worth the hike, it was by far one of the coolest places I’ve ever slept. It’s a very weird feeling knowing that you are completely alone in a giant canyon, and knowing it would take days, or weeks, for anyone to come find you. This trip with my brother is what started the life I am living now, it started my life of exploring and adventures.

Fishers towers is one of my absolute favourite places. I’ve been back on three different roadtrips, and will be back on many more. It is a quick and gorgeous drive on the 128 from Moab, Utah. You can explore endlessly, climb, and hike everywhere. The colorado river is just on the other side of Professor Valley, and there are lots of good, cheap campgrounds, (Hal Canyon has an awesome rope swing over the river!) or you can camp right at the towers. I cant wait to go back when i have time to spent a couple weeks exploring the whole place and really soak it in. :)
