Happy Earth Day! I thought I would share a few photos of the immense natural beauty we found in and around the Ozarks. Diving into areas like these increases our desire to be good stewards over this vast planet we call home. 🌏 Though the task of reducing our impact on the planet is monumental, I believe there is power in the collective efforts of many doing small and simple things on a daily basis. The more respect and protection we offer the planet the greater our love for it grows! 🌏 I had fun sharing some simple ideas over on the Teton Sports Adventure Blog about giving back to the planet this Earth Day! Check it out at the link in our bio! 🌏 #thewayfarerjourneys #earthday2020 #tetonsports #visitarkansas #visitmissouri #missouriadventure #ozarkmountains #ozarknationalforest
Cozy, springtime evenings with our beloved Waldo, the Adventure Pup!😍 The cool air and new life springing up all around feel so refreshing after a day spent cooped up inside! 🌷
Dreaming of lazy, hazy desert mornings. 🥰
Though the current global situation may be at times quite unnerving, I think there is something to be said for sending out positive energy into the world. Set some goals, dream of future travels and face the day with optimism. 🏕 One of our recent optimistic projects included taking stock of all our camping/ backpacking/ canoeing gear and getting it in ship shape for future adventures. 🏕 If, while prepping for your upcoming adventures, you find you're in need of a great, affordable sleeping bag check out my post about the Celsius XXL sleeping bag over on the @tetonsports adventure blog!

What are your weekend plans? We're hoping to soak up some more calming sunsets with heavenly views like this! 🌵 To keep it simple, grab some takeout from your favorite spot, pile the car with cozy blankets/ sleeping bags and head out somewhere where the crowds are none and the views are inspiring. 🌵 #tetonsports #thewayfarerjourneys #exploreutah #utahisrad #utahgram #naturalutah #utahunique
With all the changes going on in the world at present, Jason and I have found ourselves yearning to get out in nature more than ever. Every day that takes us in nature is one which ends with less fear, frustration or stress. 💚 Ever constant, time spent in nature always provides a soothing relief from the cares of the world. We have been soaking up the views as much as the peace special places like this provide. 💚 If you're able, we hope this week allows for you to steal away some peaceful moments away from it all as well!
"A walk in nature walks the soul back home". -Mary Davis ❤ . . . If you're gonna walk in nature, let it be in Patagonia at least once! Along those winding trails you might just find a bit of yourself that you didn't know was missing! ☀️ . . . What trail do you dream of hiking? Share below! 🏔 . . . #thewayfarerjourneys #dreamhikingtrails #Patagonia #mountfitzroy #losglacieresnationalpark #visitargentina
A lesser photographed view of Patagonia but a lovely one, nonetheless! The dynamic landscape in this area changes back and forth along each trail from sweeping, open views of snow-capped peaks to dense woods to turquoise glaciers jutting beyond lagoons. The trees of Patagonia withstand unbelievable conditions and yet still, they hold their ground and stand firm! . . . If you're holed away at home you might fancy a read of our latest blog post about trekking in Patagonia! Head to the link in our bio to check it out! Just because we aren't traveling much at the moment doesn't mean we can't get a little wanderlust for the future, eh? 😉
Happy birthday to our fun-loving, brave, loyal, sweet adventure pup! Waldo has quite the adventurous spirit! So far he has traveled to 16 states + Canada in his short 2 years of life and he has loved everywhere he has gone! Some of his favorite travel experiences have been ( judging by the tail wags): . . . 🍀 Swimming in Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada 🍀Taking chilly autumn hikes and road tripping in Minnesota 🍀 Feeling like a rockstar everywhere he went in Arkansas & Missouri. Literally every person who saw him would pet him and say, " Oh look at that sweeeet baby!" 😄😊😍 🍀 Playing with family & exploring in the Colorado Rockies 🍀Visiting his two biggest fans ( after us) aka his fur Grandparents in Southern Utah 🍀Canoeing the Buffalo River in Missouri 🍀Snow hikes all over Utah . . . Taking pets on trips is not without its challenges but with a little extra planning it can be great fun! Creating memories and sharing the journey are what it's all about for us! ❤ . . . #thewayfarerjourneys #whereswaldo #waldotheadventurepup #travelwithpets #travelwithdogs #hikingdogsofinstagram #leonberger #adventurepup #dogsthathike #dogsthatcanoe
New post up on the blog! This post is unlike any other we've shared before. I am calling this new section on our blog "Wayfarer Wisdom". These articles are less about tips, itineraries, or gear guides and stem more from our personal experiences and lessons gleaned throughout our journeys. This particular post will take you with us from the quaint Argentinean village of El Chaltén to the wild and stunning trails of Patagonia. I'm sharing one of our favorite experiences as well as one lovely lesson we gained along the way! Let us know what you think and if you would like to see more posts of this nature! Link is in our bio. 😀
After hours riding a bus through endless plains interrupted only by the occasional sighting through our window of guanacos lazily sauntering through the golden steppe-plains and gauchos working their land, we at last pull into the quaint town of El Chaltén, Argentina. After spending the previous 4 days in Torres del Paine National Park making do with dehydrated meals, rations of fruit snacks and the occasional protein bar, we now feel like we are eating like kings. Within minutes we are standing in the foyer, head to toe in rain gear (pro tip: do not ever go to Patagonia without head to toe waterproof gear, if you can help it. As the clouds depart the mystical spire of Cerro Torre stands gleaming- white with snow- and jutting up like a dagger against the azure sky.
The famed Cerro Torre in Los Glacieres National Park. Few sites have truly taken my breath away and this is one of them. The image of the swirling, misty clouds shrouding the peak were like nothing I had ever seen before. 😍 . . . As legendary as this iconic view are the wild accounts and claims of those elite who have successfully ascended its length and lived to tell the tale. Some have spent months on end attempting time and again to reach the top while waiting for a sliver of ideal conditions. Standing at the edge of the glacial lagoon staring up it seems like an impossible feat. It is astounding to me what humans are capable of achieving!
Late winter- spring is by far our favorite time of year to explore the desert. We're so lucky to live in close proximity to some of the most stunning desert landscapes on the planet! We 🧡 Utah. Do you? What is your favorite place you've visited in Utah? . . . #thewayfarerjourneys #utahisrad #exploreutah #visitutah #utahgram #utahdesert #utahillustrated #utahunique #utahframes #werutah #naturalutah
I spy with my little eye, a teeny, tiny Jason perched above a peculiar 🐘shaped arch ( swipe to the end to see how elephant-y that arch really is)!🤔😍 I grew up about 10 minutes from this area and finally got around to hiking this trail with Jason and my Madre a couple of days ago. Southern Utah has endless beautiful places to explore and the topography in this area is rich and varied. Highly recommend both the Bone Wash and connecting Elephant Arch trail the next time you and yours are in the area! Winter & spring are by far my favorite time of year to hike in the desert!
