1. One of the coolest places I’ve ever been 😍

From @jakeguzman

2. Colorado in the summer is unreal🥹Who do you want to visit here with? I want to move to Colorado after this trip.

We had an amazing time exploring the San Juan mountains this past week. Columbine Lake was definitely one of the highlights from this trip.

All Trails says it’s a 7.9mile round-trip w 2,837ft of gain, but I logged about 10 miles from my Apple watch. The elevation made this hike more challenging, but it’s absolutely stunning to see this alpine lake at 12,700ft. Right now is the perfect time to visit as all the wild flowers are blooming. The water is freezing cold, but it’s super refreshing to jump in during hot summer days. Would you do it?😉

4. And what a vibe it was 🥲✨

5. Can you believe this place is in the US?👇🏻

At 📍McKenzie river, located in Willamette National Forest, Oregon. Around 1 hours drive from Bend and Eugene.

💦 There are multiple waterfalls and pools in the area, most of which are easily accessible and with family friendly hikes. The 2 main waterfalls Koosah and Sahalie Falls can be accessed in the same hike through a 2.6 miles loop or by driving to each of them separately, since they are only 5 minutes driving from each other. In that case you will be able to access the waterfalls directly from the respective parking lots with a short walk.

Another spot you cannot miss is the Tamolitch Falls( or Blue Pool) which is a accessible though a 4.5 mile hike, which is a bit longer than the other 2 but it’s still relatively easy.
.
🌋 In some area of the McKenzie River and in particular at the Blue Pool, you will be able to admire some of the most clear and blue waters you will ever seen. The reason is the frigid temperature (37F or ~3C) that kills every microorganism in the water and the porous lava rock that act as a filter as the river flows through it.

6. The stunning Yosemite Fall 😍

8. 🌎it’s easy to feel small standing on top of Vernal Fall in Yosemite National Park.

We’ve been hiking up this trail for almost a decade and it’s the biggest we’ve ever seen it! It’s truly magical and leaves you feeling in awe of how majestic the beauty of our world is!

This year is a phenomenal year to hike to Vernal Falls. If you make the trip please keep the following in mind:

❌ dogs and other pets are not allowed on this trail
🗑️don’t leave any trash behind, even “compostable”
⚠️stay on trail and don’t climb over the safety railings
💦 pack enough water and snacks, this is a moderately strenuous hike
🥾wear shoes/boots with good grip: wet trail = slippery trail
⛈️ check the weather and trail conditions before your trip

Be safe. Be adventurous. Leave no trace 🌱

9. Lost in the Hoh Rainforest, Olympic National Park, I found peace in the quiet 🍃

From @natyexplora

10. The water is roaring in Yosemite and I’ve never seen the waterfalls so powerful

The snowpack is still very substantial in the higher elevations and the melt is going to continue for months! Yosemite is always astonishing, every time, no matter what. Hiking the Mist Trail is just incredible!

From @joeshike

11. Carlsbad Caverns National Park… 

I have never been too interested in caves, but this was one of the most impressive things I have seen in nature. It was 10 times bigger than I expected, with an entry cave system that descends 75 stories underground before reaching the “Big Room”. The park is pretty remote in southern New Mexico, but I would highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area

From @thewildiswaiting

12. Yosemite hasn’t looked like this in over 50 years

Due to overwhelming and record breaking snowfall this past winter, Yosemite is completely flooded throughout the valley and the waterfalls are ripping. Here is a little snippet of what we captured this week. Stoked to share more!

15. Placed in America that look like another planet.. Yosemite National Park in California🏞️

This is one of the most beautiful parks I’ve ever been to and it’s especially beautiful right now because of all the water from the snow this past winter!

If you are visiting Yosemite this time of year, be careful of the waterfalls!!

17. The world’s first National Park …

Most people know that Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is the first designated National Park in the United States. However, it is also widely regarded as the first EVER National Park which means she pretty much started this entire family. Now there are over 6,000 parks in over 100 countries worldwide!

Yellowstone has over 250 hiking trails, 500 geysers (which is almost half of the geysers that exist worldwide0, 200 species of animals, and so much more - so it’s a magnificent park to wear the crown of “first-ever.”

25. Summertime in the Tetons 🏔️

Grand Teton National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in America and one of the best places to visit in the summer. The amount of sight seeing by car, moderate hiking and hardcore adventuring in one park is unmatched. Not to mention the wildlife and the wildflowers! To catch sunflowers like in this video, make sure to visit in mid-late June. For the best hiking and backpacking opportunities, July and august after the snow melts are your best bet.

Please always make sure to follow leave no trace principles when visiting this amazing location! Have you ever been to Grand Teton National Park?

30. Angels landing is considered to be one of the deadliest hikes in the United States. 🤯🏜️

Would you climb this?

To reach the summit of the mountain, you must cross a skinny land-bridge with a 1000ft drop on both sides of you. The only guidance is a small metal chain.
