When the beginning of 2024 hit, I wanted to be super intentional about getting my butt outside more. A big part of staying in the groove of hiking as much as you can is planning. So, I planned a few trips to Southern New Mexico and that beautiful part of Texas, a.k.a. Big Bend. From caves to mountains to stars, I’m stoked about where I’ve been at the start of this year.

I truly enjoy taking long-exposure photos of the stars. These three photos are just a few examples, but trust me, I have many more.
