Personal Storytelling - A Hike Through the Red Desert - Sedona, Arizona
Whenever I go to Sedona it almost doesn't seem real... And then when I get home and look at my footage it happens again, like, "Okay is the dirt really that red?" Enjoy!
Mountain Standard Time: Hiking at Jack's Canyon
Personal Storytelling - A Snowy Hike Through Jack's Canyon
When I was a kid my dad would pack my brother and I up for a day trip to Jack's Canyon where he would climb with his friends. One time, during a break from school, he told me we would be camping there for a week. At the time I was not about it... Well, the gods looked down on me and made it snow the first night, so we had to leave. :) But not before one cold, snowy night of camping that involved my dog getting into my sleeping bag and kicking me out so he could have all the warmth. Little brat. Last month I took a hike through snowy Jack's Canyon and couldn't help but think of all the times I've spent there with my dad!
The Magic of Community
The 10th Annual Kahtoola Uphill - Flagstaff Event Film
Last month’s Kahtoola Uphill event felt like a big, fun party. Community members had gathered and were having fun as they cheered on the runners. However, when I stepped back I realized this was, truly, all for the future of society and I was struck by the magic of community. Although everyone was enjoying their time, the runners were ultimately supporting Camp Colton, which supports environmental education in Flagstaff. It's important that students get the opportunity to learn about the environment, to connect to nature, and grow in new ways, especially for them to grow into caring citizens. And I think that's the real reason everyone comes out to the Kahtoola Uphill, not for a fun party, but to ensure that more kids have the chance to grow into all their potential as caring and vital citizens of society. I hope you get that sense of community when you watch the video below!
