Chasing Trail

Hi, hey, ciao, hello! i'm taryn

I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

Travel, hiking, camping, any type of adventure, really — it’s for everyone, and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. Even if you’ve never been much of a traveler or in the least bit outdoorsy!

It’s true that I’m fortunate enough to travel extensively for my career, but I do a lot of personal adventuring, too…and believe me, I don’t have particularly deep pockets or any sort of magic tricks.

On the contrary, I’m as “normal” as they come, juggling #thatfreelancelife, co-parenting, and a long-distance relationship, all while trying to sleep more than four hours a night, avoid carbs, go to the gym occasionally, and not blow all my money at REI.

See? Normal. 

In all seriousness, I’ve personally witnessed, time and time again, the transformative, empowering capabilities of spending time outside and traveling, and I’m extremely passionate about helping others discover the same. 

Traveling a little slower and more intentionally, exploring those hidden gems we all dream of, finding the most unique, memorable places to stay, it takes a bit more work. But isn’t the journey the real destination anyway?

So whether you’re ready to get acquainted with The Great Outdoors for the very first time (yay!), you’re getting back out there after a looooong break, or you’re just looking to virtually cure a bit of wanderlust, I’m here to help.

Finally made it to Hawksbill Crag/Whitaker Point (along with what seemed like 1,000 other people 😳, if you look closely).

We never planned to live in the Ozarks, and just a few years ago I would've thought you were crazy for even suggesting it, but man am I grateful for this chapter of our lives.

Hopi Point is almost universally considered the top sunset spot in Grand Canyon National Park, but Powell Point is riiiiight next to it. You actually see one from the other! Hopi comes with TONS of crowds (see second clip, that's 3+ bus loads of people waiting for a shuttle, whereas we had *4*), while Powell typically has none.

➡️ Take the Orange shuttle or, better yet, walk the Rim Trail from the Village (2.5 miles, mostly very easy, and bonus, near nonstop GC views), then shuttle back.
