Hi, I’m Taryn!

Hi, I’m Taryn!

I travel extensively, kinda like to hike and think of myself as "outdoorsy," love to eat (and drink!) well, and I'm a wannabe photographer. If that resonates with you, I'd love to connect! Settle in and stay awhile!

Let’s connect on Instagram!

One of my most common DM questions: the best places to stay near Glacier National Park. 🐻 If you're thinking of visiting next year, know that accommodations book out this far in advance (really!). Book early! In no particular order, here are several options for a wide variety of preferences and budgets: 1. @wonderstoneusa - hip, re-imagined motel, super close to the West Glacier (20 mins) without the crazy traffic or prices of West Glacier 2. @goroambeyond - super unique, Instagrammable stay in Columbia Falls that genuinely everyone loves 3. @clarkfarmsilos - converted grain silos in an awesome spot in Kalispell 4. @thecabinsatblacktail - ultra modern tiny cabins in Lakeside (Flathead Lake, which I HIGHLY recommend for at least a night) 5. Flathead Lake Orchard Tent - true glamping experience on the other side of Flathead Lake in Bigfork...plus a sauna and cold plunge! 🥶 @theflawlesselle 6. @Baseglamp - crazy luxurious geodesic domes in Whitefish, and one of the only winter options that's not a hotel

When is the best time to visit Glacier National Park? Right now! September has always been my favorite time of year to visit, for several reasons... 🚗 Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTTSR) is fully open, and no longer requires reservations after the first part of the month. The general rule is that you need reservations for 1 week following Labor Day weekend. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 People largely view this as a signal that the season's over, so park crowds get dramatically lower when the reservation period ends. 🍂 The weather is FANTASTIC. With that said, I have been snowed in Glacier in June, July, and September 🤣 soooooo pack plenty of 'just-in-case' pieces. 🐻 It's the best season for spotting wildlife! Of course, be extremely cautious and give animals a LOT of room when you do see them. 🥾 It's also the BEST hiking season. Trails are open and clear of snow, waterfalls are flowing from snowmelt, and fall foliage starts early here. Keep in mind that GTTSR historically closes the 3rd Monday in October, but has occasionally closed earlier. Again, September is best! 🍁 . . . . . . #glaciernationalpark #goingtothesunroad #glacier #nationalparkgeek #nationalparkobsessed #montanagram #redbus #montana #itsbetteroutside

Glacier is known for its epic all-day and backcountry hikes, but this one is an exception. Sun Point is just 0.2 miles! Really! 🤯 Park in the large Sun Point lot along GTTSR (like almost everywhere else in the park, it fills up quickly, so pack a lot of patience) and follow the signs. The views are almost instantaneous, and you'll stroll along St. Mary's Lake up to the rocky outcrop at Sun Point. The views are nearly 300 degrees, so bring lunch or snacks - you'll want to stay awhile. Note that it's also notoriously WINDY, so it isn't the best spot for tripod photography. From here, you can also easily hike to Baring Falls, St. Mary Falls, and Virginia Falls. . . . . . . #glaciernationalpark #glacierpark #nationalparkobsessed #montanamoment #montanacolors #eastglacier #easyhike #girlgetoutside #itsbetteroutside

How is this place even real? This isn't even edited or filtered....I was in this spot for nearly 30 minutes trying to get the "right" shot because the sun and clouds were changing rapidly. I couldn't see my camera screen very well with the glare and wind, so after awhile I gave up, feeling defeated that I couldn't capture what I was actually seeing. Took a few quick snaps on my phone on the way out and, well, here's the result. Some places are just really incredibly special. . . . . . . #glaciernationalpark #glaciernps #glacierpark #montanamoment #montanacolors #protectourparks #nationalparkobsessed #nationalparkgeek

I couldn't see my camera screen very well with the glare and wind, so after awhile I gave up, feeling defeated that I couldn't capture what I was actually seeing. Took a few quick snaps on my phone on the way out and, well, here's the result. Some places are just really incredibly special. . . . . . . #glaciernationalpark #glaciernps #glacierpark #montanamoment #montanacolors #protectourparks #nationalparkobsessed #nationalparkgeek

Waterfall Wednesday, Utah edition! Lower Calf Creek Falls is a very literal oasis in the desert 🏜. It's in remote Grand Staircase-Escalante, close to Bryce Canyon and not far from Capitol Reef. The 126-foot-tall waterfall (surprisingly) flows year-round, and is reached via a 3-mile hike (one way). We absolutely loved this hike! Wouldn't recommend it in the summer 🥵, but spring and fall are ideal. Everything is lush and green in spring, and fall brings some color change. Bring your America the Beautiful national parks pass for free parking, along with plenty of water! Have you ever done this hike?? . . . . . . #utahisrad #trailguide #beutahful #hikeutah #utahtrails #grandstaircase #southwestisbest #dirtbagdarling #waterfallwednesday
