Hi, I’m Taryn!

Hi, I’m Taryn!

I travel extensively, I kinda like to hike and think of myself as "outdoorsy," and I'm a wannabe photographer. I'm glad you're here and hope you'll stay awhile!

Let’s connect on Instagram!

This time of year is my slow season for work, so I spend as much time as possible exploring Arizona in November and December every year. A couple of weeks ago, I (finally!) checked Emerald Cove and Arizona Hot Springs (AKA Ringbolt Hot Springs) off my bucket list with some old friends - and a new one. This state of ours is so dang diverse, sometimes I truly can't wrap my head around it. I'm also reminded that I wrote a very detailed Arizona bucket list months ago and never shared it here, so head to the link in my bio for that. I promise, it has a bunch of quirky, off-the-beaten path places, not just the classics everyone knows about! And for those wondering - YES, Emerald Cove 100% lives up to the hype. If you go, though, it's important to realize that you have a very small window of time when the water actually looks like this. It's in a small cove/cave completely in the shadows 99% of the time, so you have to catch it when the sun is in exactly the right spot. 📷 in frame: @kel_bel689 . . . #azinstagram #emeraldcove #dirtbaggypsies #arizonacollective #arizonaliving #southwestisbest #lakemead #coloradoriver #azadventures

Have you ever stayed in a grain silo (or did you know you could?!)? The ones at @clarkfarmsilos in Kalispell, MT were converted from working silos, off a farm in Idaho. It turns out they make amazing places to stay! • Electricity w/ heat + AC • Wi-fi • Full bathroom • Fire pit outside • Kitchen with setups for everything you could possibly want to make • 30-40 mins to Glacier National Park, 15-20 to Flathead Lake We stayed during a major winter storm and were toasty warm. I can't wait to go back in the summer when I'm up visiting Glacier again! . . . . . . . . #montana #montanagram #grainsilo #kalispell #uniquestay #wheretonext #stayawhile #montanamoment #gramslayer #destinationunknown

Arizona is full of so many hidden "gems" ... get it? Emerald = gem 🤣 Sorry, had to! Seriously though, I'm not sure what the heck took me so long to get to Emerald Cove (other than the fact that it's really dang remote), but I'm so happy to have finally checked this place off my bucket list. This incredible spot is a tiny cove along the Colorado River, between Lake Mead and Lake Mojave on the AZ/NV border. It requires a 2-mile kayaking trip to reach and you have a VERY small window of time to catch it where the sun is illuminating it. The vast majority of the time the cove is completely dark! We nailed it (somewhat accidentally 😅)! Have you heard of this place? . . . . . . . . #emeraldcove #lakemead #arizona #dirtbaggypsies #instapassport #instagramaz #igerssouthwest #nevada #whathappensinvegas #kayakadventures

Did you know Arizona has thousands of wild horses? There are a few separate groups throughout the state, but they all live along the few rivers we have. The Lower Salt from Phoenix's east valley toward Globe, the Colorado in northern AZ, and extreme northeastern AZ near NM are some of the most common areas they hang out. Your best chances of seeing them is actually getting on the water, because they tend to graze exactly like what you see here. Remember to give them plenty of space! As majestic and 'nice' as they seem, they are still wild animals. Enjoy beautiful AZ! 🤙 . . . . . . . . . #instagramaz #wildhorses #horseshoebend #coloradoriver #azinstagram #arizona #oh_arizona #kayakhorseshoebend #az #northernaz #igerssouthwest #igersarizona #dirtbaggypsies

It's officially that time of year us locals refer to as 'Sedona season' when trails are even more crowded 😳 Here's a secret: you don't have to do the most popular trails to get the best views. This trail is just a few minutes from uptown, but based on the lack of crowds, you'd think it's a remote location 🤣 Scorpion Trail is a 2.2-mile loop that also connects to other trails if you want a longer hike. Sunset views are 🤌 and there are a few awesome flattish spots for a picnic or a drink. PLEASE keep in mind that most trails in Sedona are in residential neighborhoods. Don't park like an a-hole and practice Leave No Trace. . . . . . . . . . . #sedona #hikesedona #hikingseason #igerssouthwest #swinstagram #azinstagram #desertdweller #sunsetsofinstagram #dirtbag
