Do you ever wish you could give your younger self assigned reading? Wish I would’ve read Pam Houston’s sharp and un-put-down-able collection of short stories when I was in my early 20s. Also this book slaps if you haven’t read it 💙📚

Looking up and out, I’m starting to wonder about the implications of the next Trump admin on Utah’s public lands. Last time around two of our national monuments got reduced by millions of acres to pave the way for oil & gas. This is the underside of a natural bridge within Bears Ears National Mon.

I have been in a funk since the election. So a week later I hiked across a creek, up a steep snow-covered scree field, and climbed some ice. I’m still devastated but am out of the total despair phase. How have you been coping with the return of #trumpsamerica 😕
