Hiking and Camping and Bears, Oh My!

Okay, so maybe there aren't really any bears involved. But this post is all about celebrating time spent in the great outdoors so in the spirit of environmental adventure, I offer you some photos of my travels in natural settings. My secret hope is to inspire you to take a trip outside. I feel the need to visit a park now, anyway...
