Elk learning about its environment at the Grand Canyon. 😂🙂 So much fun to roadtrip and explore. You stumble across the funniest things. And it’s so much more fun with good company.

Osage orange hedgerow at Midewin. Actually one of the things I most like about this short walk besides the buffalo are these trees. They are so unique in form you can spot them anywhere. An their fruit — a giant green ball of seeds the size of a softball— is like no other. The inner bark is an amazing warm orange color and glows like the canyons of the western states against the brilliant white winter snow. #midewinnationaltallgrassprairie #modewin #walk #hike #buffalo #illinois #relaxingwalks #explore #neverstopexploring #middaygetaway #sunnywalk #portraitsofatraveler #travelblogger #nationalgrasslands #letsexplore #walkwithme (at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIVwGZgFzCO/?igshid=16i7qasfa6981

The mystery and awe I felt exploring this river is certainly memorable and makes me want to return. If you have a an opportunity to hike this, do it! It’s such a unique experience.

Seal on glacial ice at Aialik glacier. While sea kayaking we saw a number of seals resting on the ice floating out from where the glacier was calving into the fjord. #kayaking #glacier #alaska #seakayaking #aialikglacier #kenaipeninsula #harborseals #travelalaska #travelphotography (at Aialik Glacier) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgMw64lQAk/?igshid=5ud1u4vj2ikq

Hey bear! Alaska bear plate. This guarantees you will see a bear in Alaska. 😉 The original bear plate, released in the 70s for the bicentennial, was controversial and received a lot of criticism, which led to it eventually being removed a few years later. In 2015 the Alaskan brown bear or grizzly plate was reintroduced with a much warmer reception. Alaska plates are of course rare. I’d never seen a grizzly plate before my visit to the state in August. And I being a good tourist, I had to snap a quick pic of my rental’s plate. There’s an interesting article about the plates history: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/article/artist-surprised-learn-his-bear-featured-alaska-plates/2015/07/17/ Apparently the artist was not aware of its use. I don’t know what the outcome of recognition of him was, but I guess I’ll call it the Allen brown bear from now on. 🙂 🐻 #bearplate #49thstate #alaska #travelalaska #licenseplates #explorealaska #bears #brownbear #beartrivia #alaskatrivia #allenbear #bearart #douglasallen #douglasallenartist #travelblog #traveltrivia #heybear #rarebear #travelblogger #travelalaska (at Anchorage, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpqlrtl9LJ/?igshid=1a5mro1dll3tz

Curry ridge trail. A beautiful hike once you get up towards the top of the ridge on the switchbacks and can see the river valley off to the north. The air smells sweet and clean and fresh. The sun bright and clear. Made me feel buoyant and alive. Plenty of moose activity in the area and a female and her calf blocked the trail for awhile on our return. #hiking #hikwithme #alaska #denalistatepark #curryridgetrail #natureescape #travelwithme #alaskalife #lastfrontier #49thstate #denali #dayhikes #beautifulhikes (at Denali State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI-pOAliy9/?igshid=1fok567691rx0

“A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.” — John A. Shedd. Heading out from Seward’s new harbor on an all day outing to Kenai Fjords National Park. It was almost a full day after the storm that rearranged our schedule had passed and it was time to get out on the water. #wanderlust #wander #wonder #nationalparks #alaska #explorealaska #kenaifjords #sewardalaska #seaphotography #sail #seataxi #kayaking #tour #travelalaska #americanslastfrontier #explorewithme # (at Seward, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFp1jicFP-h/?igshid=1gigparlheg37
