Exploring the Outdoors

I love hiking, trail running and exploring in general. Photography has only sparked my desire to see new and interesting places and to capture these places in photographs. I'm always looking for new places to discover and use many different resources to find them like All Trails or Google Maps. I created this section of my site to share some of my favorite areas and to hopefully give others ideas on where to go.

I have also started a YouTube channel about photography and exploring New England, check it out here! My YouTube Channel
