I didn't set out to become a Yosemite guide. I set out to find something real — and Yosemite kept being where I found it.
17 years. 180+ park visits. All 63 U.S. National Parks. The journey started with a honeymoon sunrise on Haleakalā and ended — or rather, started over — on a beach in American Samoa in December 2025.
This is where I tell that story.
