In October of 2017, I began a solo journey that would end up taking 20 months, covering well over 50,000 miles. My goal was to explore all of our National Parks in the lower 48 states and document my travels with words and photographs. In the end, I hiked well over a thousand miles, took 10,000 photographs and wrote 120,000 words. It was a labor of love and I consider myself incredibly fortunate. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have concerning my trip or the parks. Happy to reply. Follow on Instagram @TheBeardedMan59
