I am a hiker, photographer and environmental activist focused on educating others about nature and sharing beautiful places while recreating responsibly!
For most people, visiting public lands feels simple: you find a trail online, you head out, and you enjoy the scenery. But the last decade of recreation science research makes one thing very clear: not every place can handle heavy foot traffic, and once fragile ecosystems or cultural sites are damaged, the harm is often irreversible. This is not a hypothetical problem. Sedona’s Boynton Canyon is a real time example of what happens when a once quiet trail suddenly goes viral.
