AMERICAN WEST
The American West is where I go when I need to feel small in the best possible way. There's nothing quite like standing at the rim of the Grand Canyon at golden hour, or watching the red rocks of Sedona glow at dusk after a long hike. My American West guides are centered primarily around Arizona — Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and the road trips that connect them — with Zion National Park in Utah rounding out the collection. These are the trips I plan for people who want to hike, explore, and come home with a few stories worth telling.

Hi, I'm Jess — a Western North Carolina native now based in Greenville, SC. I've spent years exploring everywhere from the red rocks of Sedona to the single-track roads of the Isle of Skye, and I write about all of it here. When I'm not planning someone's next adventure, you can find me searching for the perfect swimming hole, chasing a good hike, or snuggling up with my pups. I'm also a travel advisor with Fora Travel, a Virtuoso agency — so if you're ready to book, I can help with that too.
