The final ascent up the Angel’s Landing hike. Spectacular views all the way up and down.Spent an amazing two days at Zion National Park in Utah. Spent a frustrating two nights trying to cook and sleep in tents during windstorms in Zion. Regardless, that place is beautiful but I’ll try let the photos speak that for me.

A week later and I’m sitting outside a grocery store with my good friend Cole changing a flat tire on the grass next to me while Eric and Chris are inside buying provisions. But I’m not going to get into the details about the last few days in Zion, that will be in the next post. Click read more below to see the rest of the post!
So I just have to write this out now or else it won’t ever get written and it will just be photos, which is probably not a terrible thing. The past few days have been an array of ups and downs emotionally, which at times has been frustrating and exhausting. But it’s had it’s joyful moments as well (sorry if I’m digging too deep here and you feel like you’re reading into my journal, but this is what the blog is about.)
When I was in Redding I had a wonderful stay with an old friend from Smithers who is studying there. It was a really enjoyable weekend full of bike rides, frozen yogurt, some serious genuine conversation as well as some solid reflection time. It was so relieving to just be surrounded by such happy and outgoing people – or maybe just people in general. Click read more below to see the rest of the post!
Yesterday was frustrating. The day before was bad, and the weekend prior was amazing. But lets not start with the negatives or else no one will read this thing!
The weekend in Bend. If you’ve ever felt that a town could not possibly be any more attractive, wait until you’ve checked out Bend. It has a bit of everything, and the things it doesn’t have, you don’t need. It was a pleasure to have someone there to show me around, and Eric from Spin Cycle Industries was a champ. He showed me a great time, and had a room all lined up for me when I arrived – I was soaking wet and cold after riding through snow the morning before.

info@shiftingsouth.comGrowing up in the quaint Northern BC town of Smithers and surrounded by the breath taking mountain ranges had a strong impact on who Nathan Huisman is today. It's in a place like that where you get to really appreciate the small things and a sense of appreciation for life grows steadily. When the desire of exploration overtook Nathan immediately after high school, people knew that he had been infected by the travel bug.
And then, the day before his 21st birthday he left his hometown to head south on a road slightly less traveled with 2 wheels beneath. The journey begins in Smithers but where it ends still remains unknown, all that is known for certain is that with a camera in his hands and a desire to serve in his heart he plans on change in Central America.
