Happy New Year! It’s been a busy past few weeks so I’m still catching up on photos, but I wanted to share a grab bag of shots from back in November, when Becca and I drove from Utah to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving before heading back north to Seattle.
As always, let me know what you think!
On our way out of Salt Lake City, we caught this absolutely stunning sunrise over the Great Salt Lake from Stansbury Island.

The snowpack was pretty grim at Donner Summit when we drove through, but we still got out of the car to stretch our legs with a very mellow ski tour up to get a view of Castle Peak.

Dad and I had fun photographing the surf in this blowhole-esque feature on the coast
