R – Root Yourself in Recreation
Every great transformation begins with a solid foundation. Root Yourself in Recreation by discovering outdoor activities that align with your passions and strengths. This is your pathway to feeling grounded, energized, and ready to thrive. E – Engage Your Senses
Awaken your mind and body by fully immersing yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. Engage Your Senses to reconnect with the present moment and unlock a clearer, more focused version of yourself. S – Share Your Experience
Your journey becomes richer when it’s shared. Share Your Experience to create deeper connections, celebrate your growth, and inspire others to embrace their own potential. P – Pursue Connection to Place
True growth comes from meaningful connections. Pursue Connection to Place by learning the stories of the land, discovering its history, and finding your role within the places that inspire you. E – Express Gratitude

Levitating on the current Oregon State Park pass prices before it DOUBLES 🫡

Starting January 1st you will no longer be able to buy a 2-year pass (which is currently $50), but instead will only be able to buy a year-pass for $60 😵🤯

Day-use passes are doubling up from $5 to $10 👀

If you are like me and love to send at Smith Rock’s glory, I’d hop on buying that two-year park pass by December 31st before your wallet says uh-oh! 😮

You can purchase state park passes online and at your local state park. Visit my website for more information.
