Warm Light, Cool Air

I love the mountains. Being in Idaho and a short drive from the Tetons, I’ve grown up, hiking, biking and fishing and camping throughout the mountains.

In the mountains it’s all about the light. The warm globe campfire makes you feel like everything‘s gonna be OK and a sunny day warming the air is so nostalgic for me.
