Welcome
I really started The Outdoor Gems to share outdoor experiences through photography and storytelling to inspire more people to get outside. If more people got outdoors; took a walk, hike, went snowboarding, sat around a campfire, and surfed in the ocean, I think the world would be a better place.

Greatest Places to Go
Aspen Colorado, Hiking the American Lake Trail in the Fall
Fall is a special time in Colorado and Aspen is one of the best places to go to see the colors. I seem to catch this trail either too early or too late each time I’ve gone, but none the less, it is a favorite of mine just outside of Aspen that has plenty of awesome color each year. What I like most is how close it is to the town and how it makes for a great day hike. I happened to hike it during the snow which allowed me to have the trail to myself for the most of the way..

Meet Jeremiah
Growing up, I loved being outside. I took a lot of cool trips with my family, whether it was camping, going to the beach, road trips, and national parks. Even though I didn’t fully appreciate those experiences at the time, as I got older I started getting more into the outdoors and traveling, reconnecting with my past. The feeling of traveling or going somewhere new always seems to give a sense of excitement or adventure.
Snowboarding and boardsports in general have been a passion of mine for over 20 years. I always loved the culture that came with it; from local retail shops to magazines and videos, to riding with friends as well as geeking out on the latest gear, it’s all part of the experience. After working in snowboard/outdoor gear shops for the past decade along with traveling to different outdoor places, I decided to put all of that experience in digital form to inspire and connect with other people.
