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
Moab Utah, A Sunset Hike to Delicate Arch
Moab Utah is like another planet, surrounded by red rock, larger than life rock formations, and canyons, this dessert area is one of a kind. Moab itself has two national parks; Canyonlands and Arches. With Arches being the closest national park to the town of Moab. It makes the park a perfect location for spending a whole day or even just going in the afternoon. My favorite hike, if you’re up for the challenge, is Delicate Arch at sunset. It’s hikes like this that really make you appreciate mother nature and make your trip that much more memorable

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.
