"...the Canyonlands. The slickrock desert. The red dust & the burnt cliffs & the lonely sky...all that lies beyond the end of the roads...."
-Edward Abbey, Desert Solitare

My name is Suzanne, nickname "Lily". My passions are backcountry hiking, distance running, writing & photography. I live in Arizona with my husband & dog. Arizona offers endless wilderness to explore, with almost every climate and landscape imaginable.

I have begun creating a series of Arizona hiking videos, created from my photographs with trivia and directions to each trail at the end. I'm very slow at this unfortunately. I have many more yet to complete as time allows; in the meantime I periodically upload short clips from hikes.

I plan to make many more Arizona hiking videos from trails and off trail hikes I have been able to experience, including Superstition Mountains, Grand Canyon & some more obscure and remote trails.

Eventually I hope to begin a new series from my travels to England.

I have a few other miscellaneous topic movie maker videos uploaded that I made from my photos and a lot of clips of hikes, my ferrets, dog and family.

I periodically publish poetry and the occasional photo. I keep a writer's bio at: http://writtenart.wetpaint....

I hope you enjoy some of my videos. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to watch, if you enjoyed, feel welcome to leave a comment and let me know so I can visit your channel as well.

Cheers, and happy trails!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

distance runner, backcountry hiker, poet, photographer, pet person, tree hugger, book & film buff. I love riding horses and motorcycles. I enjoy exploring old buildings and historical sites, and I'm always up for ghost hunting! :) I believe in honesty, integrity, endurance, strength of spirit and loyalty of the heart. Through Art and Nature I try to explore those ideals. I feel most at home out in the Wilds, on a trail, or discovering my own path.
