Hey, I'm Calvin.

I just like hiking. A lot.

You found Koda's secret page!

The only dog in this world that can compete with Grayson.

Calvin Hiking

Growing up, it was my dream to one day have my own website. 15 years ago, I was posting this video on my youtube channel on how to create a website with notepad. It took a while, but 15 years later, i've finally done it.

I've never ran a ultramarathon, and I’ve never used the word “summit” in a serious conversation. All I really want is to see as much of this world’s beauty while I still can.

My goal? Visit all 63 U.S. National Parks and to document it. Not to flex (okay, maybe a little), but to collect moments that’ll stick with me longer than any souvenir ever could.

This site is part trip journal, part community, part excuse to design something cool. If you’re into dirt, cliffs, dramatic sunsets, and quiet moments, you’ll probably feel at home here.

🎯 Goal

visit all 63 U.S. National Parks.

🌍 Dream

seeing the Himalayas and hiking the Everest Base Camp.

🕹️ Origin Story

ex Minecraft veteran. turns out hiking is just the adult version of it.

🥾 Longest Hike

16 miles — still recovering.

Meet Grayson

Grayson is our 1 year old French Bulldog that has the stamina of a sloth and the snore of a grown man. He isn't exactly built for the trails, he gets hot fast and prefers lounging under the AC and eating ice cubes.

He is a curious, quiet dog with main character syndrome, stopping for every stranger like he's collecting votes.

Hiking?

Not really his thing.

Winning hearts?

Undefeated.

Meet Koda

Koda (or Koda Bear) is my girlfriend's 5-year-old Goldendoodle and Grayson's best friend. He's a gentle, affectionate dog who's happiest when he's chasing a tennis ball or cuddling on the couch.

He'll happily play fetch for hours without ever getting tired, fuel up with a few green beans, and then do it all over again.

Koda will rarely strays far from my girlfriend's side. I've spent months trying to earn the top spot in his heart, but I've come to accept my role as the spare human.

He is the best. Just a fluffy angel with four paws.
