Contrasting the vastness of the National Park, the butterfly's beauty equally inspired me. It allowed me to get within inches take a photo after fluttering around me during an instant of my hike.

After ten days of driving, I reached the destination of my road trip. I took this photo to represent the beginning of my journey to and up the West Coast of the United States.
