A few weeks ago, I found myself back in my hometown of Sarasota, Florida, sitting on the pristine sands of Lido Beach as the sun dipped below the horizon. The colors painted across the sky and the rhythmic sound of waves brought a familiar sense of peace. Sarasota, with its coastal charm and tropical breezes, has a way of embracing you, much like the tides themselves.

This moment of serenity made me think about the contrast between Sarasota and the Black Hills, the two places that have shaped my journey in profoundly different ways. Sarasota is a place of water and warmth, where the sunsets seem to melt into the Gulf of Mexico. It’s vibrant yet tranquil, offering a connection to nature that feels vast yet intimate.

The Black Hills, on the other hand, are a world away—literally and figuratively. Instead of sandy shores, the hills are adorned with towering pines, rugged peaks, and ancient stone. The sunsets here cascade over landscapes rich with history and culture, where every curve of the land tells a story. While Sarasota invites reflection through the soft cadence of the waves, the Black Hills challenge you to explore and connect with the sacred ground beneath your feet.

Though different in geography, both places share something extraordinary: the power to inspire awe and contemplation. Sarasota feels like an embrace, a return to the familiar, while the Black Hills feel like an adventure, a connection to something greater than oneself.

As I reflect on this photo, I am reminded of how nature speaks to us in different languages. The Gulf whispers, the Black Hills sing, and together, they remind me why I do what I do—sharing the beauty and stories of the land with others.

What places make you stop, reflect, and feel connected to the world around you?

You know, Badlands sunsets are just timeless. Sometimes people wonder if we ever get bored of this, but nah! Every single day brings something new. As summer gives way to fall, the sun shifts down south, and the shadows play differently depending on where you stand. It’s just awesome, and we’re super excited to show it all to you!

The Black Hills and Badlands are home to some of the most breathtaking scenic roads in the country, each offering unique vistas and surprises around every turn.
