Photography, trail stories, and the places worth stopping for.
It started with a rebuilt hip, a camera, and a few early mornings when staying home felt like the easier option.
Now The Hip Explorer is where I share the Maine I find along the way—sunrises worth getting up for, trails that ask just enough, and overlooked places with stories still hanging around.
I’m not chasing mileage. I’m paying attention.
Sunrises worth getting up for
Trails that ask just enough
Small towns and overlooked places
Photography with a sense of place
Stories gathered along the way
The weather is part of the story
A short trail can still matter
Familiar places deserve another look
Not every stop needs an itinerary
The best moments rarely announce themselves
New trail notes, photographs, and places worth stopping for—sent when there’s something worth sharing. No fixed schedule. No inbox clutter.
