2West consists of David and Ryan Hepford. Two backpackers experiencing the American West by visiting it's many National and State Parks. We have been traveling together for close to ten years and have seen some really amazing places. 2West has traveled all over the state of Arizona, from Nogales to the Grand Canyon. We have also seen Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon in Utah, while enjoying many stops along the way.

Our plan is to annually visit as many National Parks in the western part of America as possible. We plan year round for these hiking excursions and gain a great deal of satisfaction from viewing such spectacular landscapes. Each trip is planned with the idea to backpack the most physically challenging trails with the intent of getting the best views each park has to offer. The pictures we have taken and plan to take, will give you a good idea of how magnificent these parks really are and how important it is to preserve them.
