Canyon Drives and Chairlift Highs is an on-the-go podcast recorded and filmed entirely on location. In this series, Anna Kate and Justin explore conversation together as they drive through canyons, reflect on chairlifts, road trip, and drop each other off at the airport while having real, genuine conversations.
Everyone has those canyon drives with their friends, those Uber airport drives, random talks with strangers on chairlifts, and deep, thought-provoking discussions on road trips. Follow along as we discuss Utah, names, silence, relationships, seasons, and purpose.

Purpose. What is my purpose as a human being? What is my purpose as an individual? In this season finale to their maiden voyage, Anna Kate and Justin wrap things up with a profound question during a canyon drive after a day of skiing and a nice little apres-ski at the Thirsty Squirrel at Solitude Mountain Resort. All humans have a purpose and each human as a purpose in their own life. Together, your hosts dive into what they think humanity's purpose is, and why they're on this earth.

Music is with us daily. It's in our bedrooms, in our kitchens, in our showers (as we hold our own private concerts), and in our living rooms. It's also in our cars, in our earbuds as we ski down the mountain, in our gyms, and in our churches. What music do you listen to and how does it affect your life? Do you use music as therapy, as stress relief, or simply for entertainment? Anna Kate and Justin ponder music during a night-time drive, and how it helps each of us.

God works in mysterious ways. God also works in plain sight. Each of us has had great encounters with God, and on this episode, Anna Kate and Justin discuss how God has impacted them as individuals. Get ready to get deep, feel some emotions, laugh a little, cry a little, and ponder your own life!

Responsibility is a large part of our lives, from the first time we're allowed to help mom cook in the kitchen to getting our homework done in grade school and living on our own in college and beyond. Responsibility might seem like a big, loaded word for some people, and for others, it might come naturally. How are we responsible for our own actions in our lives? With responsibility comes discipline. How is each of us disciplined in our lives?
This episode is more complex in nature; it's deeper than the last few episodes. The goal of this episode is to invoke some thoughts into your own life about how you handle responsibility and discipline.

We finally got on a chairlift for an episode! In perhaps our favorite episode of the season, Anna Kate shares her quiet place, her silence, and how she defines the noise in her life. Justin also shares how he achieves a peaceful life, and how he navigates the noise in his life. This episode is one of the more entertaining, more lighthearted episodes, but takes a good look at how each of us navigates silence in our lives and confronts (and solves) our personal noise.

Winter is one of the most beautiful seasons. It brings cold temperatures, snowfall to some areas, and opportunities for outdoor recreation. Winter also brings darkness, depression, and cabin fever. In this episode, Anna Kate and Justin take turns sharing their love of winter and the hardships they encounter along the way. From skiing to skating, there’s ample opportunity to get outside and recreate. But, how do shorter days and darker skies affect our moods?

Anna Kate starts our discussion in a wonderful way: "It's interesting, nobody really gets to choose their own name. You're given a name when you have no cognition to the fact that it is your name." This is totally true! Our parents give us our names, and sometimes they have a deeper meaning than we may realize. We discuss our own names and the perceived meanings behind each of our names. This one's short and sweet!

In this episode, Anna Kate and Justin discuss Utah. What makes Utah so great?

Each of us shares what makes Utah feel like home, and why we keep going back for seconds. Dive on in!
