- [Sofia] Nature and family have always existed
within the same worlds for me.
My name is Sofia Jaramillo.
I'm a National Geographic photographer.
I'm going on a road trip with my brother Lucas.
- Good to see you!
- [Sofia] To a place that was
really important to us as kids.
I grew up visiting the Sawtooths here in Idaho pretty often.
My godparents used to run Redfish Lake Lodge,
so I spent almost every summer here
growing up with my brother, and I'm really excited
to go on this road trip with him.
- Oh nice, you have KnowYourDrive?
- Yeah, so we have emergency roadside service if we need it.
I think my brother is the sweetest human.
Perfect. (laughing)
He's got a really, really huge heart,
and I think that there needs to be more of him in the world.
Do you remember coming here when we were kids?
- I do. Such a beautiful spot.
- [Sofia] I certainly long for road trips.
- The Pickle Palace. Those fried pickles the baddest.
I'll be whipping my hair on that big green chair.
- [Sofia] Road trips are when life is unfolding.
That's when you have to surrender to the experiences
that are gonna happen in front of you.
- Cool.
- [Sofia] My family is a huge reason
that I'm a National Geographic photographer.
They were the ones that introduced me to the outdoors
and taught me how to love the outdoors
and be in the outdoors.
I learned that there's a lot of incredible things
in our backyard within hours of where we live
and that you don't have to travel around the world
to find beauty.
Photographing a place that was such a big part of who I am
was such a powerful experience.
I'm always gonna remember this for the rest of my life,
and it'll be really nice to have those photos
and look back on them.
And I think it's always worth a road trip
to come back to this place to reconnect.
