Travel Expertise, Built in the Field
Years of traveling, mapping, hiking, and exploring North America have turned into practical knowledge you can use to plan your own trip.
| Region | Coverage & Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Northeast | The Appalachian Mountains, New England, the Hudson Valley, and mountain towns throughout the Northeast. |
| Southern California | The mountains, deserts, and coastal ranges around Los Angeles and San Diego — including surprisingly good hiking close to the cities. |
| Southwest | Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and the high desert — from major national parks to lesser-known mountain and canyon destinations. |
| Yucatán Peninsula | Travel throughout Yucatán, Quintana Roo, and Campeche, with a focus on getting beyond the obvious destinations. |
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Mountain Travel | Where the mountains are, how they fit together, and where to find the best hiking, scenery, towns, and experiences. |
| Urban Hiking | Some of the best hiking in North America starts right in the city. I specialize in finding trails and mountain landscapes you can reach without a car. |
| Trains & Transit | Planning trips around Amtrak, regional trains, buses, and other ways to get around without driving everywhere. |
| Dude Ranches | Western ranch stays, mountain towns, horseback riding, and the places where the landscape is part of the experience. |
| Wellness & Hot Springs | Hot springs, mountain retreats, and destinations where slowing down is part of the trip. |
| Ski & Snowboard | Mountain destinations across the Rockies and Northeast, from major resorts to smaller ski towns. |
| Seasonal Travel | Practical knowledge from years of living and traveling on the road — including seasonal work, mountain towns, and extended stays. |
Anthony Pascale
I’ve spent years roaming North America as a digital nomad, working from my computer while also working seasonally at ranch resorts and farms across the Rocky Mountains, New York, and New England. Tumbleweed Maps grew out of that experience — combining mountain geography, hiking, maps, photography, public transit, and a lot of time figuring out how places actually fit together.
Along the way, I earned my FAA Part 107 license and have flown a drone in 14 states over the past two years. My work now sits at the intersection of travel, geography, web, social media, and visual content — helping travelers plan better trips and organizations better understand and share the places they work with.

Most of Tumbleweed Maps lives on Facebook, where I share maps, mountain destinations, hiking ideas, travel stories, and the geographic details that make a place worth exploring.
