Alaska

This past summer, I finally made it to Alaska.  It was a great trip with tons of wildlife, mountains, glaciers, helicopters, small planes, and boats!  Probably one of the more memorable trips I’ve been on.  Definitely unique going out on a hike in the middle of the night and have it be bright as day.

2018 – Glacier Peaks Wilderness

Glacier Peaks Wilderness in Washington had long been on my list, but I’d never taken the opportunity to go explore it before. This summer one of my buddies and I took a 63 mile backcountry loop through a section of it. Pretty amazing scenery throughout. Wildfires and bald blue skies made for less than epic photography, but the backpacking was amazing.

New Images – Coming Soon

I have new images coming later this winter. It’s been an incredibly busy summer and with all the travelling I just haven’t had time to post new images.

I have had a pretty good year with new images though, and should have a handful coming from: Oregon, Washington, Canada, Michigan, Minnesota, and Utah. So stay tuned.

Wonderwall

Fall Color, Narrows, Zion

 

Deep in the Narrows, in Zion National Park, Utah, this tree was growing straight out of the cliff.  Approximately 100 feet above the river below and several hundred feet below the top of the cliff.  I found it amazing the tree could survive in such a seemingly illogical location.  Light had just illuminated its leaves but had yet to reach high enough into the sky to light the lower portions of the narrow canyon.  I felt it left an incredible scene of stark contrast as the tree blazed a brilliant yellow against a dark canyon wall.
