October 11-12, 2009
~ Slickhorn Canyon - Cedar Mesa, Utah |
| |
Ancient ruins and autumn
colors draw the explorer and inspire creativity. Hiking these remote
canyons filled me with wonder and appreciation for those who once
made their lives here. |
|
 |
July 18-21, 2009
~ Paradise Park, Rocky Mountain National Park,
Colorado |
| |
Special permit to explore a
special place in Rocky Mountain National Park. Off-trail, off-grid
remote and pristine wilderness. This is an incredible place... Interactive map
now includes auto-tour. Sit back and fly through Paradise... |
|
 |
May 2-4, 2009 ~ Dominguez Canyon Wilderness, Colorado |
| |
A 3-day backpack into the
newly designated Dominguez Canyons Wilderness. We didn't follow our
planned loop route, but we still had a great time exploring and
photographing the canyons, waterfalls and cottonwood trees adorned
in their spring green folliage. Interactive map
now includes auto-tour. Sit back and fly through the canyonlands of
Western Colorado... |
|
 |
September 28, 2008 ~ Cathedral Lake, Colorado |
| |
A fantastic hike to the
stunning Cathedral Lake, outside Aspen, CO, during the peak of fall
colors. This is a new trip report format which includes both a
captioned slideshow and interactive map with hiking route and
images... |
|
 |
August 2-4, 2008 ~ The Snowy Range, Wyoming |
| |
Wildflower season among the peaks and
numerous lakes of
the Snowy Range in Southern Wyoming. This was my first photo/camping trip
on my motorcycle. The weather was perfect and the wildflowers were
abundant. Every time I visit the Snowy Range, I vow to spend more
time there - what a great place! |
|
 |
April 3-7, 2008 ~ Grand Staircase Escalante &
Capitol Reef ~ Utah |
| |
My first real photo trip to
Grand Staircase Escalante and Capitol Reef, and it won't be my last!
We found some amazing off-the-beaten-path locations and also
visited some familiar icons. |
|
 |
October 13, 2007 ~ Cedar Mesa, Utah |
| |
Fall colors, red rock
canyons and ancient ruins make for unlimited photographic
opportunities. This is a place that you could explore for a
lifetime. Every twist and turn, in every canyon, reveals something
wonderful. |
|
 |
September 22-23, 2007 ~ Fall Colors, Colorado |
| |
An early season visit to
Kebler Pass for some hiking and scouting of new locations. A stormy
afternoon viewing Capitol Peak. And a soggy day along Castle Creek
around Ashcroft. Autumn in Colorado can deliver just about any kind
of conditions. |
|
 |
July 27-28, 2007 ~ Lost Lake, Weminuche
Wilderness, Colorado |
| |
A short, soggy, difficult
backpack trip into the Weminuche Wilderness. But the wildflowers,
scenery and campsite views were more spectacular than you could
imagine. This is a remote place that I absolutely MUST visit
again. |
|
 |
July 25-26, 2007 ~ Ice Lakes Basin, Colorado |
| |
Rain, hail, shoulder-high
wildflowers and a series of ever more beautiful cirques high in the
San Juan Mountains. |
|
 |
July 24, 2007 ~ West Fork Pass, Uncompahgre
Wilderness,
Colorado |
| |
One of my favorite hikes up
the West Fork of the Cimarron River to a sweet view of one of my
favorite mountains, Colorado's Wetterhorn. |
|
 |
July 15, 2007 ~ Mirror Lake & Lone Eagle Peak,
Colorado |
| |
A great hike and
destination on the West side of the Indian Peaks Wilderness. It can
be either a very long day-hike (bring your stamina), or you can make
it an overnight. And although I'm mostly a landscape photographer,
you can see one of my very few (and mediocre) wildlife photos in
this collection. But watch out, its definitely not one of those
warm-fuzzy animals. |
|
 |
June 30, 2007 ~ Lake Isabelle, Indian Peaks
Wilderness,
Colorado |
| |
A justly popular hike just
an hour from Denver on the front range of Colorado. Great early and
late season hiking (be prepared for snow), as well as a decent
wildflower destination. |
|
 |
September 16-17, 2007 ~ Mill Castle & 3 Lakes
Trails,
Colorado |
| |
A trip through Gunnison
National Forest in early fall - too early for peak aspen color, but
I managed to come away with a few images. |
|
 |
August 2-6, 2006 ~ Deep Lake & Cirque of the
Towers, Wyoming |
| |
An iconic location on the
Southern end of the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming. Granite spires,
clear streams and sapphire lakes make this one of the most
incredible backpacking trips of my life. |
|
 |
July 14, 2006 ~ Arrowhead Lake, Rocky Mountain
National Park |
| |
A familiar, distant view
from Trail Ridge Road, but this destination is seldom visited due to
its off-trail location. It is a strikingly beautiful cirque. And
something new... A downloadable KMZ file for Google Earth that
includes my hiking route and images along the way. |
|
 |

my life. |

A simple trip report that
is still one of the most visited areas on my website. |

Another frequently visited

lush streambeds. |
