Spent 4 days hiking in Los Picos de Europa in northern Spain covering a little over 30 miles and 15,000 vert in elevation gain. Day 1: Starting out at Hotel Poncebos (900 ft) – Along the famous Rio Cares heading up towards our first small town (Bulnes) which is also accessible by a Funicular. Here […]
Returning in October this was my third time visiting Iceland. By late fall the height of tourism has subsided and the weather is on the edge of turning into winter. Days were starting to get shorter and the moon was visible for most of the week oscillating above and below the horizon ever so slightly. […]
This was the third time I’ve made it up to the Olympic National Park in Washington. It’s a large park where everything seems to be an hour away, limited cell service and sparse supplies so having a daily plan is helpful navigating and time management. Staying in the town of Forks, Wa it’s hard to […]
I have spent many miles hiking around Mt. Hood and the surrounding forest over the last 7 years. I wanted to put together a collection of photographs that showed not only the variety of terrain but also how the different seasons change the landscape. I’ve read dozens of books on the area along with studying […]
Made it back to Utah in May and got to explore some new areas. I had lived here as a ski bum in 2007 – 2009 and although had a passion for hiking/ski touring never had the opportunity to explore Utah asides from the Wasatch mountain range. Spent one day going to the Antelope Island […]
Spent a few days hiking around Eastern Utah at the beginning of March. Finding the off-season the best time to visit popular destinations the daytime temps were enjoyable but the nights did reach 20 fahrenheit with some snow covered sandstone and frozen streams.

I wanted to revisit Silver Falls State Park which I had visited in April of 2018. Mid June turned out to be perfect timing with good foliage coverage and still ample water running. Some of the smaller falls on the trail were turning into a slow trickle. Did the full loop but was surprised by […]
Spring on Mount St. Helens brings clear skies and easy touring access. Starting at an elevation of around 2,600ft we made it to this peak at around 6,040ft leaving us about 2,000ft vert from the summit. Most people hike to the summit and then return down the same route. It hadn’t snowed and had been […]
