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 […]
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 […]
The Painted Hills in Oregon are beautiful, offering a unique look at the lands geology over millions of years. In an effort to preserve this area there are not many trails and you are required to not venture off them which in my opinion makes it kind of a boring/touristy place to photograph. (lookup the […]
It’s been a few years since I have been in Vermont during Fall Foliage or as we call it tourist season. The relationship between Vermonters and those city folk from New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York is that of love and hate. If your outside of Vermont and driving in any metro area your […]
Spent some time this summer exploring Mt. St. Helens (known as Lawetlat’la to the Indigenous Cowlitz people, and Loowit or Louwala-Clough to the Klickitat). The North side where the volcano exploded 30+ years ago is a unique look at the landscape slowly regenerating. The Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was established on August 27, 1982 by U.S. President Ronald Reagan following the 1980 eruption.[2] The 110,000 acre […]
