I got to Death Valley last night. The winds were so high I had to sleep in the front seat of my car instead of my tent! Despite a bit of discomfort, the sunrise this morning was amazing. Pyramid Peak gains 3600 ft in less than two miles; it's quite steep - but worth the effort. I love this place. #deathvalley #hiking #peakbagging...

Saturday was the perfect day to bag Ontario Peak. The IE and Santiago Peak are in the distance. Bec wasn't feeling great, but she crushed it anyway. Really proud of her. #hiking #ontariopeak #cucamongawilderness...

To all who served, thank you for your service. We will never take the gift of your service for granted....

Bec and I did an amazing trip to Banff this summer. This place is truly an "enchanted forest." Of the 70 miles of hiking we did, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were some of the highlights of the trip. Absolutely stunning scenery. #banff #hiking...

Bec and I passed 37 Years of marriage this year. Wow. I can't even say that number without doing a double-take. Got to keep that spark alive. Got her a big fat ring this year. I think that helped :)...

Wes and I did the last hike of the season to the summits of Mount Gilbert and Moonshot Peak, from the South Lake Trailhead, just outside Bishop. Mount Johnson looms ominously in the background. I didn't have the nerve to climb that sharp ridge this year, but I plan on it in 2025. #easternsierra...

Fall colors in the Sierras this year were amazing! I took these on a 3-day solitude retreat I did at North Lake, just outside Bishop, CA. I got up before dawn one morning, and to my surprise, there were 20 photographers standing around in the dark, waiting for sunrise. Clearly, it was worth the wait. #easternsierra...

Epic adventures on Bear Creek Spire!...
