And some “behind the scenes” shots from some of the camp sites where I captured some of the scenes from yesterday’s timelapse video… As Rich and I were hiking to the arches in Rattlesnake Canyon, we were keeping an eye out for potential campsites for…
Craters of the Moon National Monument is a smallish spot in Idaho (and not really all that close to anything) that is a “vast ocean of lava flows, islands of cinder cones, and sagebrush” – and when I was there, biting cold winds and snow!…
Canyonlands National Park is only a short drive from Arches National Park and I managed to squeeze them both into one day – it was a bit rushed so I mainly focused on making sure I checked off the main highlights. Mesa Arch is one…
During a hike in Grand Mesa, I came across a couple of these strange areas of rocks. They looked like they had at one point been little ponds, but they were quite dry now… but the weird thing was that it didn’t look like the…
I’m not going to waste a ton of time typing words for the Colorado National Monument photos. I’m not even going to look up the names of some of these various rock formations. I’m just going to share these photos and know that they don’t…
My last few days in Colorado, which season I was in seemed to depend on the elevation… Just a slight difference of only a couple hundred feet made the difference between beautiful autumn among the aspens or the first snowfalls on the mountains.
Rich and I had intentionally started this hike somewhat later in the day to avoid some of the worst of the heat (that didn’t work), and we calculated that we would have plenty of time to take a leisurely pace and have no problems (that…
When I was in Palmer Lake I took a quick afternoon trip down to Garden of the Gods Park. Some of the rock formations had fun names like “Kissing Camels”, “Siamese Twins”, and “Cathedral Spires”. On top of that, the day was incredibly sunny with…
Ok – not technically on the Argentine Pass or Peak, but on the way out we passed a sign we hadn’t seen on the way in labeled “Pennsylvania Mine” and also could see a massive structure that was falling apart on the other side of…
Another stop on my drive from Florida to Colorado was Milford State Park in Kansas. This was supposed to be the fourth night of camping, all of which I had hoped would afford me the opportunity to do some timelapse photography. Unfortunately, rain and just…
Fourmile Falls is a little bit of a misnomer… the falls are only three miles in on the trail… but I guess it is named that because the creek is Fourmile Creek. Anyway, I photographed this waterfall on a hike outside of Pagosa Springs and…
On the suggestion from my friend Dawn (who was super helpful with suggestions during my time in Colorado), Rich and I backpacked into Rattlesnake Canyon for one night. Actually, I guess I should back up the story a little bit right there… We originally were…
