Spires & Lakes, Cascades & Caves: An Uncharted Mountaineer's Loop

December 8, 2021

Dramatic peaks towered in the distance and a huge waterfall plummeted into the open grassland, wild flowers and birds thriving in this small ecosystem. Tracing the source of the waterfall on Google Maps revealed a small, bright blue pool (tarn) at the base of jagged, black cliffs. Again, I could find very few photographs of the area and I was immediately intrigued.

Sufferfest 2020 - Alpine Lakes Wilderness

March 21, 2021

My buddy called me up and told me about this beautiful spot in the Alpine Lakes backcountry and getting there would take about 4 days. Apparently, there was an infinity pool, thousands of feet above two alpine lakes. “You have to see it to believe it” he said. He also told me it was gonna suck getting there.

Hiva Oa - French Polynesia Part 1

February 3, 2020

My French Polynesia honeymoon blog! We did things a little different. Known as one of the most remote island chains in the world, the Marquesas rise dramatically from the South Pacific, their jutting rock formations and lush jungles beckoning adventurers and explorers alike. We planned for 8 months before embarking on the trip of our lives.

Secret Waterfall - Moon Pass, Idaho

July 29, 2019

Years ago, while searching for local waterfalls, I stumbled on a picture of this spot. I didn’t fully believe it was in Idaho because of the moss and height, usually that’s a good sign its further west in Oregon or Washington. But then I saw some photos from a local photographer that said otherwise. Since then, I’ve been committed to finding this beautiful mossy grotto.

Mt. Whitney Summit via the Mountaineers Route - The Ultimate Hike

October 14, 2018

First pioneered by John Muir in 1873, this straight shot for Whitney's summit is 9 miles round-trip with over 6000 feet of elevation gain. That's 6000 feet in 4.5 miles. And to top it off, a good 40% of the route is steep talus and skree.
