The Way
The Milky Way above the perfect camp in the Sisters Wilderness, Oregon
The Leprechaun Field 2
You'd jump if you were here for sunset.
The Sea
The Oregon Coast at sunset. What more is there to say.
Within Reach
The final push to the Pearly Gates and the sumit of Mount Hood, Oregon
The Trail
One of Oregon's many trails through lush forest.
Mountain of the Gods

Where does that road go? Lets go find out!
The final walk
The final push to the summit of South Sister, Oregon
Morning Vibes
Doggo not so happy to get out of bed
Good Friends, Moderate Coffee

Friends for Life
Relationships are built in the mountains, even the ones with our four legged friends.

Sleeping below Mt. Rainier
A quiet (and very cold) winter's night below Mount Raniner.
Dragontail Peak
The ski track over Colchuck lake beneath Dragontail Peak. Enchantments, WA
This area swarmed with hikers in the summer is rarely traveld to in winter. A longer apporach, cold weather, and deep snow keep out all but the most dedicated. Experiencing this landscape in winter is well worth the struggle.

Ebb and Flow

the boulder fields of Icicle

I had forgotten a tripod on
this trip, I wander the
boulder field amongst
the rapids searching for
anywhere I could
balance the camera for a long exposure.

Camp at sunset durring the retreat of a four day storm. Mount Baker, WA
The sky finally broke through the storm allowing us to head for the summit. The weather window was short lived; the following morning brough more rain and snow signaling our retreat from the flanks of Mt. Baker.

Fresh tracks.
The product of a long day of breaking trail in the Oregon Backcountry.
This was taken at the end of the day after breaking trail through a few feet of fresh powder. Desipte how magical the day looks, most of it was spent inside the clouds in less-than-optimal navigating conditions.

Frozen road at dusk.
Some roads are only good durring the summer.
Clouds before the ascent
Climbing starts early. Dawn over a Cascade Volcano.
Succulent in crack
Details. These small succulents often go unnoticed.
The Alpinist
Fern over creek
The green of the Northwest and the namesake Cascades of the Range.
After summiting Mt. Baker, I drove Highway 2 into Leavenworth, WA and spent two days alone hiking and photographing the Enchantments. After waking up at 4am, I spent the better part of an hour resting by this creek after the first 4 miles.

Morning clouds before ascent of Mt. Bake
Another dawn looking at the summit looming far in the distance.
Trail to the sky
The moraine of the Emmons Glacier on Mt. Baker leading deeper into the range.
This photo capures why I venture into the mountians. Almost all my photos from Mt. Baker were taken in one 24 hour weather window. This photo looking into the heart of the Cascades at sunset reminds me there is always something more, in life and in the mountains; it is only a glimpse of what is to come.
