After The Blizzard

New snow for Martin Luther King Day weekend, and I managed to sneak into my friend’s hut trip. We hiked into a small hut behind the hills of Vail Pass for the weekend for some ski touring under the blood moon. This “remote hut” had all of the comforts of home, with electricity, full on… Read More After The Blizzard

Ski Mountaineering In Colorado

  We took advantage of the new snow in the jagged Indian Peak Mountains of Colorado to do some ski photography. The hiking took over 5 hours, but was worth it for the fantastic ski and lighting conditions. Taking pictures was difficult, as there was always the time constraint of the sun, and patience of… Read More Ski Mountaineering In Colorado

When You Really Shouldn’t Rock Climb

    Sandstone cliffs rose above us on either side like some mystical natural highway. We were walking through an ancient oasis in the middle of the desert, with pools of trees who’s leaves were shimmering under a light breeze. Perched on the sides of cliffs were the remains of some ancient Native American cliff dwellings.… Read More When You Really Shouldn’t Rock Climb

How to Benefit From Scary Travel Situations

Sunbeams worked their way through the small leafy openings in the palm trees that lined the edge of the airport exit, forming shadowy, thought-like patterns on the pavement below. I stood in the shade of the airport terminal with my backpack, and a sense of anxious fear weighing me down. Watching the patterns of sunlight… Read More How to Benefit From Scary Travel Situations

How to Survive a Third World Riot

When my Father, Sister, and I were caught in a traffic jam in the Dominican Republic, the last thing I would have thought was starting this jam would be a riot. I was convinced that it was a farmer herding his cows until I heard an alarming series of gunshots. Then the police run to… Read More How to Survive a Third World Riot

The Hoodoo Basin

“This has to be the most appropriate way to see something called the Hoodoo Basin.” I said to Kyle as we began our trek up the mountain leading to the basin. The wind was howling over the peaks and through the valleys. It felt like we were walking into Mordor. It was noon. A storm… Read More The Hoodoo Basin
