Packrafting Gates of the Arctic

A packrafting and backpacking trip in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska...this was epic.

Beartooth Plateau

The Beartooth Plateau competes with the Winds and the Sierra Nevadas as the prettiest mountain range in North America. Add it to your bucket list.

The Wind River Range is an incredible trip and its iconic granite basins and glaciers are a bucket list hike.

Banff and Jasper

Want to fill up a 32GB memory card with pictures? Then take a trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks. The mountains and glaciers and lakes and rivers will leave you inspired.

Coyote Gulch

Coyote Gulch is a classic southern Utah backpacking trip. The desert walking, the arches, and the deep canyon work together to make this one of the best backpacking trips in southern Utah.

Happy Canyon

Amazing views of the Dirty Devil River and Robber's Roost, mounds of petrified wood, and a nice slot canyon make Happy Canyon an outstanding hike.

New Zealand

New Zealand was one of those perfect outdoor vacations. With mountains and glaciers and fjords and oceans and huts and nice people, New Zealand simply can't be beat.

Needles

The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park offers some of the best backpacking in southern Utah. I have found many hidden gems throughout this area that have left me awe struck.

The Maze

The Maze District of Canyonlands is guarded by rough and long four wheel drive roads. But the remoteness and beauty make it worth every bit of the effort.
