The Chiricahua National Monument doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This park has one of the most unique landscapes filled lichen-covered stone towers that seem to defy all forces of nature.

One of my favorite places outside of Flagstaff, AZ is the extinct cinder cone volcano you see here. It has been uniquely eroded to produce a chamber o

Some of the strangest rock formations I've seen are located here in this isolated part of northwest New Mexico. This rock grouping in particular drew my attention with it's banded color and almost skeletal appearance. Does it look like a fish? A

The best part about peakbagging is those rocky scambles.

A little oasis in the desert of southern Utah. I decided to bear the heat and tack on one last hike during my trip to this area late last spring. This

A hazy evening near our camp in Kings Canyon National Park. We had attempted to summit this peak earlier the same afternoon but were too exhausted from our previous couple days of backpacking where we ascended 7,346ft on a single day alone. The next morni

The standard route up Grand Teton. Excellent scrambling and low 5th class terrain for the last 2,000ft.

This was one of those days I thought just wouldn't work out. 10 minutes after I arrived the sun was obscured behind a massive cloud that stretched to the horizon. An hour later I was blessed with 10 minutes of beautiful light.

The remains of an ancient settlement called Wupatki lie just to the northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. There are several ruins within the park. Some are multilevel with several different rooms while others are smaller and more humble such as this one.

Every person I've shared this photo with has been shocked that it was taken in New Mexico. The mountains in the northern part of the state are tr

An absolute dreamscape in the Cascades - Living in the southwest, I don't get to witness glaciers often. Seeing these had me completely astounded and wanting to take photos from every angle.

The Road to Adventure

This peak lies nestled within Colorado's largest aspen grove. An impressive 30 mile stretch of gold and yellow that'll blow you away if you get the chance to witness it.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is really a special place. We had just finished climbing an impressive peak within the monument and were hiking back when this beautiful organ pipe cactus framed itself beautifully.

The world's longest slot canyon located in Arizona. No shortage of these incredible views like this!

Nature lines up perfectly in the Windows District.
