New Year's Day | Thursday, January 1, 2015 Welcome to my first trip report of 2015, and what an adventure it was! This was a fun trip report to write, not because the photos are necessarily great, but because it was a fun day in unique conditions. This may have been my tenth visit to Coyote...

After taking a few photos of the Wave we decided to head over to the Second Wave so Diane could see it and so I could see if it would be in the light this early. On the way I took this photo, which is probably my favorite from the entire day. I love the warm tones that are reflected from...

After our easy morning hike we decided to leave the park and drive up to Ruin Park, Beef Basin and Middle Park to visit a few ruins and search for some new ones. Bobby's Hole had been washed out earlier this year but had been repaired in the past few months and was in the same condition I have...

Autumnal Equinox | Fall Colors 2014 Monday, September 22, 2014 After getting home from the San Juan Mountains on Sunday, I turned my attention to photographing local fall colors this week. I did a little research online and found that the colors up on the Grand Mesa were looking pretty good...

After crossing over the pass there was some nice light on Hurricane Peak in front of us. Hurricane Peak by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr We ended up setting up camp in Gray Copper Gulch for the night. Not only is this a very beautiful place to camp, but we were also planning on climbing a peak or...

Fall Colors 2014 Saturday & Sunday, September 20-21, 2014 On Saturday, Diane and I headed back down to the San Juan Mountains again so we could climb to the top of Courthouse Mountain in the Cimarron's . While this mountain is short compared to the surrounding peaks in the area at only 12,152...

Yeah, in good conditions without any recent wash-outs it's a pretty easy road most of the way. Any high clearance 4WD should have no trouble in those conditions.

After passing the Candlestick Camp we finally entered new territory for me, as I had driven this far on my previous attempt. A few miles later we stopped at the entrance of the Holeman Slot Canyon which I had hoped to hike this trip. Unfortunately, it was pretty full of water from all the...

On Sunday morning I woke up early enough to catch the sunrise and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were still some clouds in the sky. It would be a little nicer than another morning of clear skies. I hiked to the end of the peninsula near our camp to take a few photos and then...

We eventually made it to our campsite on the Murphy Hogback and I quickly found some shade so I could take a little nap. While it was pretty hot in the direct sunlight, it was very comfortable in the shade and I slept well. When I woke up I had a little dinner and then went for a hike around...
