Random Scenic Shots

SE BC….some of the most accessible but wild, incredibly beautiful scenery in North America. We’ve come across grizzlies several times while exploring the back roads here, as well as the rarely seen mountain caribou. Great hot springs too.



Two great routes in the Kootneys.

Old rugged logging road past Trout Lake where the famed Gerrard Trout can be found…



North of Nelson, up and through some old mining districts with remnants of the same visible from the road.

Had a short work commute from Anchorage to the North Slope over the weekend that provided some opportunity for some scenic shots


Susitna River north of Talkeetna


Denali National Park entrance area. Mt Healy left, Sugarloaf right, Nenana River below


Leaving Nenana, Denali visible (slightly, center horizon) through the distance. Roughly 110mi away


Yukon River at the Dalton Highway crossing


Continuing up towards Coldfoot (runway visible center) and the Brooks Range


Chimney Mountain, inside Gates of the Arctic NP


Coming down the north side of Naqsralagiaq Pass towards the North Slope, Gates of the Arctic NP

I'm in the Andes Mountains of Chile and the views are incredible! 🏔️ The weather’s been perfect for trekking—sunny, cool, and clear skies. I went on a trek through the rocky trails today and had a great time. Huge thanks to my local guide from GoWithGuide Chile for making the experience even better!

Where in the Andes? I attempted Aconcagua 10 years ago and part of my heart still lives in that region. Spectacular mountain range.


Meanwhile….

Took a hike this afternoon, the big mountain was out. Often it’s obscured by heat haze, fog banks or low clouds, so this was a treat.

And as a contrast, the Canning Stock Route in Australia....

Speaking of Big Mountains…

From my ride to work Wednesday morning

i’m staying put for a while here so i’ve got some time to do more volunteer work at the old historic farmstead. we’ve been working on the sawmill, doing general maintenance, cutting and baling hay and weeding the big community garden.






(the roof of the building you see on the top of the picture is the meeting room and museum, the only modern building on the farm property. We are adding a new orchard this year to expand the old Apple Orchard, with some new varieties. We are also expanding the garden area down the hill from and behind the big barn)

it seems a bit hotter and dry up here this summer so far




Last year, things were a bit greener.

but we have plenty of places to cool off on a hot day because we have three lakes here, two shallow inlets or bays, and plenty of cold ocean accessible on top of that!
