Your Bio

Hi, welcome to the home for my photos. I created this site to share with friends and family and to organize my photos, which hold a lot of memories for me.

There are two kinds of galleries here. Some are essentially trip reports and vacation albums, while others are collections of my favorite landscape photos. I am still in the process of creating new galleries for both my oldest and newest trips, and for new landscape themes.

Featured Galleries

Mountains : Since I have a separate gallery for snowy mountains, this one focuses on more-or-less unsnowy photos of mountains.

2008 05 31 North Timpanogos / Cold Fusion Couloir : This peak has always been on my list, especially since I decided to complete all the Wasatch 11,000' peaks.  And I've wanted to climb and ski it by the Cold Fusion Couloir route ever since I heard about that earlier this year.  Walter and I met at an hour that would be obscene to admit to, and drove up American Fork Canyon.  We hiked 5 miles by headlamp to where Cold Fusion Couloir intersects the closed Timpooneke road, put on crampons, and climbed 3,000 vertical feet in a mile to the impressive and beautiful summit of North Timpanogos.  We returned the same way, Walter glissading and I skiing.  I could not ski from either the true summit or the subpeak where Cold Fusion tops out because both were too rocky, but I put the skis on as soon as I could; the interesting first few turns were on 45+º snow in narrow bands between bare talus fields.  The 5-mile hike back to the car was something we just wanted to be over with.

Canyonlands, Presidents Day 2008 : We went to Island in the Sky this time to spend 3 nights and do all the day hikes we hadn't yet done in that area (i.e. all but Syncline Loop).  Due to icy trail conditions, we ran out of hikes and spent the last night in Moab instead, but still had a great time and enjoyed a lot of beautiful views.
