Cute little black bear just outside Glacier National Park! (Photographed at 600mm, I wasn't as close as it looks) 😎

Fall colors in the alpine! Climbed that beast the next day, and MAN it was humbling. Wheeler Peak stands just a hair over 13000 feet. Think my quads are still toast. 😂

Been a minute since I've done a #RockinTuesday! I have no idea what slab of rock this is, but it's in Glacier National Park just west of Logan Pass. The weather was pretty badass!

Moody morning in Glacier National Park for this #MountainMonday! This is Grinnell Point, across from Swiftcurrent Lake.

#MountainMonday is always one of my faves! Going back to January with this one - Telescope Peak in #DeathValley reflected in a flooded Badwater Basin. 🥰

It’s #NationalParkWeek, and the NPS is turning 110 this year! Here’s one of my fave images from the last park I visited - this was a stellar morning at Artists Palette in Death Valley last January. Literally had the entire area to myself to enjoy!

And it's #Stunday, baby! For this week, we're off to Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Hell of a view, right!

When the Valley of Fire gives you this backdrop, you better make a dramatic entrance!

Celebrating #WaterfallWednesday with Nancy! A little scrambling and some bushwhacking to get to these falls, but it’s all part of the adventure. 😎 @ndu1.bsky.social

Ahhhhh, from Crater Lake a couple summers back. Had this shot pre-visualized for years before that!

That time I backpacked to Mt Assiniboine in a Britney Spears shirt, and I got a sick calf pump. 💪💪 (Not sure how the two are actually related, but….)

Cool pano of the sunrise over Manzanita Lake and Mt Lassen, in Lassen Volcanic National Park!

Ahhhhh, something about the night sky, right! The setup on the left, and the final shot on the right. This was at Lassen Volcanic National Park in Cali. That's Mt Lassen of course, standing tall above a frozen Lake Helen. (And yes, it was COLD!!) 🥶 #StarTrails #MtLassen #NationalParks #NightSky

Love me some badass mountain weather! This is Mt. Washington, in Oregon. I think whoever named it was slightly confused and/or inebriated. (Not sure how the Central Oregon beer scene was way back then!) 🍺 #MountainMonday

This is Artist’s Palette in #DeathValley, where the hills explode in surreal shades of teal, purple, and rust. But this isn’t just pretty… it’s geology in action. Proof that rocks aren’t boring… they just needed better lighting. (This pre-sunrise lighting was pretty sweet!) #RockinTuesday

One of my older photos for #MountainMonday! That's Brokeoff Mountain on the left, and Mt. Diller in front of it (those are the remains of the ancient #MtTehama), shot from high up on #MtLassen. Pretty sure this was the first #NationalPark I visited, actually!

I was walking along the beach in Waikiki, and I got to see the rare Hawaiian Monk Seal! Note: I didn't throw rocks at it, gloat about being rich enough to pay the fine (they're federally protected), then have the shit beaten out of me by the locals, and then arrested. (IYKYK) High five for me! 😎
