1000 Islands

I was back East in July for a good friends wedding and enjoyed a great visit at home. Jasper is the newest addition to the family... he's pretty much the man!

Chicago

I extended a work trip to Chicago in July... spent a couple extra days exploring the city and even made it to Wrigley Field for a Cubs game

Millenium Park

Yoho

Kara and I spent a very extended weekend in Yoho near Field, BC. We hiked a bunch.... and managed to fit in an epic (mis)adventure as well as a visit with friends in Golden and a side trip to Lake Louise.

Takkakaw Falls - we camped right by the river at the base of these falls.... and had amazing weather every day.

Kicking Horse

Lake O'hara - getting here was easy.... our alternate trail down turned into a bit of work... but it was super fun nonetheless.

Moraine Lake - we had a nice rest day in the Lake and had breakfast at Laggan's and toured around...

This ones not very clear, but this was on our descent along Cataract Creek

Alaska Range

Jen and I lucked out with some clear skies and a great flight around the Alaska Range, courtesy of Talkeetna Air Taxi

We got a little glimpse of a very big range - including McKinley, Hunter, and Foraker, amongst other incredible peaks.


pretty epic!

We were spoiled with a landing on the Buckskin Glacier - Bear's tooth and Moose's tooth in the background ~ This was the highlight for me.




Just enough of a peek to guarantee a return trip!
