4 13ers and 5 14ers on a possible backpacking trip in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.
Starting to think about packing into Pine Creek/Missouri Basin in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness for some 13ers and 14ers in June.

Deep-blue Slocan Lake reflects the sky between patches of ripples, while the green forested slopes of snow crowned peaks raise up from its shores.

Looking down past scraggly trees on the steep slope, light breezes on Slocan Lake make small ripples on the water surface.

Small colored tick marks change several thick black sharpie lines into a mountain landscape.
Just trying a few things out with markers yesterday. Originally was going to do some sort of abstract piece but then this happened.

Clouds cover the sky over Kootenat Lake, casting shadows on the pine forested mountains. The sun has almost set over the mountains, shining on the beach.
I have updated my profile cover photo to sunset on Kootenay Lake, Lockhart Beach Provincial Park, British Columbia. 🇨🇦 02Jul2024

Pine forests rise up on each side of Kootenay Lake, while the rippled water surface reflects the puffy white clouds and blue sky. In the foreground is the railing of the ferry I was on.

Porters on Kilimanjaro giving us a send-off for our last day on the mountain. Without these amazing men, we wouldn't have made it up to Uhuru Peak, 5895m (19,342ft).

An alpine meadow on the south side of the ridge at 4,000m+ (13,000ft+) abruptly drops off with rugged rock formations and lingering snow on the north side. The saddle of the ridge is at 12,669ft while the next high point is at 13,168ft.
This is one of my favorite background photos for my work laptop. The ridge to UN13168, 4013.6m (13,168ft), coming down from Baldy Cinco, 4081m (13389ft). The saddle is 3861.8m (12,670ft). The alpine meadow was full of wildflowers. 22Jun2023

A bleached post sticks out of the summit cairn of Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft), the southern most 13er of the Sawatch Range. With the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon, dust in air in the north end of the San Luis Valley reflects the blue sky. The road in the lower right corner goes Bonanza, and the trailhead for the traditional route. The nontraditional route- and better route in my opinion- starts at Marshall Pass and cuts off the Colorado Trail.
Looking southeast from the summit of 13er Antora Peak, 4044.4m (13,269ft). Beyond the next ridge is the north end of the San Luis Valley, the Sangre de Cristo range on the horizon.

Small violet flowers growing in the rocks around 3500m (11,500ft) on Idaho's Borah Peak, 3859m (12,660ft).
Some sort of milkvetch? I will always welcome help identifying the flowers that I post.

North side of Mt St Helens. Sometime in June 2010. My parents came out west to visit me after I returned from Iraq and we went exploring. This was a few weeks before my first hike up to the crater rim.
