Cascade Range Drama
Jagged mountain peaks form an impermeable wall. Thankfully, I do not need to hike over those peaks to get on the other side – Mt. Rainier National Park. (Sunrise, Washington) ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 123mm f/9.0 1/320sec iso-100

Colorado’s Front Range Peaks
Looking across to Colorado’s Front Range peaks and the Continental Divide from Second Creek Trail – Arapaho National Forest. I feel like you could almost hear the sound of music coming from these hills. (Winter Park, Colorado) ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 55mm f/22 1/100sec iso-100

Abandoned in New Mexico
Wouldn’t you just love to know the stories held within the walls of these rugged buildings? (Capulin, New Mexico) ≡Canon R5/RF24-240 198mm f/22 1/640sec iso-1250

High Alpine Waterfalls in Glacier National Park
Ample summer rains supply the high alpine streams and waterfalls just east of the Continental Divide at Logan Pass – Glacier National Park. As I was setting up for this shot, I saw three distinct flows of water. The long ribbon coming down the entire picture. The two little twins in the center. And then…

Alaska Railroad’s Great Rivers and Mountains
Crossing scenic rivers and mountains, the Alaska Railroad between Anchorage and Denali travels up from sea level to within eyesight of the highest point in North America. I have many great shots from the Alaska Railroad, but this is one of my favorites. Just something about the width of the river, flowing with rigor, yet…

Lake McDonald Fleet Ready for Adventure
The fleet has completed its work for the day, and everyone seems ready to once again carry park visitors to new adventures on Lake McDonald in the morning – Glacier National Park. Many times, I find the images I take when the sky is gray, and the sun is hidden, can bring an alternative mood…

Mountains Emerge Above Glacier’s St. Mary Lake
The sun and mountains begin to emerge late in the afternoon following a day of rain at this overlook of St. Mary Lake near the east end of the Going-to-the-Sun Road – Glacier National Park. I wasn’t sure we would get to see the mountains at all this day, but often after a storm is…

Jagged Peaks of the Cascade Range
The forest and a few lesser peaks of the Cascade Range within Mt. Rainier National Park. While the main attraction in the park is the grand, 14,000-foot “active volcano at rest,” the lush green of the meadow and trees with snow on the peaks made this shot one I could not pass up. (Sunrise, Washington)…

Denali! “The High One!”
“The High One.” Deenaalee, in the language of the native Alaskan Koyukon. At 20,308′ above sea level, a look at the highest point in North America as seen from the Savage Alpine Trail, nearly 60 miles distant. Since only 30% of the visitors to this area get to see the mountain because of clouds and…
