What better combination is there than travel and photography? I rode the telepherique to Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, France, strapped on my crampons and hiked to the Cosmique alpine hut for these incredible views of the mountains around Mont Blanc.

Hueco Tanks, TX is one of the best bouldering areas in the country. It’s a great winter destination for climbing, with sunny desert weather. Here are a few shots I took of the Cassin Domino bouldering crash pad, along with some of the local scenery.

A wheel-gripping, icy drive through Colorado’s mountains rewarded me with these majestic views of Monarch Pass and Telluride, Colorado.

Alaska has unrivaled quiet beauty and sure adventure, two things that made me jump out of bed with the morning sun. These photos were taken in the back country near Seward, where I encountered golden eagles, a black bear crossing a stream, orca whales, sea lions and (to my surprise) jelly fish! Seward is surrounded by mountains, glaciers and dreamy clouds. Here’s to a Happy New Year filled with new beauty and new adventures!

On some of my recent travels I hiked at Mt. Whitney in California, the highest peak in the lower 48 states. Here are a few photographs I took on and around the Mt. Whitney Portal area. While I was hoping for some dramatic clouds (like in the ever-changing Colorado skies), the crisp blue skies were still stunning next to this incredible range.
