A Scottish Christmas

Sarah has been in Scotland for the better part of two years now attending graduate school at the University of Glasgow. As if we needed an excuse to go to Scotland

On getting engaged

I just asked Lisa Benson to marry me!

A photo-essay of two and a half years leading up to our getting engaged.

North Shore of Oahu

Lisa and I got an invite to a wedding in Hawaii. As if there couldn't be a better excuse to go to Hawaii........

The Wasatch Twins

Don't look down

Lisa and I were kinda thinking it was time to bag a peak

Mt. Nebo Wilderness

The view that captured my attention

Mt. Nebo, highest peak in the Wasatch at 11,928'. I'm not sure how anybody can drive past this mountain without wanting for it's summit.

High Uinta Wilderness; Four lakes Basin

Off trail camp in Naturalist Basin

Wild Yellowstone

Lisa and I keep a bucket list. On that list is a trip that has been very idealistic to me. I never really thought it'd happen. The reason that it's on our list is because I've read that it's a great place to see Grizzly bears, and hear the Wolves. I've also read that it's as wild now, as it ever was, thanks to over a decade of preservation by the National Park Service.

Lake Blanche

I wanted the first real trip of the year into the higher terrain of the Wasatch to be

Maybird Lake

Maybird Lake & Pfeifferhorn

Table Mountain Wilderness

If Winnie the Pooh is alive and well anywhere in the world; it must be that he lives in the fairy tale aspen glades of Table Mountain Wilderness in central Nevada.

Alta-Toquima Wilderness

Alta-Toquima Wilderness in central Nevada has been on our bucket list for a good while. I guess it was on the list for a bunch of reasons; it's remote as hell, it's high altitude, there's some cool archeology, it's a designated wilderness, the aspen trees are always a plus, and it just looks cool on the map, and from the big valleys below.

San Rafael Swell: Mexican Mt. Wilderness

I've been thinking about what to name a loop like this and can't come up with anything that makes any sense so that's fine.

Republica Dominicana

Lisa and I recently returned from 3 weeks in the Dominican Republic.
