DESCRIPTION   The walk up the Narrows of Zion is exceptional. My friend Ryan and I spent a few days exploring Zion and on the first day we ran out of time to check out the narrows. The next day it rained a bit and turned the water a milky brown colour and, while...

DESCRIPTION   I've lived in Fernie for just over a year now, and one thing that I've come to appreciate is that the fall colours here are exceptional. Because Fernie doesn't get a ton of wind and there are a lot of Tamarack trees, the colours hang around on the...

DESCRIPTION   I wish I knew who the guy in this photo was, but sadly, I don't. In fact, shortly after taking this photo, my friend Riley and I, journeyed up to the same exact spot that he is standing in this photo. Only, when we got there he was nowhere to be...

DESCRIPTION   Sunrise at the top of a mountain has to be one of the more special things that you can witness. Not that it's any different than sunrise on a beach, or in the middle of a field, because those are great too. Actually, let's rewind. Sunrise on top of...

DESCRIPTION   My favourite area of Utah was the Jacob Hamblin arch down the Hole in the Rock Road. It was such an incredible sight and way better than I'd ever imagined. I saw some photos of it before heading there with my friend Ryan, but it was much larger and...

DESCRIPTION   The Singapore bay area is one of my favourite areas of any city. Maybe because I'm a kid inside and love the shining lights, colourful buildings, the gardens by the bay, the laser shows, and of course, the ferris wheel. But really, how much better...

DESCRIPTION   Before leaving New Zealand, Hilary and I took one last road trip around the entire south island. There were a few areas along the west coast that we had never visited before, even though we had spent a fair amount of time travelling around while we...

DESCRIPTION   The limestone cliffs rising out of the ocean in Ha Long bay are some of the most iconic in the world. We decided to visit this area during our time in Vietnam on one of our last days before flying out of Hanoi. This dock was actually where we...

DESCRIPTION   Everyone has seen the photos of Multnomah falls in Oregon (you know, the one with the bridge and such), but how about Latourell falls just down the road? It's such a cool spot and easy to get to. The water pours off a big cliff with basalt columns...

DESCRIPTION   While the overall landscape in Utah is amazing and it's filled with stunning vistas and grand views, I was most blow away by all of the smaller details. Like the patterns in the rocks, or the shifting colours of the light, or in this case, the fine...

DESCRIPTION    Riding into the Sunset - The Ghostrider on Mount Hosmer is an iconic and easily recognizable symbol of Fernie. I've tried many times to get a photo of it, but usually with no luck. This past September, I ventured out to try once again and was...

DESCRIPTION   Hanoi's old quarter is quite famous for its narrow streets and old buildings. It's designed around a merchant city in that all of the streets are named after the goods that used to be found on that street. For example, there would be a street filled...

DESCRIPTION   One morning, I snuck out bright and early to catch the first light coming up over the peaks in my hometown of the Crowsnest Pass. While I did succeed in that part, what I didn't succeed in was staying warm. Sweet baby jesus it was cold. I remember...

DESCRIPTION   I could not get over the colours and shapes at Nabriske Point in Death Valley. It happened to be sunset as we were driving by on our way to a campsite further into the valley so we decided to swing by. Also, they had a toilet in the parking lot...

DESCRIPTION   There is a cave that has gotten a fair amount of recognition in my home town of the Crowsnest Pass. Two friends and I were actually hired recently to explore it and take photos and video of the inside. It's highly technical to access and move around...

DESCRIPTION   Inle lake is famous for the fishermen that use the traditional basket and one legged stance. The good news here is that, instead of confusing you and trying to describe what I mean by this bizarre thing, you can simply check out the photo! Perfect!...

DESCRIPTION   Okay, the Atlanta Aquarium wasn't that Awesome at all. I'm sure as far as aquariums go, it's quite stellar. But as far as awesome things go, it was not. Now, I should backtrack a bit and tell you how I ended up here. A friend and I headed down to...

DESCRIPTION   Fall is my favourite time of year. Well besides Christmas of course. And spring is pretty great. And I also love the long days of summer. But what about the cozy warmth of being inside by the fire in the depths of winter? Fine, I clearly have some...

DESCRIPTION   For a country with as much coastline as Vietnam, we surprisingly spent a lot of time away from the coast. One of the times that we were on the coast, however, was in the northern part of Vietnam when we headed to Cat Ba Island. For a day trip, we...

DESCRIPTION   I recently got back form my first trip to Utah, with my good friend Ryan. After driving many many hours from Fernie to the southern corner of Utah, Coral Pink Sand Dunes just outside of Kanab was out first stop. Even though the dunes weren't the...

DESCRIPTION   This summer, we did a hike with some friends called Heiko's Trail. You don't have to stay overnight by any means, but it does make the hike fairly special. I've done this hike once before by myself (or as a lone wolf as I like to say so that I sound...

DESCRIPTION     Earlier in the year, I made a trip to Atlanta, Las Vegas and Death Valley with my friend Riley. On our first day in Death Valley, just before the sun was about the go down we swung into Nabriske Point. Riley had some pent up energy that was...

DESCRIPTION   Since moving back from New Zealand, I've been living in Fernie, BC. Even though I grew up just around the corner from Fernie, there are still tons of places to explore in the area that I've never had a chance to check out. One of those places is...

DESCRIPTION   I couldn't believe how much exploring the areas of Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch reminded me of Petra in Jordan. Not that I've ever actually been to Petra, but I would imagine that it would look just like this. With the tall red sandstone walls and...
