POW: Ghosts in Tofino
DESCRIPTION I was trying to get a picture of the sunset in Tofino. I had found a cool rock along the coastline and I thought the picture would be better with someone standing on the rock. Seeing as I was by myself, I had to be my own subject. I still haven't...

A bunch of new trip reports are now available! I've been busy getting caught up on a bunch of older trip reports to get everything up to date, but the good news is that it's all complete! In 2014, Hilary and I took a trip through Europe and spent a few days in several...
POW: McGilvary Falls in the Crowsnest Pass
DESCRIPTION These falls are about a 10 minute walk from the highway #3 that goes through the Crowsnest Pass, where I grew up. The crazy thing is that I never knew that these falls were here until I took a caving rescue course at the beginning of the summer, and...
POW: Ice Climbing in Marble Canyon
DESCRIPTION Marble Canyon is a cool spot along Highway 93 between Banff and Radium Hot Springs. Our plan for the day was to rappel into the canyon and do some ice climbing, and then check out a small cave just downstream of where we were climbing called Tokum...

The Croatia Trip Report is Now Available! Read the full trip report for Croatia here! It's been about 2 years since my trip to Croatia so it took a bit of digging to pull all of the details and stories from my trip to Croatia out of the depths of my memory. But, all...
POW: The Blue Ice of Exit Glacier
DESCRIPTION The Exit Glacier Hike is near the town of Seward in Alaska. The first part of the hike is a bit mundane and arduous, but once you break out of the trees, the views of the glacier are awesome! The ice is incredibly blue and is a cool contrast to the...

POW: Tucker in the Sunflowers
DESCRIPTION I went out for a walk with my dog Tucker and we found a field of sunflowers on top of Sasky Mountain. He was pretty much begging me to take his picture in the field. I finally agreed, and he rolled around in the dirt and did his hair up as nice as...
POW: Exploring Havana
DESCRIPTION The streets of Havana seem to always offer photo opportunities. They are usually full of old cars, bikes, and people hanging around under the shade of the buildings to avoid the heat of the sun. This particular street was one of the side streets in...

POW: Milky Way Above the Frank Slide
DESCRIPTION I'm still working on my night and astro photography, and it's definitely a challenging type of photography. This one was taken in the Crowsnest Pass where I grew up, and the mountain in the background is Turtle Mountain, which is famous for the...
POW: Hiking the Three Sisters in Fernie
DESCRIPTION This is taken on the Three Sisters hike in Fernie BC and is the last stretch to the top. Well, not really...it's more like the part of the hike that you feel like you're 20 minutes from the top, and then you hike for another 20 minutes. And then you...
POW: Blue Door in Chefchaouen
DESCRIPTION All of the walls and doors in Chefchaouen Morocco are painted this cool blue colour. I was out exploring the city one day when I came across this one way up at the top of the hill. Now, I'm not an expert on hobbits or anything, but I know a hobbit...
POW: Biking in Squamish
DESCRIPTION The trails in Squamish are some of the best in the world and it's easy to see why. The awesome terrain makes both the riding and the photo opportunities equally awesome. PHOTO DETAILS View all...
POW: Canals of Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION On my way to Morocco, I had a layover in Amsterdam. Rather than stay around the airport for 8 hours, I decided to head out into the city and took a train to the central station. I had time to grab some lunch and take a few pictures before my flight...
POW: Snow at Lake O’Hara
DESCRIPTION To be able to get a camping spot at Lake O'hara in Yoho National Park, you have to book ahead several months. It's quite a process, but this means that once you pick your dates, you don't have any control over the weather. Unfortunately for us, we...
POW: Driving in Denali National Park
DESCRIPTION Denali is definitely one of my favourite national parks that I've ever been to. There's something about it that's completely rugged and untameable. It's unique because there is only one road in and out of the park that cuts right through the middle....
POW: Leaving the Bugaboos
DESCRIPTION The bugaboos are only about 4 hours from where I grew up, but it's taken me 25 years to finally make the trip to see them. I seem to have a serious problem of always finding more places to explore than I have time for. So my list of places to see...
