Photos from weekend trip.
Photos from an early spring trip to the refuge.
Hah, we had moonlight, killer city views, a blustery bluff walk and good company for the 2 hour tour of South Magnolia. No rain, painterly clouds and views far to the south and west.
Wonderful weather, nicely groomed trails, and a great attitude by all led to a great trip. We skied from Kahler Glen to Lake Wenatchee State Park and back.
Photographing lights/special effects after dark.
Car caravan around Skagit County to photography old bars/structures.
Finally got the right ice and snow conditions for this route but weather was worse than forecasted and the fair weather window did not materialize. Still a great trip with great people.
4 MAC Youth & 2 adults skied in 3.5 miles, found a great off-trail campsite, set up tents, skied out the next day
Trail hikes and off-trail exploratory hikes for winter season photography, between snowfalls, in the Painted Hills. A short-notice or spontaneous winter trip recommended for snow-accented Painted Hills.
Maps are not always as they seem.
8" of new light snow over a rock hard crust. 6.25 miles tour/ski. 2,421-ft elevation gain
Just know that this hike starts off with an immediate steep ascent. If you are not ready for that, you might be surprised, as I was.
Lead as a conditioner. Bare trail to Horese Camp, then used microspikes and snowshoes to the summit.
Trip date Feb. 20th. Winter adventure in deep snow along Rampart Ridge.
