I learned about an iconic chapel in Beaver Creek this week. President Gerald R. Ford was instrumental in constructing this wonderful building. I had the opportunity to talk with the caretaker of the Chapel, a man named Rob, I apologize if I am remembering his name incorrectly. He told me a lot about the history …
This past Thursday I was talking with Ed Dent, MD, a primary care doctor here in Eagle. We were talking cycling, of course :), and places to ride here in Eagle county. One of the rides we talked about is a nice loop ride. This ride starts in Eagle and heads east down Highway 6 to where it meets Highway …
Well, I got through another section of photographs from my weekend in Arches National Park. It has been fun editing them, although a much longer process than anticipated. I’ve liked many more than the 47 I’ve included in this post, but consider these to be some of the best. As I said in the last …
So spent some time this evening going through some of the 500 photographs I took on my weekend getaway to Arches National Park. With a storm front moving through the area the sky was amazing! I love all of the detail on this sandstone boulder. This arch is Landscape arch. When I took the photograph …
At Exit 121 on I-70 is the Grizzly Creek rest area and trailhead. This is a great hike that traverses up the canyon along side of the creek. Sign with map of the canyon trail. View from the parking lot looking up canyon. My destination for the day hike was the diversion dam and the water pipe …
In between Eagle Colorado and Glenwood Springs Colorado is a popular day hike off from the Colorado river. The Hanging Lake hike is so popular that in the summer it can be difficult to find or ever get a parking spot, and if the lot is full you will be turned around at the entrance. …
On Saturday I rented a car, the tires on mine are bald….., and drove down to Moab Utah and Arches National Park to see one of my good friends from Yreka, Don Hill. This was a short mile long hike down a valley towards the spires in the background. At this point I was hiking by …
On our way over to the coast we stopped at Jedediah State Park and went to Stout Grove to see the Redwoods. Well it was raining hard and so I went for a walk around the grove while Taunya waited in the car reading her book :). ISO 100, 24mm, f/6.3, 1.0 sec I was …
My time here in Yreka is getting very short, and there are still so many things I would like to get out and photograph before I leave. So, on Sunday afternoon I convinced my friend Linda to come photographing with me. Our end goal was the waterfall below, Fall Creek Falls. She was a good …
ISO 100, 120mm, f/5.6, 1/200 sec We were blessed with two beautiful sunsets this past weekend over on the coast, with Saturday and Sunday both providing us with a great sunset. As I take and process sunset photographs I try to do one of two things. I either concentrate on an area of the sky …
ISO 100, 24mm, f/5.6, 1/160 sec In an effort to photograph more of the awesome waterfalls of the area before I move in a couple of months I hiked to Burstarse Falls on Saturday…….well, to where Burstarse Falls is located anyway. You access the PCT to get to this waterfall from a trail called the …
This past Saturday after I failed to find where the rest of my com padres were taking photographs I ended up at Greenhorn park. My initial intent was to take some photographs of the park features that could be used in the Yreka Chamber visitors guide. I took the usual walk down the old mining …
