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 …

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 …

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 …

ISO 400, 300mm, f/6.3, 1/1600sec Ah yes the classic photograph from Arches National Park, Delicate Arch! Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time or daylight to do the hike up to the arch itself. Fortunately I had my 300mm lens with me and was able to get a great shot of just the arch. ISO 200, …
