The hike to Lake Aloha is well worth it, especially if you take the water taxi across Echo Lake to cut off a few miles. This ended up being a 13 mile hike with a few extra detours. I took the extra trip up the loose rocks to get a good view of the whole lake and Pyramid Peak hanging on to some late summer snow.
I expected it to be cold in Banff, but it was bitterly cold! This sunset was enough to convince us to go out onto the ice on Lake Louise to get some pictures, but the orange glow wasn’t enough to warm us up!
This epic sunrise is a great way to kick off a happy new year! It was a cold morning to be out at Emerald Bay but the effort paid off big time with this colorful sunrise! Here’s to all of our efforts bringing great rewards in the year ahead!
The waters of Lake Tahoe might be calm, but the storms keep coming in. The Sierra Nevadas are finally getting some much needed snow!
The rewards of skiing in Little Cottonwood Canyon are not only the fluffy Utah powder, but the sunset you are treated to on the way back down the mountain. Even though I was tired after a long day of skiing I made time to stop and appreciate this beautiful sunset.
This huge boulder has a pretty epic view of the Sierra. There’s no telling how many sunny days and storms this rock has seen in its time.
This was on the beginning of a long drive from the west side to the east side of the Sierra Nevadas. The drive ahead of me was long, but I made time to stop for this beautiful sunset!
It is raining off in the distance, but it is too late to save this dead tree. I loved the contrast of green plants, the old tree, and the clouds in the sky at this spot.
Taking a road trip now is easy. You just drive and stop a lot to take pictures. I’m pretty sure riding in this wagon came with a different set of priorities.
The skiing at Whistler was just OK this year, but the views were excellent!
