Summit of Mt Rainier; August 2014 Supermoon. My most memorable climb to date with an incredible group of guys. I had no idea that I would be greeted to this sunrise to the East, and the shadow of Mt Rainier looming behind me to the West alongside the Supermoon. Climbing without headlamps to the light of the Supermoon was a memorable experience in itself as it cast erie shadows into crevasses and played tricks on my eyes on the ice at 14,000 feet.

Toketee Falls, OR, October 2014. I will forever remember this moment. From the roar of the falls, the chilling mist awakening my senses (and obscuring my lens) and the trickle of the water negotiating the rocks beneath my feet. I returned 6 months later to find the massive log I sat on, no where in sight. A testament to the power of this majestic spot. Sadly, I also found the "trail" to this vantage point to be overused, trampled w/ various pieces of trash along the way. I question the value of social media and the negative impact its exposure can have on beautiful places such as this. I hope that all can learn the value in "leave no trace."

Sunrise on summit of Mt Rainier

Incredible experience to climb with the supermoon above lighting our steps to the summit, and watch the sun rise from the highest point in the Pacific Northwest. 8-10-14

Hard to imagine that this originally started with one droplet...

If there is anything that will get me out of bed at 3am, its a summit attempt or waterfalls in the winter. At 293', Watson Falls is the 3rd tallest falls in Oregon and one of my favorites in the area. It is absolutely breathtaking in the winter.
