"I've always wanted to see a glacial lake. One day I was researching online locations of these glacial lakes besides Canada. As soon as I saw that there are a few in the Eastern Sierras, I knew I had to see it for myself.

We really didn't know what we were in for. And the locals warned us about the bear activity.

Needless to say, we made it to the First Lake and decided it would be our basecamp for the next 3 days. This photo was taken the following morning at sunrise.

The rest was just amazeballs."

Ribbons A Flame

An extraordinary moment captured as the fire paints ribbons of life on a starry night in the Cherokee National Forest.

Cup Comfort

A hot cup of coffee is the perfect compliment to this Royal Basin tentview in Olympic National Park.
