“Traveling overland might be the best way to experience a country like Iceland. In the summer, especially in June, constant daylight gives you the option to keep going, 24 hours a day.

In this particular instance, I was in between destinations, had been driving for 7 hours, and had no idea it was 10pm. Hit with a wave of exhaustion, I pointed the Land Rover down the next dirt road to find a place to sleep.

After I took this picture, there weren't 60 seconds before I was fast asleep - already dreaming about where I might end up tomorrow."

Bridger-Teton National Forest is a great option for free camping with sought-after skies.

Twin Lakes Night Sky

These campers learned a valuable lesson in the San Isabel National Forest: always have the camera ready due to Mother Nature’s unpredictability.

The reward for ultra-light packing means on-demand immaculate skies, like seen here at Todos Santos in Baja California.
