Of Hike-a-Thons and Toes

All things considered, the toe is a minor body part. In my day to day dwellings it gets far less attention than my hands, my stomach, or even my beard. Truth be told, I barely ever give a passing thought to the lowly toe. But where the toe takes on the utmost importance is when […]

Island Pass Timelapse

Island Pass, Ansel Adams Wilderness

Island Pass in the Ansel Adams Wilderness under during an afternoon thunderstorm. This timelapse covers a 20 minute period in the early afternoon. Just as the timelapse ended the clouds began to billow overhead and drop rain and hail. I recommend viewing full screen in HD. Music is 4th Variation from Enigma by Edward Elgar.

Taken at an unnamed spring near Furnace Creek, Death Valley National Park, California on November 15th, 2012 Death Valley is an absolutely huge park and there is much more to see and photograph than just the iconic spots.

Taken deep in the Lyell Canyon in Yosemite National Park on July 2nd, 2013. Having hiked about 8 miles into Lyell Canyon from Tuolumne Meadows I noticed beautiful Kuna Creek cascading down the eastern flank of the canyon. Thinking the creek might provide an interesting viewpoint for a photo, I waded across the (freezing) Tuolumne […]

Adventure4Life Epic Experience Challenge

Josh Cripps' Support for Epic Experience

Those who know me know that I love a good adventure. But I also love encouraging others to explore and have adventures of their own. And I don’t think that anyone should be prevented from enjoying the experience of being in nature, pushing their limits. In fact, I think it’s one of the greatest gifts […]
