Alpenglow: An Optical Phenomenon

Alpenglow The way a sun sets seems to be different everywhere you go. The colors more saturated, the golden hour just a bit longer, the translucent hues playing across cloud covers. Each sunset feels like a finger print of the Earth, unique and different in nuanced ways. The same goes for alpine sunsets. These sunsets seem to have a burning glow that blanket the [...]

    Favorite Backpacking Recipes This group enjoys a warm meal after a long day You’ve probably done it before, spent your entire backcountry trip eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, oatmeal, and ramen.

No matter how ultra-lightweight your pack is, your body still needs to be able to handle hiking long days, gaining elevation, and enduring the elements. The miles won’t hike themselves. Being physically prepared is key in order to make the most out [...]

          Sleeping on a Glacier

          Sleeping on a Glacier An Ice Climbers Dream Sleeping on a glacier is a fabled experience for many.

            Backpacking in the Rain

            Backpacking in the Rain Some of my very best and very worst backpacking memories have been in rainy weather. The difference between them: preparation.

              Experiencing a Glacier by Helicopter Drop-Off
