Imagery Update

The June issue of Backpacker is out now, and I have a small photo featured in the "New Trips Near You" section, spotlighting the Dog Mountain trail. One of the more popular spring hikes on the Washington side of the Gorge, Dog Mountain offers one of the better wildflower displays, along a steep, 3-mile trail to the summit; with a nice 7-mile loop option. See the GPS track and more photos of this hike at Backpacker.com.

Its been a while since I've posted a photo update, and I have quite the backlog of images to get posted up to the site. In the recent months, I've been quite busy with additional projects, including writing several articles for the Washington Trails Assn.'s magazine, Washington Trails, as well as working on new GPS tracks for Backpacker.com, and a brand new assignment for Backpacker magazine. I've also been experimenting with a new HDR program - PhotoMatix Pro - to breathe new life into some of my images.

Here's a sampling of new imagery that I'm still working on...

• Maui, HI: hiking, whales, etc. (in progress)
• Crater Lake, OR: winter snowshoe
• Forest Park, OR: local trails
• Columbia Gorge, OR: Wauna & Mitchell Point hikes
• Siouxon Creek, WA: falls trail
• Falls Creek, WA: falls loop

Coming soon will be a selection of trails and images from the Central Oregon area, including Smith Rock, The Badlands, Tumalo Falls, and Dome rock. And as the snows clear and higher trails start drying out, look for images from trails in the Clackamas Foothills and the southern Mt. Hood area.

And JMT is coming...
