Album: Peru April 2006
Two weeks with Kelly in-and-around the Department of Cusco: from Cusco City, to the ruins at Choq'ekiraw near the hamlet of Cachora, and, of course, the World Heritage Site at Machu Picchu.

Album: Sept. '05: Glen Canyon National Rec. Area BACKPACKER Mag./TrimbleOutdoors Mapping Trip
The "Living Heart of Canyon Country" returns from the depths of Lake Powell. Slot canyons galore. The birthplace of the modern environmental movement. Ancient home of the Ancestral Pueblo Indians. Now, the hydroponic bank account of the Interior West.

Album: July '05: Great Sand Dunes National Park
Ascending North America's tallest dune surrounded by alpine peaks, a desert valley, and shifting mountains of sand on a 6.6-mile loop with Jesse in America's newest national park.

Album: January '06: Green Mountain via Saddle Rock and Sunset Rock
Pictures taken on Motorola i850 cameraphone (-1 MP lens) with Trimble Outdoors during an early-morning weekday hike up and around the 1st Flatiron in Boulder's jagged western skyline

Album: Oct. '05: Lake Isabelle, Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, Boulder County, CO
A dayhike with Kelly to a glacial lake nestled beneath the Continental Divide

Album: June '05: Boulder's postcard Flatirons from the topside
A solo hike where I looped around Devil's Thumb to South Boulder Peak (8,549 ft.) and then over to Bear Peak (8,461 ft.)

Album: June '05: Bison Peak Scouting Trip, Lost Creek Wilderness Area
Tucked between the towering 14'ers of the Mosquito Range and the Front Range is this less-traveled gem. Most people zip by on US 285 on their way to the Arkansas Valley, but Jesse and I chose this spot at the north end of the Fairplay Valley because of the quiet trails that lead to sweeping vistas.

Album: June '05: Blue Lake Scouting Trip, Rawah Wilderness
Just off the Cache La Poudre River Valley is a network of trails and alpine lakes that offer plentiful hiking. Ryan and I did our best to make it to the lake by nightfall, but we decided to turn back bushwhack along the creek for challenge.
