Thanks For Visiting

4/25/2018 – It’s been quite a while since I updated this site, so I’m sorry to those who follow along. As a consolation, I have been keeping @wanderingbybicycle on Instagram somewhat updated. Anyway, I’ve taken this summer of from traveling and instead, am working in beautiful Haines Alaska guiding kayakers. It’s not a bad compromise. Safe Travels!

There is no easy way to reach the granite towers of the Wind River Range, but no matter what route you choose the view is worth it once you arrive. #explorewyoming #windriverrange #windriverhighroute #backpacking

After topping out on Wind River Peak, @pounceonlife and I descended about 2,500 feet of loose talus and scree to a great camping spot above a small tarn, then followed this valley down to Black Joe Lake the following morning. #explorewyoming #windriverrange #windriverhighroute #backpacking #getoutandhike

@pounceonlife and I just returned from eight days of scrambeling and hiking in Wyoming's Wind River Range, where our route took us up and over Wind River Peak. #explorewyoming #windriverrange #backpacking #windriverhighroute

I've made it to the lower 48 and met up with @pounceonlife for a traverse of Wyoming's Wind River Range. It's taken us four days to drive the 800 miles to the start, but we've seen some beautiful scenery along the way. #explorewyoming #roadtripping #beartoothhighway #beartoothpass

I've started heading south, back to the lower 48, but not before a stop in Whitehorse to ride with @pedalling_slow. We headed down to the Carcross trails to ride the IMBA Epic Mountain Hero Loop. The climbing was pretty stout, but the alpine traverse and brake burning descent made it worth the effort. #exploreyukon #carcross #mountainbiking #mountainhero

When we arrived at the Dempster Highway around 4:00pm we were down to the last of our food scraps. While we knew the traffic on the highway would be minimal, we saw no one. It turns out, the ferry over the Peel River was closed due to flooding, and that blocked most of the southbound traffic. We originally planned for six days, packed food for seven, and decided along the way to take eight. At least the weather was good, so we spent the rest of the day reading books, recounting the trip, and rationing our food. Around 11:00 the next morning a couple from Ottawa in an RV picked us up and drove is back to the car. #exploreyukon #ogilvieriver #dempsterhighway #hitchhiking #alpackaraft #packrafting
