This was the best sunset I caught this autumn (on a day with a totally clear weather forecast, no less!). Above the town of Ophir, with Mt Wilson and the San Miguel Range beyond. See more photos from this autumn in the #SanJuanMountains, #Colorado here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/mons...

Some #autumn color studies while wandering around in the aspen forests in the #SanJuanMountains in #Colorado this last week. More here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/mons...

Last week I did a 7-day, ~60 mile solo backpack trek through the Eastern #Sierra in #California, through parts of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I couldn't resist all the reflection shots along the way! See my trip report and more pics here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/east...

A massive #lightning bolt snakes across the sky above the Sneffels Range, eventually striking the summit of Dallas Peak. #SanJuanMountains #Colorado. This was my first time using the "pre-capture" feature on the very first day using my new Sony A7R6. Works like a charm! 😁

The #PacificNorthwest is a majestic part of the world, with its dark forests, glacier-clad volcanoes, and emerald rivers. This summer I spent 2 months road tripping through the #Cascades of California, #Oregon, and #Washington! See all the photos here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/2-mo...

The warm glow of pre-sunrise illuminates jagged sandstone needles, reflected in a slickrock pothole. #Canyonlands National Park, #Utah.

Black and white peaks from the #Haute-Alps in #France this last January. One of my favorite modes of photography is riding around on my snowboard with a telephoto lens! Double the fun. More photos from our trip here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/larc... #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite

Some color photos from the Swiss Alps last month. I was putting my telephoto lens to good use there! See lots more photos on my blog post: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/swis... #Switzerland #Alps #MountainPhotography

Some black and white photos from the Swiss Alps last month after a January snowstorm dumped nearly a meter of fresh powder over the mountains. See lots more photos from my wintery week in #Switzerland here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/swis... #Alps #MountainPhotography

Clouds clear off of Mount #Sneffels on a glorious bluebird morning today after a snowstorm at the start of December. #SanJuanMountains, #Colorado Winter is finally here!!! ❄️☃️

Morning light on the convoluted sandstone terrain of the #canyonlands of southern #Utah on a chilly November morning. More photos here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/betw...

Martin Rak strikes again! What a moment.

Walking through a grove of golden quaking #aspens is one of nature's most beautiful experiences, like entering a natural cathedral with sacred light. See my gallery of #Colorado #fallcolors photos here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/autu...

Congrats and wonderful photo, @kennymuir.bsky.social, with its stark, high-contrast b&w foreground tree against the softer, mystical background. That splash of light ties it all together!

In early September we had to retreat unexpectedly from a backpack trip in the #WindRiverRange of #Wyoming due to #wildfire smoke from the nearby #DollarLakeFire. Check out more photos and stories from this unique and surreal trek here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/smok...

Here's another batch of photos from a two-week trek through the #Écrins National Park in the French #Alps last month. These are some of the most idyllic mountains I've ever visited! Lots more here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/trek... #mountainphotography #ecrins #frenchalps

This July we did a two-week trek ( #GR54 ) around the Parc National des #Écrins in the French Alps, staying in alpine huts and villages along the way. This was our longest trek yet in the #Alps; check out the full trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/trek... #mountainphotography

In early June the aspen forests on the flanks of La Sal Mountains above #Moab, #Utah are bursting with greenery, wildflowers, and birdsong.

A couple sunsets overlooking the ancient seabed landscapes in the #canyonlands near #Moab, #Utah this last weekend.

Happy to see Peter Coskun here on Bluesky. Give him a follow!

This is the time of year I start thinking about camping on top of mountains! May and June can offer windows of opportunity between the avalanche danger of winter and lightning danger of summer. Here's a couple epic high camps in the #moonlight above 13,000 ft. in the #SanJuanMountains, #Colorado.

Love the colors and light in this photo by Martin Podt.

The sun rises behind Wetterhorn Peak and Uncompahgre Peak, two 14ers in the San Juan Mountains, #Colorado. #14ers #MountainPhotography #SanJuanMountains

Lovely scene... I could sit here for hours! This seems like a good candidate for a huge print.

Last week we hiked the wonderful 38-mile #TransCatalinaTrail across #CatalinaIsland, off the coast of southern #California. We did this 12 years ago, but this time was even more beautiful and memorable. Check out my photos and journal from the trek here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/tran...

Glorious sunrise light and rugged volcanic peaks high above the Sonoran Desert in western #Arizona. The haze was from a wildfire near #Yuma but made for a lovely atmosphere in the morning light. #landscapephotography #mountainphotography

Looking forward to doing this again soon! Here's some pics from the wonderful 45-mile #TransCatalinaTrail on #CatalinaIsland in #California, from 12 years ago. I wonder if it has changed much since then? See more pics and my original trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/tran...

Sunrise behind a forest of saguaro cacti in #SaguaroNationalPark near #Tucson #Arizona. #nationalparks

Whenever I'm in the lights and bustle of Las Vegas I usually catch myself gazing towards the mountains in the distance, wishing I was out there instead. It took me years to realize #LasVegas #Nevada is actually a great base for outdoors lovers. Here's a beautiful sunrise at #RedRockCanyon.

Stoked to see John Scurlock here on Bluesky. A modern day Bradford Washburn!

There are many wild, rugged, and seldom-visited mountain ranges in the #Mojave Desert, making it a prime area for exploratory missions. Here's a small collection of photos from a memorable 3-week trip in March 2019. See the whole trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/moja...

The best kind of weather...

I want to step into this scene!

Calm simplicity from Lena Sanver.

What an absolutely stunning moment captured by Dag Ole Nordhaug!

Where would you rather spend the night? Two February evenings both in the mountains above #Ouray, #Colorado.

Some photos from the #Mojave and #Sonoran deserts a couple Februaries ago. My wife caught Valley Fever out there and was laid out for 3 months afterwards with flesh-eating fungus in her lungs. We watched "The Last of Us" while she recovered. 😵 More pics: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/febr...

A little slice of paradise here from Christopher Harrison.

I wonder what it would have been like to live in a generation with boundless optimism about the future. How do we find personal peace and growth in a society in decline? I've always turned to wilderness for solace, but is that just temporary escapism? Perhaps, but it's still mandatory for my sanity.

The Light Gap A special light mood at the Berchtesgaden Alps. Dark clouds above and below and celestial golden glow in between. Bavaria, Germany #landscapephotography #bayern #Germany

A wide-angle and a telephoto view of sandstone formations near #Moab #Utah illuminated by an intense glow light from a fiery sunset sky behind me.

A blazing sunrise above a sandstone arch near #Moab, #Utah last week during a two-night backpack trip. Always nice to camp on slickrock and spend time in the vast and wild landscapes of the Colorado Plateau. More pics here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/colo...

Larch trees and snow in the French Alps this January. #blackandwhite

I mostly shot b&w photos during my January in the French Alps, but here are a few color ones. See the whole collection of 45 photos along with my trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/janu... #FrenchAlps #France #mountains #mountainphotography #ValThorens

Bonjour! I recently returned home after spending the month of January in the French Alps! What magnificent mountains, especially smothered in snow. I just posted my gallery of photos, check them out! www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/janu... #France #FrenchAlps #mountains #mountainphotography
