[5] Navigating through deep powder.

It’s wild to realize this 2.2-meter marker pole is almost entirely under snow. It tells you everything you need to know about the conditions.

[4] The landscape shifted as we kept moving, and these rock formations stole the show.

[3] The trail stayed surprisingly quiet as we climbed further.

I expected to see more hikers, even on a weekday, but these were the only two people we crossed paths with all day.

It felt like we had the mountain to ourselves.

[2] From seeing the trail from above with the drone to walking right through it.

The scale from above was incredible, but it’s a different experience actually being there and feeling the depth of the snow under my boots.

[1] I’ve hiked this trail multiple times in the summer, but I’ve wanted to experience it in the snow for a long time. I finally managed to do it last week!

This photo is from a section where the landscape really started to get covered.

Sharing more of the hike over the coming days.

Part of the filmstrip I run in my head when grief feels like too much.

This was taken in December 2021, overlooking Thunder Ridge from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The clouds moving through the mountains and that quiet, watchful tree have stayed with me ever since. Some images don’t just live in an album — they become places the mind returns to for comfort.

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
