Frozen Meadow Sunset Skijor (GoPro 11 Mini)
With cold temps, cloud cover, and strong winds it was no surprise that the snow above our meadows remained relatively frozen and fast this past week.

Calm Before the Storm

Hawkins Peak — Last Hike of Fall (2022)
Scenes from our last hike of Fall (2022), just before the atmospheric rivers arrived and the snow began to fly. It was a short memorable hike to the summit of Hawkins Peak (Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest) with great views in all directions. We got up to the top late in the day, down to the car…
