It was a long weekend in BC amd we went camping for a few days. Joffre lakes was one of our climbing destination. This is the middle lake and my favourite among all. This log is a perfect photography spot for climbers!

As a native New Englander, I’ve spent a decent amount of time in the mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Western Massachusetts. I’ve been hiking and camping since I was just a small kid. Of course, the Appalachian Mountain Range isn’t the tallest or most extreme in the world, but they’re still amazing and I call them home. However, this past September I had the opportunity to travel to Whistler, British Columbia for a company-wide retreat. During which, I experienced a totally different wilderness in the Coast Mountain Range of Canada.

The sun was trying to peek out from behind the clouds as we snowshoed through the mountains and over this frozen lake but it never quite came out, still a great day and picture, even with no sun.

It was a long weekend in BC amd we decided to go camping for a few days. Lillooet lake was where we set up our tent and went climbing around. It was drizzling and foggy which made a scenic view of the lake.

Everytime I go to Pemberton I am always impressed by how the clouds move across the mountains, always so beautiful. Not sure if it is always like that or if I am just lucky with the weather each time I visit, but makes for a great set of photos.

This was one of the most humbling moments of my life. The sheer size of this mountain was incredible. (for comparison those tiny dots right under the rock/snow line on the far right are people). This was actually a glacier you can barely see the opening of a large ice cave near the bottom of the picture.

I just got back from a great weekend up in Whistler. I took this photo Friday night at Lost Lake. The moon was two thirds full but it was totally clear so the moonlight really lit up the lake. I normally do not include people in my landscape photos but decided to pose in this one. What do you think? Do you think it is better with me in the photo or if I stayed out of the way?

We were at the top of blackcomb mountain after walking across the suspension bridge surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains and the light hit the blue lake at just the right moment that made me stop in my tracks. It was all my little sony had to zoom in and grab this shot right before the battery died and the lift almost left us at the top of the mountain.

The Peak 2 Peak is a world record holding gondola for the longest free span between ropeway towers at 3.03 kilometres. It connects Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, a popular ski resort in BC.

I’ve got a favourite spot for the slopestyle event at Crankworx Whistler. Every year they change the course and the jumps, so it’s always a new shot. This year, it involved a log and some fab little maple leafs.

What a great time to stop at this lookout which is located off of one of the most beautiful highways in Canada, The Sea to Sky. As we arrived at this spot, I was able to capture the amazing glow of the spring sun during golden hour. Mountains have always had a special place in my heart just because they are so fascinating and you begin to realize how small you are on this earth.

After an intense 4 hour Hike up to Wedgemount Lake, climbing and descending 2400m in only 14 km our legs were completely destroyed. We came across this beautiful lake after the hike and we couldn’t have passed up the opportunity to take some great photos at golden hour. With the trees showing the warm fall colours and the contrast of the blues made for such a calming and beautiful scene

This photo is at Brandywine Falls, BC, Canada. I am caught standing in awe, wearing my Grey Wolf Spirithood coat. During this photo, ice sickles were falling off the edge and making this loud hollow banging noise. It was pretty haunting.

These meadows absolutely blew my mind because I have never seen anything like them in my life. Everywhere you look you see alpine flowers and tall pointy trees, surrounded by miraculous mountains and lakes around each bend. Would very much recommend this Hike to Taylor Meadows any day.

The beautiful thing about living in Vancouver is the access to local, beautiful places like this. On this day, I was stressed out, tired and a little down on my luck. My remedy? Grab a Car Share, grab my camera and head out to the mountains for sunset. The result? This beautiful image that I love. Enjoy.

I was driving down from a weekend up in Lillooet, British Columbia when I crossed the Alexandra Bridge in Spuzzum. I was so taken the crossing that I turned around and spent nearly half an hour photographing the area around the bridge.

On this trip to the Tantalus Range I was forced to come to terms with the tradeoff that exists in the high alpine mountains: beauty and danger. One of our teammates fell 40 metres from the face of a mountain to the snow below. He was evacuated via helicopter. This picture was taken hours later. The horror of the fall and the peaceful beauty of the sunset demonstrated that the mountains are indifferent to our presence.

On my hike in BC, I passed through this area - the trees shift happened unexpectedly. At first, you’re in an area of low lying bushes and ferns and then – BAM – 100+ foot tall pines everywhere. It’s a beautiful area to move through and happy I savored the moment.

The grouse grind is unique and definitive of the Vancouver people. To me - the city lacked the ‘umph’ and culture of a special city, but that’s because its surrounded by gorgeous nature in all directions. Why stay in the city on the weekends – the grouse grind exemplifies this outdoorsy spirit. A hike that’s 2.9 km long but during those you gain 853 meters of elevation. Shot this while i still had the energy when the treeline transitioned.
