All things Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Alaska
Please click on the image to view the full size version Hey Folks, Anyone coming up to Alaska this winter? Here’s a good reason why. The Wrangell mountains, in al their alpenglow-ing glory are second to none in the winter. Here I’m looking across the Copper Winter toward the Wrangell Mountain range. From the left […]
Hey Folks, Here’s a nice surprise. I just finished a week of bald eagle photography, and picked up a new lens from B&H photo and a night sky of aurora borealis. So what better way to finish a 600 mile drive back to interior Alaska than to enjoy my new Zeiss 25mm f1.4 lens shooting […]
Hey Folks, Welcome back to the blog. It’s been a long, busy and somewhat crazy season. More on all that later. Here’s a photo of the Tyndall Glacier from our first trip, way back in June, when Rhane and I guided a Sea Kayaking trip in Icy Bay, before a week hiking and packrafting on […]
Hey Folks, No paddling today! LOL .. woke up this particular morning a few years ago to see all these icebergs washed up on our shore. We’d been paddling in clear open water the night before, not an iceberg in sight. Fortunately, a few hours later, the tide came in, and all these ‘bergs were […]

The Wrangell Mountains. Left to right, you’re looking at Mt Drum, Mt. Sanford, Mt Zanetti (the little “cone” shaped peak the looks like a ski-jump […]
Hey Folks, Thinking about the coming summer already. Anyone else want to visit Icy Bay this summer? Sea kayaking like nobody’s business. Icy Bay is on the southern edge of Wrangell St. Elias National Park. Arguably some of the best seat kayaking in the world. Amazing place! This is a fun shot from a trip […]
Hey Folks, So, for my participation in Jim Goldstein’s annual photos of the year presentation, I thought I’d roll along with some of my personal favorites. The northern lights were fantastic all year, and we had some great opportunities on our trips. Way too much fun shooting these all night long. The great grizzly bears […]
hey Folks, Whoops sorry about this. I haven’t posted in a while. Things were pretty hectic since July, and I’ve now got a little bit of down time so I’ll try to make up for that. Instead of posting an Image of the Month for November, I’ll upload a handful of photos, one for August […]
