Postcards from Summer days well spent in the Colorado mountains

It’s that time of year again when the Rocky Mountains come to life. The rivers are rushing, the hills becoming painted in lush greens and wildflowers galore, and many new adventures are on the horizon.

I hope you’re as excited as I am for another glorious Summer roaming these hills and making new memories.

Preparing to get back out into the mountains and get my Summer in Colorado underway this week 🤌🏼

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from exploring Arizona’s Route 66 Ghost Town

This stretch of our Route 66 road trip was quite possibly my favorite, as following the original route took us far away from civilization, winding through the hills of the rugged remote wilderness of the Black Mountains.

That is until out of the blue, you drop into this rustic mountain town of Oatman, where b***os fill the streets, and the Wild West culture has been perfectly preserved.

With old retired mining shafts you could walk through, saloons, and original storefronts from the early 1900’s, it gave a true glimpse into what life was like for those who settled in these mountains over a century ago.

And with roughly 100 people still calling this town home, it’s not your typical ghost town, serving as a place where those who appreciate the old ways of living can still experience it in this little corner of the Mojave Desert.

Fun fact, the b***o in the 2nd photo was not a fan of getting his picture taken, and he about charged me before the local store owner yelled at him and put him in time out (shot 8).

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Spring Postcards from the Arizona stretch of Route 66

Crossing the border into Arizona on our roadtrip, you could immediately see and feel the change in atmosphere.

We were fully into the desert stretch now, where over the miles the open grasslands slowly changed to red rock formations covered in petroglyphs, and the towns went from having pines and junipers to petrified forests and eventually palm trees.

The nostalgic Route 66 motels and diners were mixed in with a myriad of abandoned souvenir shops, gas stations, and five and dime stores collecting dust.

There were a lot of visitors still to these Arizona Route 65 towns though – more than we had seen in any other stretch of the road, as they certainly have done a stellar job of preserving many of these iconic scenes.

It was yet another journey through time, but this time with a more Southwestern fee to it that I’ve come to know so well.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Most are edited with my traditional color grade, but I tested out a new Porta inspired grade on a few.

Postcards from exploring the Old Town of Albuquerque, New Mexico

As we made our way across Route 66 through the small towns and dry desert plain landscapes, we were finally greeted by the mountains as we got into central New Mexico, along with our first major city for some reprieve from the road.

Albuquerque has many of the things you’ll find in other major cities, but it certainly has its own unique culture; particularly in this preserved section of the town, where the original pueblo architecture of the region still remains.

This bustling square was filled with beautiful cafe’s, restaurants and boutiques, world class art and museums, and even some fun Breaking Bad memorabilia.

It was a nice change of pace from the stops of the trip we had made thus far, and is certainly a place I would travel back to for a longer stay.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from the forgotten towns of Route 66 - New Mexico

Walking down these quiet, empty streets that used to be bustling with people passing through from around the country decades ago was a surreal feeling.

It felt like a time capsule from the fifties in some ways, with the perfectly preserved classic cars, neon motel signs, and steak and shake diners.

But also post apocalyptic in other ways, as not much else of the town was still standing on solid foundations — abandoned, left to collapse and remain crumbling pieces of what it once was.

It’s a bittersweet part of the culture and history of the American West. As quickly as many towns boom, they can also later be left behind and forgotten as the world moves on to other places of interest.

And while these towns may never be what they were in their glory, it was nice to still capture them and show them some appreciation for the role they’ve served.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from the Historic Route 66 route through Texas

Recently a friend and I embarked on a road trip across the Southwest, taking the original route from Texas to Los Angeles over the course of a week.

This iconic stretch of road served as the gateway to the American West during its time, allowing for millions to set out on adventures, explore new lands, and migrate across the country, leading to the Mountain West and Pacific Coast to becoming what it has today.

It was incredible to get a glimpse into this part of American history, and explore many of the towns along the route that have remained frozen in time since the decommissioning of the road.

Starting off with the first leg of the journey, we made our way through Texas, from Dallas up to Amarillo and onward West to Adrian, the midpoint of Route 66, before crossing over to New Mexico.

When arriving in Amarillo, we took some time to explore the Palo Duro Canyon just South before checking out the town.

The town itself was quiet, but welcoming, and you could find countless shops still open to the public, but not seeing nearly the traffic they were accustomed to in decades past.

The nostalgic vibes and feeling of true exploration only went up the further we journeyed, so stick around to see more from the rest of the trip 👌🏼

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Scenes from Wyoming’s most unassuming mountain town of Pinedale

Often overlooked by its big brother just an hour and change up the road, Jackson Hole, this quaint little town serves as the gateway to some of the most wild, remote, and beautiful mountains that can be found in the West.

An outfitter town for fishers, hunters, backpackers, and more, it’s where those who really want to experience the outdoors of Wyoming venture to in my mind.

Because the Wind River Range that this small mountain town serves as the entrance point to is not for the average tourist. Its hikes are long, the weather quickly changes on you, and the bugs can be absolutely relentless. And you’re miles away from any sort of amenities.

But it truly is still the wild out there, which is why it draws so many people each year once the snow thaws.

And after exploring the mountains, the town itself has a lot to offer, with breweries, coffee shops, and some quality post hike grub.

If you plan to ever make the roadtrip up to Jackson, I highly recommend taking some time to explore this area as well; not just passing through like so many do.

I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Postcards from Spring’s arrival in the most beautiful valley in Wyoming.

While Spring is usually delayed in these parts, with the valley floor usually still blanketed in snow this time of year, the the Spring equinox brought with it the true feeling of the changing of seasons in Jackson, along with the rest of the Rocky Mountains.

Getting out with to enjoy the park in a way I’m not used to being able to this time of year was certainly a treat.

What usually would require snowshoes and a myriad of layers to explore could now be done by bike or an easy stroll through the park. All with none of the crowds that come later in the year.

Aside from we also took some time to just roam and find new hidden gems in the valley around Jackson, which is something you know I’m always a fan of.

So while it may have been a different experience than usual for this time of year, it made for a special one.

Thanks as always for checking them out, and let me know your favorites 🙏🏼

Spring scenes from a (not so) typical ski day at the legendary Jackson Hole mountain.

As we all know, it’s been a weird year for snowfall here in the West. But that hasn’t kept us from getting out and making the most of it.

Making the trip up to Jackson this past weekend, the conditions rivaled those of previous years coming up in late April when the lifts were on their final days of spinning for the season.

Despite that, the vibes were high.

With plenty of Spring breakers from around the country still taking in the beauty of this valley, the locals shredding corn dressed in their favorite go-to Spring skiing attire, and the mid mountain lodges packed with people catching rays, there was still great energy on the mountain.

Let this be your sign to take your camera skiing with you to capture these kind of days that certainly live rent free in my head 👌🏼
