Ecuador
Ecuador really is a beautiful country! We spent the first half of the trip at a jungle lodge outside of Tena, the “cinnamon capital” of Ecuador. The Hakuna Matata Lodge served as the jumping off point for several adventures, including a day of rafting down the Rio Napo (a major tributary of the Amazon). The […]

Oxnard
It would be a stretch to say that this trip was wilderness or adventure-related. We planned on surfing Rincon, but the weather refused to cooperate. Lopez fished for a few minutes, so there you go. We spent a couple of nights at the beach house in Oxnard, focused primarily on the consumption of alcoholic beverages. […]

Tritonman Triathlon
I’ve always wanted to enter a triathlon, so when Lopez called about this year’s Tritonman, I enthusiastically agreed to join him. The race was a month and a half away, which would be long enough to get some crash training in. Days turned to weeks, and before I knew it there was less than a […]

Mammoth Lakes
Frey’s annual Mammoth trip has historically showcased all sorts of outrageous behavior. This time around, our wives were able to join us and I think it resulted in a calmer, gentler getaway. It snowed for two straight days and we scored some epic conditions. I often wonder why I paid the extra money for 4WD, […]

Alabama Hills
This is a photography trip that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I typically spend a few days snowboarding in Mammoth each winter, and it always kills me to drive past the scenic Alabama Hills without stopping for a visit. This time, we took two cars and after a weekend of boarding, […]

Huanchaco, Peru
Our first surf trip to Peru, the land of lefts. We stayed in Huanchaco, just outside of Trujillo on the north coast. This area is a lot like Baja California: dusty and dry, and chilly water. We surfed some fun waves in Huanchaco, and also spent a day catching the longest rides of our lives […]

Zion National Park
Our second trip to Utah’s Zion National Park. Last time, Steve and I hiked the subway from the top down, and I didn’t get an opportunity to photograph the popular cascades area. On this trip, Scott and I got to the trailhead at 7 am and we made it to the cascades before the hordes […]

San Juans, Colorado
Colorado is home to the largest aspen forests in the world, so it’s no surprise that photographers flock here during the fall. I began my trip by visiting the iconic Maroon Bells, shooting the sunrise with no fewer than 50 other photographers. Then I made my way south towards Crested Butte via Kebler Pass, and […]

Denmark
In an effort to learn more about our curious friend (and brother-in-law) Mads, we traveled to his home country of Denmark. A land where few have too much, and even fewer have too little. A place of wind and windmills, pickled herring and pastries, and Viking graves. Our arrival in Copenhagen conveniently coincided with some […]
