Run Coaching, Stories From The Trails, and Adventures From Beyond
I thought to myself, okay is a relative term. By most standards, probably not. In this situation at this time of night, certainly not. I replied “you know, I’m in the mountains, which is perfect, but my hopes of hitching a ride back to the top of the pass have been shattered…”
Digging through my memory card, here are the photos I captured at Hardrock 100 in Silverton, CO. Most of these are on top of Handies Peak, a 14,000+ foot climb that athletes must summit on their way through the San Juans, finishing back in Silverton after 100 long miles. The day was full of both … Continue reading Hardrock 100 Photography

The building was maybe 25 feet wide and 50 feet deep. Light creeped in from all the fallen boards that once made … Continue reading Two Tracks and Barbed Wire- Day 7

That is what cathedral gorge looked like, except it was a … Continue reading Ghost Town Tailgaters + Utah: Day 6
The morning came way too soon. I was up with the sun, natural as ever, at about 6:30am. I peered out the windows to see the previously black surroundings of the town I had run into the last night.
