Photo 1: Desert Sentinel, Dead Horse Point This photo was taken at Dead Horse Point near Moab, Utah. The point is a finger of land that juts out over the desert basin far below, and was the filming location for the scene in Thelma & Louise (spoiler alert!) where they drive off the desert cliff together. This lonely Juniper caught my eye, mostly for it's stamina and resiliency to survive this harsh desert climate and the relentless winds at this elevation and exposure, 2,000 feet above the Colorado River. Photo 2: Fall on Duck Creek, Cedar Breaks National Monument While exploring the Dixie National Forest near Cedar Breaks National Monument (Utah), I stumbled across this tranquil and photogenic creek winding it's way down from the heights. I followed it for a few miles, and was rewarded with stunning fall foliage. A beautiful and relaxing hike on a soothing autumn afternoon. Photo 3: Luke and Mausam, High Uinta Mountains I was hiking with a group of friends in the High Uinta Mountains of northern Utah when we stopped to rest at the gorgeous Ibantik Lake (10,220 feet). One of my hiking group (Mausam, from India) took a liking to my back country hiking companion, my Siberian Husky Luke, who returned the affection. I took the photo while Luke and Mausam were enjoying the view. Photo 4: Red Rock Serenade, Moab Utah This photo was taken while hiking in Canyonlands National Park, in the Needles district. I was roughly 7 miles into the Elephant Hill trail, when I heard music up ahead. As I rounded a bend in an arroyo, I saw these two rather striking young guys perched on a ledge halfway up a canyon wall strumming their guitars, their climbing gear scattered around them. I can only assume they climbed up first and hauled their guitars up afterward. A nice surprising moment on an otherwise isolated hike. Photo 5: Sundial Peak in Autumn, Wasatch Mountains Sundial Peak is my all-around favorite hiking destination in the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah, adjacent to Salt Lake City. The mountain rears its iconic summit 10,320 feet and is often reflected in the calm waters of Lake Blanche nestled at its feet. The peak can be reached during at any time during the year, and looks completely different in each season.

(1) The Fitz Roy Massif in Patagonia, Argentina, in the morning light, which changes from pink to flaming gold as the sun is rising, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Once known as Cerro Chalten (Smoking Mountain), not as a volcano but for the cloud which forms around its peak. (2) Lunch at the Punta Union Pass at 15,675 ft (4750m) in Peru; with the stunning view of nearby Nevado Taulliraju (5830m). My Peruvian friend Esteban, always uses his big knife for almost everything; that is why nobody ever messes up with the cook. (3)The Salkantay Pass (4,638 m/15,213 ft) in Peru, and snowcapped peaks of the Vilcabamba Range. (4) Ófærufoss (the Impassable Waterfall) in Iceland, is one of the most awe-inspiring waterfalls. It was created by the cascading waters of Nyrðri-Ófæra River, cutting into the solid lava wall of the Eldgjá “fire canyon” overgrown by the fluorescent green moss. (5) The “Wonderland” of Sveinsgil in Iceland, with the only one of its kind Grænihryggur (Green Ridge), near the rhyolitic stratovolcano Torfajökull, which last erupted in 1477.

(1)There is a certain charm to the small towns along the coast in Maine, this picture was taken when I went to Mount Desert Island to see Acadia National Park. (2)My boyfriend thought it would be a good idea for me to meet his family and tell them all that we were in a relationship so he brought me to Newfoundland Canada. (3). In this picture we were watching a storm roll over Yellowstone Lake at the northern end while we were free and clear of the thunder and rain at the southern end on a beach. (4)My boyfriend and I spent our day hiking in various location until we stopped at Great Fountain Geyser to watch the sun set. (5)My boyfriend and I were nearing the end of our trip out west to Yellowstone National park, we woke up early in the morning while staying in Indian Creek camp grounds and drove across the park to Hayden Valley where we saw the sun rising and reflecting over the river.
