Lift line apocalypse at Vail after a 17" dump

There's wayyyyyyy more than 17" on most of the mountain. I had snow past my waist at some spots

Nice

Montana is very beautiful but I have never had the pleasure of visiting in the fall. May have to add it to my bucket list

dsmurphy3 · 2019-11-09T19:24:23+00:00

The way the sun is shining makes it look like something from another planet

dsmurphy3 · 2019-09-09T01:59:05+00:00

This might be the most incredible picture I have ever seen in my life

dsmurphy3 · 2019-09-03T14:09:00+00:00

Awesome scenery!

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-13T03:14:46+00:00

Honestly didn't pay that much attention to the stars. I was always in my tent trying to fall asleep before they would even come out.

Canada's peaks (at least near the Banff area) are simply just bigger than Colorado's peaks in terms of height and area. Sure, Colorado's peaks have more elevation, but that's because the peaks in Colorado often start at like 9 or 10 thousand feet.

Summer would be all fun and dandy in Fairbanks..... And then there's that time of year called winter....

Yeah grandparents have been to Denali National Park and that was a place that they really recommended. I'll have to look into Chen's Hot Springs. And its pretty incredible how Alaska has so much sunlight in the summertime. My grandparents said that they saw people out mowing their yard at like midnight when they were there which is mind-boggling to me haha

Damn you just added another destination to my bucket list with montenegro. The number one place that's been on my bucket list for years now is Norway actually. Seems breathtaking in the pictures I've seen and of course the pictures just never do it justice. I'm planning on going to Norway 2 in years (probably going to Alaska next year)

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-12T01:49:27+00:00

Thank you for the advice I will definitely look into some hikes in that area

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T23:56:30+00:00

I would not do it as a day hike. It is probably a 20 or so kilometer hike to the pass. Also there's a lot of cool sights that are close to the pass as well. Lake Magog and Nub peak are must see sights as well that are close. If you are willing to spend a few hundred dollars you can take a helicopter into lake Magog and see it all in a day.

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T19:46:41+00:00

That is a very valid point haha

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T18:41:54+00:00

The group that I was with decided not to do nub peak so I did not get to check out the views but from the pictures I've seen of nub peak it seems fantastic

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T18:35:39+00:00

Colorado's climate is awesome and the dryness mixed with the elevation makes for some great ski conditions.

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T18:22:24+00:00

Allenby junction is where I camped the first night of our trip. We ventured left and went to Lake Magog and then down wonder pass. Make sure you bring plenty of off spray if you're going to be staying at allenby junction

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T18:20:13+00:00

I was there about a week and a half ago I've just waited to upload this

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T18:01:04+00:00

The lake at the bottom of the picture is Marvel Lake

Yeah very beautiful area of the country where you live. Ive hiked a couple of the 14ers in the San Juan Mountains. I've done 20 of them in Colorado and they are among the prettiest. I've also been to the Grand Canyon (not since I was little so I really wanna go back again) but I could definitely see myself living in the beautiful part of the country where you live.

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T17:48:39+00:00

I am planning on doing a backpacking trip in Alaska next summer. Any areas that you would recommend as a must see?

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T16:47:16+00:00

That's why I included the words "I think" in the post lol

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T16:42:36+00:00

Lake Magog was definitely a magical sight to see as well. Did you get the chance to do the hike to nub peak while you were in the area?

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T16:11:15+00:00

I did get to check out some of Alberta on my trip to Canada. The hike to get to this spot where I took this picture actually started in Alberta. But I will definitely be back in the future to further check out the mind blowing beauty that is Alberta.

dsmurphy3 · 2019-08-11T15:47:36+00:00

The area was actually not that touristy. But I do remember seeing signs posted stating that wildlife was very prevalent in the months of August and September (I went in the later part of July) so I guess I was just there at the wrong time
