Patagonia is a place of mystique. So far away from anywhere I’ve ever been. At the edge of the earth. That is how I felt when I arrived in Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. In the middle of nowhere. Yet it never felt better.

Photo taken on top of the highest point in Vanoise National Park, France. August 2012. Besides being home with my family, my favorite spot is this above. On top of the world, at the highest point of a mountain. There is no place on earth like it. To feel so exhilarated, so alive and so free, is the best spot you could ever be. When modern day life brings me down and the pressure of the world weighs heavily on […]

The town of El Chalten in southern Argentina is known as the launching off point to a handful of magnificent treks in Los Glaciares National Park. The only way to get there is by bus or car on a road that leads to this outpost in the middle of nowhere. It feels like a dream when you arrive. Eerily quiet save a few late night partygoers, old fashioned street lamps lining the dusty gravel road. But once you are there, […]

Photo taken in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina. Less than two weeks from now, I’ll be hiking again. Not the Andes but the French Alps. I can hardly wait!
