Here are a few images from an outstanding week tagging along with the talented @rigtoflip crew as they work on their latest film about the legendary and inspiring Colorado River Keeper, John Weisheit. I shot some photos and helped man a camera for th

Hey All! I’m just back from the wilds and super stoked to see the release of a project that was years in the making. The Outlaw Tour was a one of my more memorable historic adventures involving lots of research and help from some of the best hi

It felt good to return to our home roots in SW Colorado for two amazing trips with some stellar humans. Our backyard never fails to provide wonder and so much natural beauty.

Now it is time to head to the desert to take on some big whitewater, but

Given the continual attacks on our public lands and most likely, the upcoming attempts to reduce the boundaries of the Bears Ears National Monument along with others, I thought I would share just one of the many experiences I’ve had in this ama

DD just wrote an article for @hyperlite_mountain_gear about the perception of the word “suffering.” Many of our adventures have been labeled by others as suffer fests. That may or may not be the case - just like beauty it is all in the ey

Went for a solo desert walk-a-bout for the past couple of weeks. Endured all types of weather from snow and below freezing temperatures to summer time heat. Finding water was extra challenging due to the winter drought - consequently, my pack was qu

Broken in Baja. You know it’s not good when your preferred and only mode of transportation for a two month trip is placed in the back of a pick up truck and then soon after, the truck breaks down (photo 2). Which leads to a wild tow through rem

Our encounters with both wildlife and domesticated animals were some of the most memorable experiences of the trip. Having a grey whale surface next to you with the ability to look into the depths of its eyes is humbling. It’s mesmerizing to wa

The Baja desert is full of life. Beyond all of the pokey things where carrying a hemostat (for cactus spine removal) and riding tubeless are essential, there are vast areas of industrial farming that provide produce on a global scale - from berries o

Birria quesadillas, fish tacos, Chilaquiles, fresh tortillas, beans in a bag, lots of avocados, amazing loaded hot dogs, Huevos Rancheros, Machaca burritos, papas fritas, carne asada tortas, fresh margaritas…these are just a few of the amazing

I have been fortunate and privileged to travel all across the globe. Time and time again my experiences have all been amazing and that is because of the people I met and traveled with. Human interactions enrich the travel experience. The same was tru

A source of magic along the divide is the amazing wild camping opportunities - from laying down between the el cardon’s to sleeping in the sand of a secluded cove. Of course, some of our best camps were watching the sunrise along the Sea of Cor

After a week home, I am finally sorting through the photos taken over the past couple of months of riding from San Diego to San Jose del Cabo along the Baja Divide. This route shouldn’t be taken lightly - it’s difficult and will test your
