You may think I’m crazy and you may be right. However, putting that aside for just a moment, I have to tell you that I LOVE TO CAMP IN THE WINTER. Whew! It felt good to yell that out. Nuts or not, I’ve been doing an annual wilderness winter backpacking trip for about a decade now. Each year I rally a few others with strong hearts and weak minds and we head off into the great outdoors. This years trip took us to the Adirondack mountain range in upstate New York. It was a joy to be surrounded by breathtaking beauty and the solitude that only a snow ladened trail can provide.
I could go on and on but I’ll shut-up now and let you see for yourselves what you’re missing. Enjoy!
Well I’m alive and well and had a great time on this year’s winter trip. Every time I go out I learn a little more and grow in appreciation of the solitude. The standout highlight of this adventure was waking up eye to eye with a moose about 2.5 meters away. It was amazing and incredible peaceful to absorb those moments. A truly unforgettable time.
As promised here are a few shots from our time in Algonquin. Many thanks to my buddy Lewis for making this year work amidst it’s challenges.
In the midst of portrait shoots and editing sessions we managed to break away into the great outdoors. Algonquin Provincial Park is one of my favourite escapes and scenes like this are a big part of the reason why. The busier life the gets the more I find I need time in places like this to get back to basics and centre myself. I’m so grateful to have such wonderful places so close to home.
Here’s wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful memory-making getaway this summer.
