This time of year I start thinking about and planning the epic trips and adventures for the following year. I’m not sure yet where next year will take me but I was going through some old images recently and found this snap of me on a backpacking trip from a few years back. I’m one of those crazy photographers who can’t go on a 12 mile backpacking trip without carrying 30lbs. in camera gear. It always sounds like a good idea when I’m in the planning stage so that I can capture those amazing images as the sun sets across the back country. It never fails however that I ALWAYS end up regretting the extra weight in my pack from my much needed (yeah right) camera equipment. I did this when I climbed to the top of Mt. Timpanogos (18 miles round trip gaining over 4800 ft in elevation in the first 9 miles), my pack in the image below is overloaded with unnecessary camera gear and I did this when I drug my two eldest kids (ages 5 & 7) on a 7 mile round trip over nighter in the beautiful high Uinta’s this past summer… what a blast that was! I have the most AMAZING kids in the world!
I thought it would be fun to see if anyone could guess where this photo was taken. The first person to leave a comment at the bottom of this post with the correct answer will win a $10 amazon.com gift card. Be sure to leave your email address so that I can send it to you.
hint: it’s somewhere in the US.
Good luck!
