Trip Report - Guiding in Olympic National Park in WA - 9/5/23 - 9/22/23
This September, I spent 17 days guiding a series of offtrail trips in Washington with Andrew Skurka Adventures. After spending the last two falls cooped up inside doing grad work, it was a joy to be out in the landscape watching Washington transition toward winter. My clients were wonderful, curious and resilient despite some gnarly conditions, and I’m thankful to have gotten to spend so much time with them all! Here are some photos of what we found:
Trip Report - Guiding in Gates of the Arctic National Park in AK - 6/29/23 - 7/9/23
Just finished up with an 11-day guiding for Andrew Skurka Adventures up in Gates of the Arctic National Park. Had a wonderful time despite the cold temps and semi-constant drizzle/storms, and my clients were troopers. Saw a grizzly, caribou, Dall sheep and wolverine and wolf tracks, got to cross some rowdy rivers, and got chomped on by many many mosquitoes. Looking forward to getting back up there! Here are a few photos:
