Mark’s Photos #3
Today’s picture was taken in May 2014 when I was near PCT mile 620, passing through the western Mojave. I had been climbing up a treeless desert mountain all afternoon. There was no shade....
The Backbone Trail
The Palisades Fire in California last year sure has messed things up. Not only was it devastating to the communities in Santa Monica and nearby towns, it burned large swaths of the adjacent Santa...
Mark’s Photos #2
It was 2019, and I was on my second long section hike of the Continental Divide Trail, having hiked from Mexico to central Colorado the year before. I was now north of Rawlings, WY....
The Grand Sawtooth Loop Trail
How hard can this be, I thought to myself. I’ll just type “Sawtooth Mountains” into my favorite search engine and pick the best result to jumpstart my research on this trail. But hold on,...

This picture is stunning. I love it !!
Thanks Sue! What was really stunning was the way that sheep saw us, walked to the top of the prominence, and literally positioned himself perfectly before turning his head and looking at me. Like he knew this was gonna be a great picture.😁
Beautiful! and I love your companions in the picture
It is always a privilege to hang out with charismatic mega fauna.😁👍
I am honored. I can post an image of, say, a waterfall, from a hike that I won’t post for weeks since I post my hikes once a week on Saturdays.
Ahh! I wondered how you did your posting. Anyway, I liked your idea, so in the great old American tradition, I stole it.
“One or two photos and a brief text, and that will be the post. It will not necessarily be related to my longer weekly post about my upcoming adventures. I think I will post a photo more or less weekly. Anyway, that’s the plan.” That sounds like an excellent plan! Stunning photo, especially that you had the patience to wait for said bighorn sheep. I believe when people see “Dan’s Image” they know the entry will be short, they can click immediately. They don’t have to wait as they might when they have enough to read a full blog.
Well, I have a dozen years of thru-hiking photos and thousands of stories, so I figured I could figure out a few worthy short posts from that. We will see.
