[PHOTO GALLERY]: Super Wolf Blood Moon Eclipse on Whistler Mountain
The conditions were just about perfect. Sure, it was cold, but that does something to the air to help you see a bit more clearly. Add in the fact that it was my birthday and the return of my Chinese zodiac (year of the Dog), and I was primed to witness one of the greatest […]
The Best Runs at Whistler Blackcomb
I grew up skiing Whistler Blackcomb. To say that I know and love the resort is an understatement where my actions speak louder than words, having carved a life here against the odds. But I’m not one of those jaded locals. I’m a fan of visitors, as the visitors drive the resort. Sure it gets […]
7 Tips For Exploring Kidepo Valley National Park in Uganda
An Affordable Safari Awaits You in Kidepo It’s not easy to get to, in fact it’s a downright mission from most parts of Uganda, and for that matter, the world. But that is part of the magic of Kidepo. Nestled in the far northeast corner of Uganda, in the region of Karamoja, is Kidepo Valley […]
The Best Church Service I’ve Been To Was Under a Tree in Africa
Sunday Morning on the Slopes of Mount Moroto I hadn’t realized that it was Sunday, as when you are out of your routine the days take on an insignificance. I had just returned from Moroto town where I was bandaged up and managed to miss the entire riding portion of the Tour of Karamoja festivities. […]
Exploring Moroto: Karamoja’s Bustling Metropolis
As far as cities/towns that I’ve visited go, Moroto is up there as “most unique”. On one hand it’s a testament to the developing world, with a mixture of NGO’s and government agencies propped up to share their agenda with the residents. On the other hand it’s a town that has been cut off from […]
Kampala to Karamoja, Uganda: A Photo Essay
A 12 Hour Journey That Took Us Back In Time Kampala is the largest city in Uganda, and as such, as most amenities most of us expect in 21st century life. But once you start to leave the hustle and bustle and roam onward, the scene fast changes to the reality that faces most in […]
Uganda Day 1: Kampala
The Adventure Begins I knew that the trip was going to be long, however what the mind understands and what the body endures are often at odds with each other. Mentally you can prepare for a 24+ hour flight but if you aren’t conditioned to sit upright for that long you begin to get a […]
An Aerial Tour of British Columbia’s Sea to Sky Country
British Columbia has an amazing winter. It’s pretty much unbeatable as far as scenery and diversity goes. There is so much to see and do that you would never see it all in a season, and be hard pressed to see it all in a lifetime. From the deep fjords on the coast to the […]
Exploring Idaho’s Wild and Natural Hot Springs
When people think of Idaho, the license plate is usually their main exposure, especially the tagline: “Famous Potatoes”. While the potatoes are the main export that people consider, that notion is a bit misleading. It makes you think of endless farm fields with nothing better to do than cultivate the vegetable that is so pervasive […]
The World’s Best Tasting Water Is In Greenwood, BC
I had driven through Greenwood, BC numerous times without knowing the fact that it was voted the world’s best tasting water. The town was always charming enough… at least in the daytime. When driving through at night you would be lucky to find the saloon open, if anything at all. This place seemed to be […]
Up, Up, and Away From The Trail: Lessons Learned From Getting Lost
Sometimes, even when you are experienced, you can lose sight of the trail in an instant. The other day my good friend Josh and I experienced this firsthand. It wasn’t exactly the most fun day I have had, yet I can easily say that it was the most productive of the week. Sometimes you can find […]
Shambhala: Not Your Average Music Festival
Explaining Shambhala Music Festival to people is a bit of a pointless exercise sometimes. How can you properly articulate a driving purpose through words and/or photographs? There is an emotion that you feel when on the grounds of the Salmo River Ranch in the British Columbia Kootenays. Yes, it is a 4-day party of mythical proportion. […]

North Shore of Kauai’s Best Beaches
The North Shore of Kauai is one of the most beautiful accessible coastlines on earth. I haven’t been everywhere but I’m willing to say that with confidence, and from what I’ve heard many people will agree. As the oldest island the Hawaiian island chain, it also has some of the most expansive beaches. As the least […]
The Hike to Hanakapiai: An Intro to Kauai’s Napali Coast
A Perfect Intro to the Na Pali Coast The famed Na Pali coast of Kauai is a region unlike anywhere in the world. Massive peaks protrude out of the sea creating a razor-edged horizon that can sometimes look like another world. There is everything you’d expect in a tropical island getaway (despite the fact that, […]
Kauai: The Garden Island – Get Your Bearings
Exploring Kauai Many people have probably seen images of Kauai but did not realize it. In movies, it has represented the faraway jungles of Vietnam in Tropic Thunder, the prehistoric playground of Jurassic Park, and countless other movies. Very rarely does it depict itself. Most locals are happy with this fact. If Kauai ever became something like what its […]
Top Apres Ski Scenes on Earth
For many, the art of the Apres (very appropriately transleted from french to “After” in English) scene is as important to the Ski Resort experience as sliding down a mountain with a waxed plank or two beneath your feet. It has been a staple of European ski culture as long as Jagermeister has been “curing” […]
Kayaking New Zealand’s Milford Sound
Originally Published in the PacSafe Blog It sits on the far corner of New Zealand’s south island, where the frigid Tasman sea juts prominently into a jagged coastline for almost 9 miles. The peaks around Milford Sound rise thousands of feet above sea level, creating an illusion of an intimate, compact area. In reality this […]
