Ecuador 2025 🇪🇨

What a dreamy and magical place. Visiting Parque Nacional Cotopaxi and actually climbing the majestical volcano was a once in a lifetime experience. Completely humbled by the Earths beauty, the welcoming people of Ecuador, and our tremendous Guides.

I am hopeful and honored to have the chance to return in 2027. Who is with me!? Want to come to one of the most magical places in South America!? Please feel free to reach out and DM me for more info. You can totally do it! 💪🏼

🏔️Grand Tetons🏔️

While out in the backcountry of Grand Tetons National Park as part of my work for Blue Side Adventures. Just as we setup camp a light storm rolled through. After the rain stopped the sky remained moody, giving the lesser scene view of the Grand Teton an extra dramatic look. This is why I hike the long miles, to gain these views that few seldom see.

Oh Hey!

I always find it uncomfortable sharing pictures of myself. But sometimes it’s good to do uncomfortable things! I’m Chris, I adventure all over the world climbing mountains, trekking, and taking photos.

What else is there to know? 🤣📸🏔️

From the side of Kilimanjaro. {March 2026}

Highest peak on the African Continent. Looking out on an amazing sunset over her sister peak, Meru. We experienced lots of rain through out the 2nd, 3rd, 4th days on the mountain. Including some snow. Summit day was gorgeous however. I may be going back to this beautiful part of the world in 2027. If so, I can’t wait. 🏔️ 🇹🇿

Got a spark up my ass to finally post!

As I get ready to go back to Nepal and the Himalaya for the 3rd time I’ve been reflecting on my past experiences. Have learned and enjoyed so much there. We must be humbled by the mountains. We must know our place. We must respect.

Ecuador truly is a special place! Last year I was fortunate to visit this countries highest mountains, which are almost entirely volcanoes. Though its highest peak eluded me, I was able to successfully climb its second highest peak, Volcán Cotopaxi, which is seen here.
