Wild experiences in the Blue Mountains with wildlife, wildflowers, and wild weather for the spring 2026 season.. Here is a collection of pictures taken over the course of a few days spent in this scenic area of Eastern Oregon!

Some great news ahead! With a warm spring time hike that started off in the Grand Ronde Valley with the annual hike up to Mt Harris..

I apologize, I know my posting frequency latley has tamed a bit, but with much excitement.. I am pleased to announce that I have begun work on a book capturing all the highlights over the years of Eastern Oregon! Many thanks to those out there who are helping me reach this goal with the original idea, and the suggestions. I am so thankful to have you all in my life.

In terms of this hike, it's a personal favorite and one I wanted to experience one last time before a lot of this land switches to private property come June 1st. It will still be accessible, but under a permit system going forward. So I took the opportunity of the gorgeous weather we've been having to visit this area once again. 🌅

One thing I just love about Eastern Oregon, is the ability to go in any direction and find some spectacular variety of landscapes!

Happy New Year! 🎆 Looking back at 2025 with a few favorite images of the year. 2025, you've been so incredibly bittersweet.. but still put on a breathtaking show that felt so great to experience.

Honestly.. this year was quite a challenge, and never really went according to plan. It started off with an open sore on my foot that lead to a staph infection, and almost losing my foot completely. As a result, I couldn't walk for 2 months. During this time, our adventure rig blew its engine, leaving us without a car for a bit as well.

As the year progressed, many health issues plagued our immediate family, and Gunner was down himself for surgery to remove tumors that were a result of cancer. We also unfortunately had more vehicle issues than I have ever experienced in one year. 😕

However despite all this, we wouldn't let it stop us from experiencing the gorgeous scenes of the world around us. We were met with some incredible highlights even thousands of miles away from home..

Thank you all for sticking with us, and your support always inspires the motivation to keep us going. Being able to share it all with you is one of the biggest highlights of it all. Happy New Years! Here's to a new start next year. I can't wait to see where we all go next. Take care, and wishing the very best to you, and yours for 2026! 😎

A collection of photos from the area of the Wenaha River, Troy, and the Wenaha River Trail. Taken before things got pretty crazy!

It's been a while.. Sometimes life can throw a curveball or two, and change up the plans you have had in mind. I apologize for the space between posts. I have had a few medical emergencies within immediate family, and Gunner, our trail buddy Dog, has had to undergo surgery himself to remove some concerning bumps that have formed. Work has been in the process of the crazy holiday season, and the weather hasn't exactly been too kind on my days off!

However, my family is doing much better now, and with Gunner, is in the process of recovery. No doubt that things will slow down, and return normal in the time soon ahead. Really hopeful for some more snow, as it's been very unusually warm for December! I hope you enjoy the adventure.

Take care, and warm wishes..

Aaron. 😎
