Photographing Auroras in Iceland @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2013/04/12/iceland-photographing-the-aurora
Travelling the world one click at a time. Photographing Auroras in Iceland. Anne and I read up quite a bit on the subject and there are a number of excellent articles and e-books on the subject. As a short read, EPhotoZine has a nice article outlining some of the basics: How to Photograph the Northern Lights. A far more complete tutorial written by Patrick Endres on how to photograph the northern lights can be found on his website AlaskaPhotographyBlog.com. Or the OVATION aurora forecast. There are a lot...

Zion National Park @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/05/22/zion-national-park
Travelling the world one click at a time. Anne had a conference in Las Vegas last week so we took the opportunity over the long weekend to visit Zion National Park and hike some canyons. Anne’s always super on top of stuff like this, and like the pro she is was able to get us permits for both the Virgin Narrows overnight as well as the Subway over the Memorial Day weekend. Pretty amazing! Guidance from ZAC that about 50% of hikers in the Narrows were renting pants. The trail starts simply as a road meand...

South Sister, Oregon @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/06/14/south-sister-oregon
Travelling the world one click at a time. South Sister, Oregon. Anne and I have talked about climbing the South Sister in Oregon for a little while now. We decided this past week-end to use the excuse of our six-year anniversary to take an extra day off, drive down to Bend, and notch the peak off our tick list. In an enchanted forest (photo by Anne Archambault. Coming out of the whiteout (photo by Anne Archambault. Crazy Rime Ice (photo by Anne Archambault. The final ascent from the rock rib to the summi...

http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/03/07/haute-route-day-11-gruben-to-st-niklaus
Travelling the world one click at a time. Haute Route Day 11 Gruben to St. Niklaus. Day eleven marked the last true day of tough hiking with a route that lead over the Augstbordpass and into the Mattertal valley to St. Niklaus. We woke early, grabbed a filling breakfast, and headed out into the cool and overcast morning. For the previous couple days, the weather had been starting to turn more seasonal, both cooling and becoming more overcast. This path descends directly down a small side valley before cu...

Mt. Curtis Gilbert – Goat Rocks Wilderness @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/08/17/curtisgilbert
Travelling the world one click at a time. Mt Curtis Gilbert – Goat Rocks Wilderness. In the Goat Rocks Wilderness has been on Anne’s and my climb list for a while. Given that we hadn’t been on an overnight backpacking trip since our Zion Narrows trip. And that the forecast looked promising, we decided to give it a go. Peggy Goldman’s Washington Scrambles. It turns out our PCT through hiker’s name was Darrell “Chimp” Johnson and he unfortunately wasn’t able to complete his yoyo PCT...We arrived at the tra...

Havasupai: A Grand Canyon Oasis @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/10/11/havasupai
Travelling the world one click at a time. Havasupai: A Grand Canyon Oasis. Anne was in Phoenix attending the Grace Hopper conference and so we made plans with our friend Valerie (of Haute Route fame) to hike into Havasu Falls. Camping reservations into the canyon are notoriously difficult to get given the popularity of the hike. However, Valerie was doggedly persistent and able to secure camping reservations by calling repeatedly until a camping space finally opened up. The hike drops elevation quickly a...

Cathedral Cove @ Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/2014/11/26/cathedral-cove
Travelling the world one click at a time. Situated on the Coromandel Peninsula, Cathedral Cove offers sea stacks and a large archway that connects two beaches. Images taken here at the right time (the beach faces east) looked incredible online. Unfortunately, our schedule didn’t really allow for photography at the extremes of the day so we did our photography in the late afternoon. Photo by Anne Archambault. Cathedral Cove – wideAngle.ca. 8230;] Cathedral Cove is located on New Zealand’s Coromandel...

Clicks & Trips
http://clicksandtrips.com/page/2
Travelling the world one click at a time. Haute Route Day 10 – Zinal to Gruben. Anne and I headed right and started the steep ascent towards the col. This trail was obviously new, created by some crazed Swiss farmer who drives heavy machinery directly uphill rather than forming more logical and well graded switchback. Here the trail climbs steeply towards a small house and barn where it again levels out, crosses a pasture, and then again climbs steeply towards the col. Stage 9 traverses back down the Val...

Travelling the world one click at a time. Photo by Anne Archambault. The track mostly follows the coast line, sometimes on beach but mostly on very well maintained trails in the forest overlooking the Tasman Sea. The myriad streams and small canyons along the way are bridged — some with impressive suspension bridges. In two places, there are relatively significant tidal crossings that can only be done within an hour or two of low tide. Photo by Anne Archambault. Beaches and Beautiful Blue Water. Of cours...
