Roadtrip through Canada

I had never been to Canada and it definitely wasn’t a long enough trip but we managed to sneak in a visit to the Reversing Falls to watch the river change direction, Bay of Fundy to walk on the ocean floor and Cape Breton to drive the Cabot Trail. Not bad for a weekend 🙂

Climbing Mount Katahdin in Maine

After leaving Mount Mansfield, we had a long hard conversation about the rest of this trip. We intended on traveling east into New Hampshire and tackling Mt Washington before driving north to Mount Katahdin in Maine. But time wasn’t on our side. Besides the debacle in New York, getting to, up and down Mount Mansfield had taken longer than expected. … Read More

Highpointing Mount Marcy in New York

“Highpointing has changed my life in so many ways. The first way is the reconnection with my “”Gramps.”” He has become absolutely enthralled in the project: printing me maps, wanting to proof my photos, and insisting that I use his house as the base for my northeastern expeditions. This is how I found myself on the floor of his family … Read More
