What Is Forest Green British Columbia isn’t Vancouver. It’s almost 1 million square kilometers of outdoor playground. It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s very green.
A Quad Ride to Caribou Northern British Columbia is a pretty special place. Last weekend, we went for a short quad trip near Duhu Lake Recreation Site, located along the Alaska Highway just south of the Sikanni River. The result: 9 caribou, 3 grizzly bears, 1 wolf, and countless mule deer. And this wasn’t at [...]
Craft & Vision’s latest eBook, Andes: The Print and Process Series by Andrew S Gibson, explores photography as a journey. The images – 45 stunning black and white images from Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru’s Andes Mountains – are a statement to his experience. Exploring Photography as a Journey The images capture Gibson’s transition from film [...]
A Night Amid the Stars This image was fun to make and it represents what my 52 Week: Go Outside and Explore project is all about: learning new techniques, getting out from behind my computer, and connecting with nature through adventure photography. It’s my favorite image in a few weeks and I hope it motivates [...]
Another Postcard from Northwest Argentina? I’ve been running a lot, training for this marathon. I’ve also been writing a lot, completing articles for this website and this magazine. I haven’t been shooting, but I’m headed out overnight tonight to try and make a shot like this guy. Hopefully I’ll even have an interview from him [...]

The solution was simple, bus north to Bolivia and bike north to south instead of continuing our northward ride. Unfortunately, this idea failed to consider the geographical consequences. Catamarca [...]
Adventure Cycling Through Cordoba, Argentina After leaving our free home in Mina Clavero, we climbed 50 km to El Condorito. The switchbacks, called the Altas Cumbres, formed an incredibly beautiful climb. Condors soared a few meters from our bikes, the valley floor continued to fall below us, and our legs kept churning. After camping at [...]
Random Kindness Makes Happy Adventure Cyclists “Here are two more steaks,” Jamie said, “you can defrost them with the microwave. And there is ice cream in the freezer.” Only an hour earlier, we were biking from Nono to Mina Clavero in search of a campsite. The closed-for-the-season trend continues in Cordoba so our choice is [...]
The no-safe-water situation in El Encon turned into a blessing in disguise, as we’ve been smiling since we arrived in San Luis. We took a day off in the capital to rest up and allow fresh cuts to heal. Our trip to the local tourism office lead to new plans and left us with a [...]
We finally hit the road after the zonda winds delayed us twice. Our once loose-knit plan continues to take form and we have a clear picture of our upcoming route: north through Lavalle’s desert and Huarpes communities; east through San Luis’s isolated north; up, down, and around Cordoba’s Altas Cumbres before turning west to its [...]
