Welcome! I am a contemplative thinker and photographer from Colorado. In this blog, you'll discover photographs that I've taken on my hiking and backpacking trips, mostly in the American West. I've paired these with my favorite inspirational and philosophical quotes - literary passages that emphasize the innate spirituality of the natural world. I hope you enjoy them!

These sacred mountain temples are the holiest ground that the heart of man has ever consecrated . . .



"These sacred mountain temples are the holiest ground that the heart of man has ever consecrated, and it behooves us all faithfully to do our part in seeing that our wild mountain parks are passed on unspoiled to those who come after us, for they are national properties in which every person has a right and interest."

The Contemplative John Muir
