Columbia Glacier

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

The Columbia Glacier is a perfect example of Global Warming. This Glacier used to be a tidal glacier, but it has since receded to become a normal glacier. It is one of the largest glaciers in the world, but warmer climate has forced it to recede over 7 miles past its orignal […]

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Our first trip in Alaska was through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. We traveled from Chitina on a a dirt road for 60 miles to the town of McCarthy. I was able to tag a few signs with Backcountry.com goat stickers during the pit stops on the way out. From McCarthy, we trekked […]

My “Neophyte” Guide

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I was able to make my way to Alaska for the past week to spend sometime with some old friends. Little did I know that my guide had a reputation. This is a recent article from the Philadelphia Inquirer: To untamed Alaska. Beluga whales have been known to migrate to this area.

Try and […]

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Fabian on the water 2007

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Saturday was another classic day on the Jordanelle. The good ole boys got together to try and hit up the wake and enjoy the summer. Due to some light winds, we had to hold off on wakeboarding for the majority of the time on the water. After a brief battery incident on […]

Sunday’s ride

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I was able to make my way up Spiro at PCMR on Sunday and across to part of the Mid-Mountain trail towards Deer Valley. The ride made for the perfect jaunt, proving how great the mountain biking really is in Park City. Some facts about Spiro…

The name Spiro comes from […]
