Winter Hammock Camping (Does Not Mean Being Miserable!)
I’ve always been a fan of winter camping. I think it’s my way of channeling my inner Minnesotan. The first reaction I normally get from folks (not all of course) in response to winter camping is usually a look of “shock” and “why on earth would you do that?” Here is why, there’s something peaceful…

Ozark Snow
Long time no see everybody! I haven’t written in quite some time. Since the last time I did write, I’ve probably gone on half a dozen close to home travels. Enough to where I won’t get back to recap each and individual one. I also found myself taking my annual break after the holidays from…

This Year’s Fall Color
It’s been a great fall in my opinion. The colors haven’t been as vibrant but the temperatures have been absolutely fantastic. It really felt like someone just flipped the switch from excessive heat to comfortable crispiness. Three weekends in a row I was able to get out and chase the change. Weekend one was essentially…

Chasing Ice At Hawn State Park 2/9/2019
Cascades, winter views, and lots of ice. Last week’s rain prior to subfreezing temperatures gifted us with the best ice I’ve found this winter season here in the Ozarks—so far. Pickle Creek was rushing with cascades and small waterfalls while icicles formed on the banks and cliffs. It was generally right around 30ºF for the…

Icy Sunrise on the Mississippi River 2/2/2019
This morning I decided to get up for sunrise and head to the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and a quick stop at Chain of Rocks. It was a moody and foggy morning complete with ice fields and some subtle color during sunrise. It was a nice treat. Enjoy! —Jake

Ozark Winter: Ice Exploration 1/27/2019
There are so many little canyons, shut-ins, waterfalls, cliffs and bluffs in the Ozarks. This time of year the Ozarks really put on a show. They are easier to explore. The views are better. And ice forms on the bluffs and cliffs of this old mountain range’s hidden canyons. The water is crystal clear and…

Pickle Springs: Snow & Ice 1/21/2019
Cabin fever was setting in. I went on a mission to cure that via a snowy trek and some hopes for great photographic opportunities. A quick drive down to Pickle Springs near Sainte Genevieve is where I ended up. Arriving to a great dusting of snow and some absolutely incredible ice formations on the cliffs…

Winter Views Along the St. Francis River 1/15/2019
We actually got some winter here in Missouri this past weekend. Generally, a good quarter of the state received around a foot of snowfall. A rare snowfall that allowed me to even get out and snowshoe! Although just south of us received a dusting, it was still a nice addition that added life to the…

From the Archives: Montana Winter 2/24-2/26/2017
When it comes to physically active and outdoor-minded folk, we all enjoy certain things in life. Some of us enjoy a relaxing day fishing, running a marathon, bagging that moose or deer to fill the freezer, or even just preferring outdoor labor as opposed to an office job. Some of us enjoy the warmth of…
