July 14 – Around Dewdney Trail

This isn’t a full hike as I only planned on spending 4-5 hours out there, but I was curious to check out the Dewdney Trail from the Cascade parking lot in Manning Park as I had only been there once before when it was far 

Rhododendron Flats in Manning Park

Rhododendron Flats in Manning Park

I travel through E.C. Manning Park pretty frequently as the drive itself is pretty fun in my car, and I do also like to make stops in the park along the way. I’ve stopped at the Rhododendron Flats area a few times in the past 

June 10 – Cache Creek / Hwy 1

June 10 – Cache Creek / Hwy 1

  For this trip I took one of my favorite drives along Highway 8 around Spences Bridge in order to look for trains along Highway 1 (Trans Canada) between Lytton and Cache Creek. While I did find some potential spots to do some shooting from,

May 27, 2020 – Slocan Valley

  A frequent drive for me is Highway 6 from the Castlegar area up toward New Denver. This winding highway goes up into the mountains and also down around Slocan Lake. This particular spot is actually the Slocan Lake viewpoint which you can stop at

May 27, 2020 – Highway 31A

  One of my favorite drives is around the Slocan Valley and on this particular trip I was originally planning to check out a waterfall up past Nakusp. On my return trip I figured there was enough daylight left to quickly head up Highway 31A

November 14, 2019 – CRX Night Photography

This was mostly just a night cruise before all the roads freeze. I took my CRX up the highway a little past Sicamous for fun, stopping at this particular stretch of the Trans Canada Hwy that has a smaller road running parallel. For this shot

November 5, 2019 – Barnes Lake

This is a location I recently found while poking around maps and street view. The location is not far from Ashcroft, BC and I timed my arrival for around sunset. The “recreation site” I took this from is basically a single campsite on the side 

Old Rail Bridge – Highway 97

Old Rail Bridge – Highway 97

I was headed north on Highway 97 to Chasm and I noticed this rail bridge over an old stretch of road. Wanted to get a closer look as it seemed odd for part of a road to just be sitting there going nowhere. Had to

September 19, 2019 – Nancy Greene Lake Loop Trail

While I had just stopped at this lake last week for an evening photo, I was interested in doing the loop trail which goes around the lake. The trail starts and ends at the main beach by the parking lot and follows the water closely
