Far North In The Lower 48

I’ve been tip-toeing around the northern reaches of the lower 48 before I jump into British Columbia and the wild Alaskan unknown.

Sure it may rain and snow a lot up North, but once the winter blanket is peeled back Life springs from the snowmelt of these gritty mountains. Up here there is still a sense of the undiscovered, perhaps because of its run-to-your-cabin cold winters. But where few people have been, the beauty remains… onward now kid.
