Canada Jay, you made my day! 🥰

On a little hike near Dillon, CO, we took a break by a pond and noticed several cute little Canada Jays watching us at a very close distance waiting to search for random food scraps after we left.

In search of Queen Victoria! (Bryce Canyon National Park) This photo stuck out to me as an inviting composition on a lovely cloud day along the Queen's Garden and its amazing sandstone formations.

A sunny day at Inspiration Point, but the snow squall is coming in fast!

Winter sunrise in Bryce Canyon! What a wonderful experience to get up early and be rewarded with such a view.

A few days after a big storm, I thought it would be fun to check out Hop Valley with a blanket of snow.

It's been a very dry winter in the greater Zion area this year, but last year, I had the incredible fortune of hiking Angels Landing during the "atmospheric river" snowstorm that blanketed the area in a foot of the white stuff.

Angels Landing Snowstorm Hike - CitrusMilo Adventures
Hiking Angels Landing during a winter snowstorm is a thrilling and photogenic experience, but it is not recommended for casual tourists visiting Zion National Park.

It gets better, but it does indeed take time. Sometimes you're going to be stuck in that dark place and you're going to have to find the strength to survive and ride it out.

The icy volcano formation at Ash Cave! Hocking Hills in winter is beautiful. (I took this on a mostly cloudy day and was lucky to have the sun pop just a bit to light up the sandstone in the background.)

A few days at 0 degrees F make the waterfalls freeze over and a temporary secret wonderland is formed. I just want to crawl back in here and hide from the world's problems...

A lovely winter view along the Bear River in Petoskey, Michigan. Morning walks in the cold are the best; so calm and peaceful.

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

Over the holidays, I got a chance to dig through some piles of images that have been waiting to see the light of day. This shot is of my buddy Scott on the 260-ft rappel into Englestead Hollow, an anxiety-inducing spot in Zion that lives rent-free in my head. 😂

Happy Winter Solstice! To mark the official start of winter, I thought I would share summer-winter comparison shots from the top of Angels Landing. Have a great holiday and see you all in 2025!!!

had so much fun with my Angels Landing Christmas tree shot, I decided to drag the fully-decorated blue spruce up the Kolob Finger Canyons. It was a much easier hike, but it's still a logistical nightmare to set up 1.5 miles of extension cables through a cold stream. Happy Holidays! 😂😂😂

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays! Angels Landing can be a challenging hike. It can be especially challenging in snowy winter conditions. It can be even more challenging in snowy winter conditions while dragging a fully decorated 25-foot blue spruce and 2.4 miles extension cords.

Towers of the Virgin during a glorious winter sunrise. I am ready for Thanksgiving; I am ready for the Christmas season, and I am ready to get cold and play in the white stuff! Bring it on! Who's with me?

Canyoneering paradise! My buddy Jeremy coming down through the giant floss pick. (This photo is not AI. Screw AI photos!)

The amazing Cathedral in Pine Creek, Zion National Park. I feel so incredibly lucky to visit and photograph these special places. This is NOT an AI image.

Hello, Bluesky! I am a landscape photographer who loves hiking, backpacking, and canyoneering. My favorite place on the planet is Zion National Park. The photos that I post are real and are taken by me. I really dislike fake AI images pretending to be genuine travel photography.

I am just trying out BlueSky to get my feet wet, so here is one of my favorite photographs to kick things off.
