Over the summer I made a trip up to Crater Lake to visit an interesting native western tree, the whitebark pine {pins albicaulis}. These alpine trees grow at very high elevations which are generally to harsh for other vegetation. However, with warmer summers the whitebark pine is quickly becoming endangered due to the mountain pine beetle infestation. Pictured here is the bleached bones of what remains of a whitebark pine, looking through to Crater Lake and a tall mountain hemlock growing from down below. The @oregonexplored “looking through” reminded me of this image. #or_exp_012. @trailboundco // #trailbound #whitebarkpine #mountainpinebeetle #craterlake

Real stoked on this old photo of me that I just found on the old Sasquatch Canyon blog! 

Shot this one of my buddy chad osburn long ago when he got put on kinkbikes. Dude shreds! Originally posted on the kink site here

Pacifica park is one of my favorites around, just down the road with nothing but big pool coping bowls. So much fun. Kyle came along for one of the many afternoon daytrips i take out here. Stoked on this photo that he shot which ended up being ran in a recent ESPN gallery that you should check out.
