Daniel Wheeler's Photos : Popular Photos : Trico Peak near Red Mountain Pass. We actually attempted to summit this mountain the day after taking this picture. The weather was nowhere like this day, and we were soon trapped in a major blizzard. After going a quarter of the way up the hill, we learned how to dig snow caves. After some very cold discussions with our guide, we decided to head back down as the weather was getting worse by the second. Still a great experience and got to snap a few pictures in good weather during our training hike like this one.

Daniel Wheeler > The Painted Hills at High Noon. We spent our final day of vacation driving and hiking in and around the Painted Hills. We found some incredible "hidden spots" and some really interesting mountains along the way. But when it was all said and done, there's still no beating the viewpoint where most people stop to visit. After living in lush green BC for 3 years, the high desert of Oregon is such an interesting landscape and welcome change.

Daniel Wheeler > Fire in the sky. This was the sunset from our first night at Raimiti. Most of the other nights, the clouds had built up in the West so much that the sunset was much more muted.
