Traipsing up, down and all around Blencathra, Wordsworth's muse, on a perfect summer day. #lakedistrictwalks
Helvellyn peak in Britain's Lake District. Jolly good!
If only 10% of Yellowstone visitors make it into the backcountry, how many of those fall in love? I can only say two for sure. 365 days. #lonestargeyser #happyanniversary
When I crawled inside the dream of Georgia O'Keefe. Somewhere in #patagonia #argentina
Sometimes I find places that take my breath away, with no previous expectation, and it is the best kind of discovery. #notags #notfamous #explore #nofilter
Today #tompkinsconservation is handing over 1 million acres to Chile to become #nationalparks. Today we make history. Many thanks to those who worked over 25 years to make this wild vision real. #patagonianationalpark #pumalindouglastompkins #nationalparksweek
Earlier this month I went huemul tracking with Don Daniel, wildlife monitor in Parque Patagonia. The park shelters 10% of this endangered species, whose world population is only 2000. We found a family of three, including this handsome buck and his 5 month old fawn. Without the radio collars they would have been extraordinarily hard to find. I love how hiking off-trail makes you feel even more a part of the landscape. #patagonianationalpark #huemul #tompkinsconservation #endangeredspecies #protectourspecies
The best kind of day at the office. #fallfoliage #tompkinsconservation #patagonianationalpark #carreteraaustral #patagonia
Chile's first ever mountain bike trail in a national park: Sendero Furioso. Coming soon. #patagonianationalpark #mountainbiking #tompkinsconservation #furioso #chiletravel
When you live on a volcano, you appreciate its transformations so much more. #volcanchaiten erupted over a decade ago and its exuberant vegetation tells a story of hope. Plus, for my money it's the best shortish hike on the #carreteraaustral #pumalin #trekkinginpatagonia
Moose sightings, post-holing through spring snow and camping with friends... hope you love this place as much as I did my research. The 5th edition of Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks is out! #lonelyplanet #grandtetonnationalpark #nationalparks #yellowstonenationalpark

From Bob's lips to Lago Belgrano: Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm #refugio #parquenacionalperitomoreno #trekkinginpatagonia with thanks to photographer @bradley_mayhew
Like the fox with the little prince, some mountains don't acquiesce so easily. I waited long on this distant shore while the sun rushed icebergs to become water. It could have been boring but there was so much happening between the unpuzzling of the ice floes, lit by shadows, and a few dancing dragonflies. And then, the white curtain shifts. San Lorenzo, valió la pena. #parquenacionalperitomoreno #trekkinginpatagonia #worththewait
Summer snow flurries veil our walk's destination, a shelter in Argentina's #parquenacionalperitomoreno #route40 #roadtrip #trekkinginpatagonia
