Latourell Falls

Matt Perkins November 27, 2022

Latourell Falls is one of the few falls in the Colombia River Gorge where you could potentially walk right up to the water falling 249 feet from the top. Preferring to stay as dry and arm as the blustery day would allow, we climbed down to the water but stayed well back from the water’s impact point.

Greetings from Thunderbird!

Matt Perkins April 24, 2022

I’m trying to break out of hiking my usual trails and as such went hiking in Thunderbird Conservation Park in north Phoenix. The park incorporates the Hedgepeth Hills, named after an early homesteader that settled in the area. The name Thunderbird comes from a WW2 pilot training facility located 4 miles south of the park. Hosting biking, hiking, and horseback riding, the park claims approximately 15miles of multi-use trails.

Pyramid Trail Sunset

Matt Perkins February 27, 2022

The Pyramid Trail runs between the 19th Ave Trailhead and the National Trail. It is an enjoyable, yet challenging trail consisting of a 1 mile lead up to a 0.8-mile steep climb through numerous switchbacks and then leveling off to a ridgeline view of Ahwatukee and the Phoenix Radio Towers.

The Tree

This tree sits right next to the Seven Sacred Pools on the Soldier Pass trail in Sedona and seems to spring right out of the rocks.

Snow Covered

Matt Perkins January 31, 2021

The recent cloud cover, rain and colder temperatures culminated in a beautiful covering of bright snow on our tallest peaks around the valley. Shot from a wayside along highway 88 at a spot named the Apache Gap this is a 25 photo panorama that I stitched together to achieve the final result. I drove out to Canyon lake and took several photos from closer to the water but in the end decided that this wide open vista from a higher elevation provided a better representation of how amazing the view of the snow on the peaks against the blue sky really was.

The Elvis Chapel

Matt Perkins December 13, 2020

This chapel is a movie prop from the 1969 Elvis Presley movie Charo! This in turn sits on property known as Apacheland, an old movie set that has hosted numerous westerns and movies throughout the years. The church has been rebuilt and reconstructed multiple times after surviving two fires and being moved piece by piece to it’s current location along Highway 88. As seen it sits at the base of the Superstition Mountains and is still used today as an actual wedding chapel.

Cathedral Rock

Matt Perkins December 6, 2020

If you’ve never been to Sedona I highly suggest you go. The color of the rocks, the numerous rivers and streams, the miles and miles of hiking trails, and the almost unlimited locations from which to enjoy a view makes each trip I take there a true joy. After numerous trips to Sedona this overlook along Upper Red Rock Loop Rd. with an amazing view of Cathedral Rock is definitely one of my favorites.

Hole in the Rock

Matt Perkins November 22, 2020

In Papago Park there is a natural geological feature called Hole in the Rock which is…..exactly what it sounds like…a large rock formation with a hole in the middle of it. Clearly, this is not the best vantage point from which to see the hole, but the formation standing above the waterline caught my eye and was well framed by the palm tree’s in the foreground.

Treasure Loop

Matt Perkins November 15, 2020

Located on the far east edge of the metropolitan area of Phoenix and its’ surrounding communities, the Tonto National Forest covers an expanse of over 4000 square miles and includes almost 200 hiking trails. This is one of them…..or at least a trail marker for one of them. The Treasure Loop trail is described as a moderate 2.3 mile hike along the base of the Superstition Mountains.

Alta Sunrise

Matt Perkins October 25, 2020

Two weeks ago I had a photo pickup by Fox 10 news here in Phoenix and distributed to its affiliates. That was awesome………however…….the comments made it clear that many people felt it was a fake photo since there wasn’t a full moon on the date it was posted. So here’s how this whole photo thing works. I run out and take photos as time and energy allow…and then post them on an approximate timeline of once a week. I don’t always, however, post them in chronological order. A photo I take today might go up the same day, the same week…..or might not be posted until several weeks later. So I’m sorry for any confusion but this is just the workflow that works best for me.

I took this photo weeks ago. I came off my last shift for the week and stayed up to go for a hike. I headed out to Laveen to hike the Alta Trail and managed to grab this on the way up.

Camelback mountain rises at the far end of a street street in Phoenix, Arizona. The mountain is the home to two major hiking trails and few upscale residences built into the mountainside.
