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.

Saguaro

Matt Perkins March 13, 2022

The Saguaro cactus is one of the most prominent plants in Arizona. They can tower above the desert with an imposing height over 30 feet tall and weight (when full with water) of up to 4800 pounds. For such a large plant the root structure is relatively shallow with most roots only 4-6 inches underground but spread out from the base as far as the cactus is tall. Provided the right conditions the saguaro cactus can live 150-200 years.

Aspen Grove

Matt Perkins February 20, 2022

Growing up to 80 feet in height and living as long as 200 years, Aspen trees thrive best in locations with moist soil and plenty of sunshine, which makes Flagstaff a prime location.

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.

The Red Fox

Matt Perkins March 14, 2021

As fate would have it, I had the opportunity to take a short road trip from Phoenix to Colorado Springs recently with my amazing friend Taylor (@oh.hey.its.tay). On the way we stopped in Telluride as neither of us had been there before and thought a night in the mountains might be a good time. It did not disappoint. The views were amazing of course but perhaps the most unexpected moment was when this Red Fox crossed our path. I would like to say that I noticed it from afar and stealthily stalked it to a grove of tree’s where I managed to snap this photo……..but the truth is I wasn’t doing anything stealthily at 8700 feet sounding like a wounded water buffalo just trying to walk in the snow. Taylor was the one that noticed it and gave me the chance to get this shot. For my wildlife/conservationist friends I would point out that I shot this at 200mm from about 20 feet and for the most part left the little guy undisturbed……..although I did say “hey buddy” once at which point he looked directly at the lens.

HUGE THANKS TO THE LIFT OPERATORS AND STAFF AT TELLURIDE SKI RESORT WHO PROVIDED A FREE GONDOLA RIDE TO THE TOP AND THEN ALLOWED US TO RUN AROUND, UNINHIBITED, FOR A COUPLE HOURS WHILE TAKING PHOTOS.

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.

The Trees

Matt Perkins February 16, 2020

It’s not that we don’t have trees in Phoenix. We do….many different kinds in fact, but in general, they are used as decoration in outdoor malls or lining our streets. To go out and stand in a forest, however, you generally need to get out of Phoenix, which is what I did a couple of weeks ago on a trip to Prescott. While there I visited and hiked the Lynx Lake trail for the first time. The hike itself is a very easy 3.3 mile loop but provides complete immersion in the woods beside the lake and that is where the trees in this shot were found. The cooler temps that day mixed with the surrounding forest definitely reminded me of wooded areas back home in Wisconsin and the silence, aside from meeting the occasional fellow hiker, was a great reprieve from the noise of the city and the chaotic assault of sounds that come with working in the ER.
