I went hiking in Palmer Park the morning after it snowed and captured this shot of Pikes Peak with a bluff from the park in the foreground. Palmer Park is a Central Park size area in the center of Colorado Springs that features dozens of hiking trails that wind around the series of large bluffs that constitute the park. I took this with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Canon EF 70-300mm telephoto lens.

I woke up early this past Saturday to photograph Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak at sunrise from the Mesa Overlook, one of the best places in Colorado Springs to get sweeping videos of the red rock formations and the 14k peak. I took this with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Canon EF 70-300mm telephoto lens.

I woke up early on Saturday to photograph the moon above Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. And here they are, in a long exposure photo taken just before sunrise. I ended up having more fun photographing the deer in the area, but made sure I got a few shots of the landscape as well. I took this with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Canon 17-40mm lens.

I took this photo this past January while hiking Templeton Trail -- my favorite trail in Palmer Park, a series of bluffs at the heart of Colorado Springs. I used a Canon 70D DSLR camera and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX lens.

The view from the top of Pikes Peak, the 14,115 foot mountain that dominates the western horizon in Colorado Springs. It's possible to drive to the top of the mountain via the Pikes Peak Highway. A small summit house with that serves donuts and hot dogs awaits you at the top. I took this photo with a Canon 70D DSLR camera and Canon EF-S 17-55mm lens. 

I work at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, which is located on the edge of the Austin Bluffs, a series of prominent bluffs on the eastern side of Colorado Springs. The bluffs behind campus offer wonderful views of Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and the western side of the city. I took this photo with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens.

Pikes Peaks dominates Colorado Springs' city skyline and is visible from just about anywhere in the city. This photo depicts the snow capped 14,000 peak in early spring, as seen from Palmer Park, a wonderful area for hiking in the center of town. If you zoom in on the image, you can just make out the summit house, a building at the top of the peak where they serve homemade donuts and coffee to carloads of visitors who drive Pikes Peak highway to the summit, and to the occasional weary hiker who's climbed the mountain.

Pikes Peak as seen from Palmer Park, a series of bluffs at the heart of Colorado Springs that are great for hiking and mountain biking. I took this photo this morning while hiking Templeton Trail, a 4-mile loop that takes you around much of the park and offers wonderful views of Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and downtown Colorado Springs. I took this photo with a Canon 6D DSLR camera and a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens.
