I turned to my left and said, “Hey, moose.” I didn’t hear a sound until I was right on it. I said to my friend, “Here’s a moose.” “What? Where?,” he replied. “Right there,” pointing about twenty feet away. We looked back to our guide for advice. He was quickly walking in the opposite direction. No worries. This one was a good boy.
What a great day hiking in Oregon! My goal was to get to the Columbia River Gorge, more specifically Oneonta Gorge. I soon found out that the river had recently experienced a flash flood which caused a massive log jam. I was hoping to hike further up the river so that will have to happen another day. Plus, the water was cold on my toes! I really hate that. Luckily, very near by are other world reknowned waterfalls and remarkable landscapes. I've included a few here. Enjoy!

Standing above a hole in the lava rock looking at the molten version below. Very anxiety inducing.
One waterfall apiece. I really thought I was about to see a hat trick of Darwin awards. Notice all three people are standing on a damp, slick surface with a level 10, code red deacceleration trauma at the end of a long slide - all for a photo. It was really worrisome to watch people do this. Two other girls were doing the same thing moments before. However, these three seemed so intent on lining up with their own waterfall exit you could hear the moment knocking at the door even above the roar of the crashing water. Luckily, nothing happened. That being said, things like this do happen every day this time of year. Our national parks are stunning places and this hike was one of the best I've undertaken in a long time. So many waterfalls and beautiful scenes. With all that I saw, I couldn't get this potential tradegy out of my head - and it didn't even happen. Be careful as you enjoy an amazing summer. Remember, if you die - that story will be told over and over. Don't let it be a face-palm ending. Stay safe!

In #LosAngeles and #griffithpark I was shooting for a doc I'm wrapping up when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Five coyotes! I tracked them for about half a mile and was about to get ahead of them enough times to shoot this. Very exciting! #wildlife #nature #Predator #LosAngeles #coyote #environment #natgeo #natgeowild https://www.instagram.com/p/B51IL-2pigm/?igshid=1apyw36a9mymd
Triple Falls, Upper Horsetail Falls. A great couple of hikes today just east of Portland along the historic route 30. Absolutely fantastic way to spend the later part of day.
