Earlier this summer we were down in Park City to shoot a job for the Utah Olympic Park. Other than offering up a world-class training venue for olympic athletes, the park also offers activities open to the public.

Swimming and diving the alpine lakes remains an all time highlight of our 200-mile traverse across the Sierra Nevada last fall. There are literally thousands of these precious gems along the high route, each twinkling in the ever present sunshine. Our crew adopted the practice of the daily swim right from the start. This usually […]
