Moose Lake

Mike Needham — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 02:58:10 +0000

This was one of my favorite hikes. I had never explored this area of Idaho and the Pioneer Mountains even though I had driven by many times on my way over to Mt. Borah. The day I hiked was magical. The only other person I encountered was at the trailhead. I had the trail to...

Jennie Lake

To celebrate the 4th of July, I took my wife on a hike to Jennie Lake. She had never been there before but had always heard wonderful things about it. She wasn’t disappointed. Luckily for us, the wild flowers were blooming and the hillsides were full of flowers. A wild fire had burned the area...

City of Rock-Photo Safari-Fall 2018 City of Rocks holds a number of different photo safaris throughout the year. I was lucky enough to get into the fall safari. The staff gives you technical training on your camera, how to get off the default settings and answers questions while you’re shooting. It’s an incredible experience, not...

St Joseph Lighthouses and Pier

Mike Needham — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 01:20:06 +0000

This year, for our vacation, I took my family back to the Midwest to see where I grew up and meet some relatives that they had never met. We had a great time driving around Lake Michigan, thru Wisconsin and exploring the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, including Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore which I’ll post in...

Oregon Coast

For Spring break this year, we decided to pack up the car and head to the Oregon Coast and then onto Bend, OR. On our way home to Idaho we also stopped at John Day Painted Hills.

Elkhorn Crest Trail | Anthony Lakes

Mike Needham — Tue, 02 Dec 2014 00:48:51 +0000

This was my second trip to Anthony Lakes. The first was a snowshoe trip that will probably be posted at a later date. It was a typical fall Memorial day weekend in 2008, warm days and chilly nights. This trip was the first time I met the boy who would become my stepson, Anthony. It was funny...

Tetons July 2007

Mike Needham — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 00:13:57 +0000

I’ve always been fascinated by the Tetons and have photographed them many times. This was the first time I had a “real” camera and explored the park with child’s eyes. I’ll probably end up posting photos of different trips but to me this set seems to set the bar for my photography in the Tetons...

Lake Louise | Alberta Canada

Mike Needham — Sat, 29 Nov 2014 19:17:10 +0000

This was our trip to Banff in Alberta Canada. These pictures were all taken around Lake Louise, a popular destination that we explored one day. We looked around at The Fairmont Chateau which is a very nice Chateau right on the lake. It’s a good sized lake with turquoise water from glacier run off. We decided to hike...

Diamond Lake Oregon

Mike Needham — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 20:45:49 +0000

This was a trip that I took with my wife to Crater Lake Oregon. You can’t camp at Crater Lake but you can camp nearby at Diamond Lake. We went on this trip at the end of June 2013. Mosquitoes were thick as could be but the sunsets were beautiful. Mt Thielsen is visible from...

Fall in McCall Idaho

Mike Needham — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:54:52 +0000

Payette lake in McCall, Idaho is an easy and beautiful get away from Boise. This year my son was attending a science camp in nearby Ponderosa State Park and I was a parent volunteer. I took my camera with me and took a few shots before camp started. It was near the peak of the...

African Safari-Arusha

Mike Needham — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 16:22:55 +0000

This trip was my first time out of North America. I had run into a friend at a class reunion who was working on a novel. She was looking to put together a group of people to travel to Africa and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro to help her prepare and research for the book. For various...
