Purpose
When I'm looking for great hikes I sometimes search online for photos of different areas. This website exists to return the favor.
Technical
Hillhaus.com has been hosted on Dreamhost since 1998. It operates on a modified PHP/MySQL blog script developed by B2Evolution. I'm constantly developing the interface and design.
As of 1/1/2008: 616,475 large images have been viewed.
I've finally installed a shopping cart and setup an account with Google checkouts, but until I get everything running smoothly please use the "contact" button at the top of the page to email me regarding any photo requests.
Environmental, public and non-profit organizations have permission to use my images without charge as long as they notify me first.
Add yourself to my announcement list and get periodic updates when I add new photos.
The view (east) of Moraine Park on the way back to the trailhead. The most popular views of Moraine Park include the mountains to the west. We hiked up into these mountains but the snow and wind prevented us from seeing most of the peaks. Here are a few photos by a photographer named Erik Stensland.
The view of Stones Peak (12,922 ft.) from the Cub Lake trail in Rocky Mountain N.P.

Looking north-northeast at the main portion of the Eagles Nest Wilderness. Tons of Aspen.
Looking south-southwest at the Holy Cross Wilderness. Mount of the Holy Cross (14,005 ft.) is the big one on the left. The name is derived from a snowfield on the mountain.
Looking east at the southern portion of the Eagles Nest Wilderness.
Looking west-northwest with the Flat Tops Wilderness on the horizon.
A now abandoned schoolhouse near Rollinsville. The founder of this mining camp outlawed saloons and dancehalls. Today the camp is one of the trailheads for the James Peak Wilderness. The trailhead is located at the east portal to Moffat Tunnel, which carries trains through the Continental Divide.
James Peak (13,294 ft.) and Haystack Mountain (11,780 ft.)

I made my own map with National Geographic software.
And made spaghetti with my new stove.
Getting close to treeline.
Switchbacks over the Continental Divide can be seen where wind has blown away the snow. This is Roger's Pass.
Hiking toward the Continental Divide, 11,200 feet.
