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.

Even though it felt like summer today, parts of the Fern Canyon trail were very slippery with ice and packed snow, especially near the summit of Bear Peak. The loop we used to climb South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak was 9.5 miles long and gained 3,480 feet in elevation.

The Loch with The Sharkstooth (12,630 ft.) in the background. The trail to the Loch, and past it to timberline through Loch Vale, is one of the best snowshoe trails in Rocky Mountain.

The trailhead for the Chicago Lakes trail. Looking toward Mount Evans.
