Some wildlife moments from Yellowstone that really stopped me in my tracks. Bears. Bison calves (aka “red dogs”). And plenty of other furry friends, big and small.

A couple things I learned: When a bison spooks a grizzly and sends it sprinting in your direction, it’s exciting haha. And red dogs, much like actual dogs, are very much capable of the zoomies. Highly recommend witnessing this.

Not to preach, but a friendly reminder when visiting Yellowstone (or any wildlife area): practice LNT, keep a safe viewing distance, never feed animals, minimize human-related stress on wildlife, and be considerate of other visitors. Between people standing 10 feet from a bear, honking at moose, and leaving cars parked in the road, there’s no shortage of reminders that we can all do better. Lead by example. Educate when you can. Spread the word.

All of these were shot with the A1 (or A7RV) and the Sony 600mm GM (sometimes in APS-C mode), so I was significantly farther from these animals than the images might suggest. 📷

I can’t believe this weekend marks the last full moon of spring 🌕 Time is flying this year. Here are some of my favorite moon shots from a handful of places I’ll actually be visiting over the next 30ish days – each one a little different. Can you guess where these were taken? Drop any guesses ⬇️
46 years ago today, Mount St. Helens erupted – reshaping the mountain forever. Before May 18, 1980, it rose to 9,677 feet, a near-perfect cone often compared to Mount Fuji. The eruption knocked it down to 8,325 feet, blowing away the entire north face and carving the wide horseshoe crater that defines it today.

Loowit, the Klickitat name for this place meaning “smoking mountain,” was where I began my journey up Washington’s 100 highest peaks in 2023. My forthcoming book Cascade High – still available for late pledges on Kickstarter for a short time – recounts that history in its opening chapter, including the climbing history of the peak itself. A short excerpt ⬇️

“The year 1980 was also when Russ Kroeker became the first person to climb all hundred Bulger peaks. In the years immediately after the eruption, Loowit became a strange question for anyone chasing the list. The summit lay inside a newly restricted zone. Rumors circulated of early ascents, climbers quietly making their way up the broken slopes and peering over the crater rim to the steaming dome below. The mountain had changed, but the pull to stand on top of it had not. … I reached the top just before 6 a.m., moments before sunrise. Carefully minding the cornice, I looked down into the crater for the first time. I had to remind myself to breathe. The north side of the mountain fell away in a vast arc of broken rock and ice. At the base sat Crater Glacier, one of the youngest glaciers on Earth and a rare advancing glacier, thickening in the cold shadow of the walls that had once collapsed around it. A glacier that exists only because the eruption happened to collapse the north side, shielding the crater from direct sun.” #mtsainthelens #cascadehigh #volcano #eruption
Took a posting pause last week, so needed, but back now:)

Ready to share more, not just the high peaks, but everything in between. Starting with some small stuff: patterns, textures, shapes, and colors. The quiet details that don’t always make the cut. The big landscapes remind me how small I am in the big scheme of things. These remind me where I’m actually standing. What details have you been noticing lately?

Pictured: grass in the Methow, snow near Kulshan, ferns in the Skagit, wood near Loowit, larch needles in the Enchantments, and dried mud in the desert.
This is a thank you post.

My first Kickstarter ended yesterday. Because of 664 backers who believed in this project, is 275% funded and my first large-format photography book has been given life. Along the way, we raised $3,485 for. More trails protected, public lands defended, and doors opened to people who belong outdoors. Because everyone belongs in the mountains. And because the power of mountains, stories, and shared journeys can change lives. They changed mine.

None of this happens without you. Not the book, not the donation, not any of it.

With all the gratitude I can give – thank you!

Scott

Tonight at midnight, the Cascade High Kickstarter officially ends.

To the 626 backers (and counting) bringing this book to life: thank you. You’re taking us to the finish line.

If you’ve been thinking about it, there’s still time ⤵︎
Comment “Cascade High” and I’ll send you the link. 🏔️

Washington state has over 9,000 miles of trails. has spent decades making sure they stay open, protected, and accessible to everyone.

That’s the vision: trails for everyone, forever.

We’re proud to share that through 600+ pledges of my Cascade High book on Kickstarter, we’ve now raised over $3,000 for WTA – and counting. For each pledge, more dollars go directly toward the work that helps make hiking in this state possible: trail maintenance, public lands advocacy, and programs like their Outdoor Leadership Training, which equips teachers and youth group leaders with the skills and resources to take kids outside. OLT graduates can also borrow tents, sleeping bags, boots, backpacks, and more from WTA’s free gear lending libraries in Seattle and South Puget Sound – because cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting outside.

🚨 Only ~30 hours left on the Cascade High Kickstarter! (It ends at 11:59 PDT on Thursday, tomorrow)

If you’ve ever hiked a trail in Washington and felt grateful it was there, this is an organization that helped make it possible – and this is your last chance to be part of supporting them through the Cascade High Kickstarter. Link in bio.

Last week I traded the Cascades for the Land of 10,000 Lakes. I visited my home state of Minnesota for a series of Cascade High events, including a return to my alma mater St. John’s University, the first time I’d been back since June 2013, days before I moved to Seattle. *Fun fact* that visit was also when I posted on IG for the very first time. I’ll share that story in my newsletter tomorrow (are you signed up to get it?)

I also did two events in the Twin Cities, including a special evening with. Because public lands matter, and we’ve got to protect them for generations. So good to see family, friends, and familiar places.

Now we’re back and in the final stretch. The Cascade High Kickstarter officially ends at midnight Thursday, April 30 (!!!). This is the last week to back the book at Kickstarter pricing, and the last chance to get a signed copy through the Kickstarter. More details on what’s still available coming tomorrow.

In the meantime, swipe through a few more images from the book spanning the full range: the Chelan Sawtooths, the big volcanoes, wildflowers and lichen-covered rock details, alpine nights under the stars, and high peaks like Buckner and Jack Mountain.

Comment “Cascade High” if you’ve been on the fence. Thursday at midnight it ends. 🏔️
