The Dolomites

September 2026 · hut to hut, five days

Alta Via 1, southbound. Training plan: the sunrise runs finally pay off. Film plan: Ektar for the peaks, Portra for the rifugio dinners.

Dolomites, someday soon
  • Tram 28 rounding the corner

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Twelve hours in Lisbon

    A layover stretched to its absolute limit. The pastel de nata count stands at seven; I regret nothing except not staying.

  • Fushimi Inari before the crowds

    Kyoto, Japan

    Two weeks, one rail pass

  • Glen Coe in the mist

    Scottish Highlands

    The soggy loop that started Trailhead

    Five days of bog, mist, and the best light I’ve ever photographed. This trip is the reason the mud-forecast app exists.
