Denali: Crown Jewel of our National Parks by Robert Glenn Ketchum

Denali:  Crown Jewel of our National Parks
by Robert Glenn Ketchum




Starting in 1985, I spent 24yrs. visiting Alaska several times each year. Of the many places that I went, my favorite was to stay at Camp Denali, where I often lectured and taught workshops. These images were all created during those numerous visits.

Denali:   Crown Jewel of our National Parks #37
Denali #37:  
There very few days of the year that Denali is visible, especially the summit, but on this day it remained breathtakingly clear all day. We followed the glacier valley to the last rise of the face where we got an amazing view of the double summit. We then turned north towards Camp Denali and flew over the sheer wall which was the preferred climbing route if you were approaching from the north.

Weekly Post, "The Daze of My Life: Robert Glenn Ketchum, An Autobiography"

The Daze of My Life:  Robert Glenn Ketchum, An Autobiography


Biographies are studies of someone's life based on cumulative research. Good ones may reveal something, but probably barely scratch the surface of what actually went on. The internet is allowing me to do something VERY different.

The Daze of My Life:  Robert Glenn Ketchum, An Autobiography #348
Daze, #348:  
Brilliantly, Joel / NRDC run more “ads” in the New York Times, and the London Financial Times, THANKING Rio Tinto for withdrawing their investment in the proposed Pebble project. “Chasing Ice,” the film about iLCP** photographer, Jim Balog’s documentation of climate change, airs on the National Geographic channel, is seen by millions of people worldwide, and wins an Emmy. President Obama uses Executive Action to permanently protect the fishery of Bristol Bay from oil and gas development.

To attempt some interesting kayak adventures, Carey and I needed a camp assistant, so Russell joined us to help.

An Alaskan Summer with Russell Daggatt, Kayaking, and Camping Adventures in Glacier Bay, and Hiking on Kruzof Island #59
Glacier #59:
Russell Daggatt, Carey, and I took the ferry from GlacierBay to Juneau where we booked a flight to Sitka. Carey and I had been in Sitka many times and it was one of our favorite cities in southeast, so we spent a few nights in a hotel and showed Russell around the town. We also bought supplies for next adventure, and we connected with a boat captain in the harbor that would take us to Kruzof Island where we had rented a US Forest Service cabin for several days.

Weekly Post, "The Chugach: Alaska’s Most Expansive Mountain Range" by Robert Glenn Ketchum

 The Chugach:  Alaska’s Most Expansive Mountain Range

by Robert Glenn Ketchum



Alaska’s most expansive mountain range at over 100-miles square. Dozens of summits rise above 10,000ft. and there is snow accumulation of 600 inches or more above 3,000ft.

THE CHUGACH:  Alaska’s Most Expansive Mountain Range #3
CHUGACH: #3:  
Early fall comes to the “ghost” forest on the road into Girdwood and the Alyeska ski resort. The Chugach mountains are already covered with snow and there will be much more to come. Interestingly since the lower slopes are near sea level they do not accumulate any significant snow depth, but 3,000ft. up there is a tremendous accumulation, and the upper elevations of the range may have 600 inches of snow or more.

The North Pole: Sitting on Top of the World by Robert Glenn Ketchum

  The North Pole:  Sitting on Top of the World

by Robert Glenn Ketchum




In 1998, and again in 2002, I had the opportunity to visit The North Pole, Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, and Yuzhny. Both times the journey was made possible aboard a nuclear Russian ice-breaker. These were unusual voyages into a strange-beautiful landscape, like no other on the planet, so hop aboard, and I will take you to some places you might not ever see otherwise.

The North Pole: Sitting on Top of the World, #74
NP #74
On our way to Novaya Zemlya, we navigate into some very open water and a very foggy sunrise, There is no wind, so the open water is glassy, and the rising sun creates an amazing reflection.

Weekly Post, THE SONORAN DESERT: Visiting with Don Juan by Robert Glenn Ketchum

THE SONORAN DESERT: 
Visiting with Don Juan
by Robert Glenn Ketchum

In 1988, I was contacted by Luther Propst, Director of the Rincon Institute of Tucson, AZ, who asked me if I could help them devise a campaign to protect a part of Saguaro National Monument from a massive real estate development that would disrupt substantial habitat.  I did so, and we not only succeeded in mitigating the development, we added 30,000 acres to the monument, and got it upgraded to National Park status.  While doing this work, I fell in love with the Sonoran Desert, returning to it repeatedly, and visiting the many varied parts of it in Arizona, Mexico, and Baja, CA.  This is the tale of those visits.

THE SONORAN DESERT:  Visiting with Don Juan #152
Sonora #152:
Most of the islands in the Sea of Cortez had no animals that were predatory to birds so the bird populations were immense. They were also unafraid of being approached, so on many of my hikes, I walked into rookeries, and no birds fled. Besides all of the bird lime, if you look carefully here, there are birds in many of the coveys.

Weekly Post, GETTING LOOPY: Cruising One of North America’s Greatest Driving Loops by Robert Glenn Ketchum

 GETTING LOOPY:  Cruising One of North America’s Greatest Driving Loops

by Robert Glenn Ketchum

One of the greatest camping and hiking circuits to drive in the entire country, starts from my home in Los Angeles, passes through Nevada, into Utah, and on to Arizona, before heading back to LA. Along the way you can visit 3 state parks, 6 national parks, 1 national monument, and 1 national recreation area. If you wanted to put in some extra miles, you could add another national park, 2 more national monuments, and 2 more national recreation areas. I will call out the latter as we pass them, but my images will introduce you to all of the former. Come take a drive with me!

GETTING LOOPY:  Cruising One of North America’s Greatest Driving Loops, #98
GETTING LOOPY, #98:  
Next morning we broke camp and planned to walk out. By now, Travis and Bryce had completely taken over leading the llamas, and here Bryce is just waiting for our group to gather up and begin the journey back to the highway.

Weekly Post, NO PEBBLE MINE Pictures From Ground Zero by Robert Glenn Ketchum (Posts #425+)

 NO PEBBLE MINE Pictures From Ground Zero by Robert Glenn Ketchum


Since 1998, I have been working to protect southeast Alaska, and the fishery of Bristol Bay. The fishery is an annually renewable, BILLION-dollar-a-year industry that employs thousands and thousands of workers in multiple states. 2021 provided the largest commercial salmon catch in history (64-million+). There is no intelligent reason to allow the proposed development of the Pebble mine to go forward and imperil these resources. The United Tribes of Bristol Bay, the United Fishermen of Alaska, Trout Unlimited, Trustees For Alaska, and the Natural Resources Defense Council, all oppose the development. Even Alaskan Senator, Lisa Murkowski, has stated her opposition. The momentum is building. Now is the time to SAY NO TO THE PEBBLE MINE permanently!

NO PEBBLE MINE, Pictures from Ground Zero #548
NO PEBBLE MINE #548: 
Fifty years ago most of the summits in the Wood Mountains hosted glaciers, but thanks to our changing climate, the mumerous glaciers have disappeared and have been replaced by remnant snowfields left over from the previous winter.
