I'm so jealous.  As a 5'2" female, going into the desert alone, at night, is basically the beginning of a Criminal Minds episode.  When I was hiking in the Black Hills alone, I would stop into ranger stations to let them know where I would be going, and then check back in when coming back.  


It goes without saying that your photography is amazing.  I love that your vibe in these videos is always chill, but never blasé.  You get excited.  As well you should, this world is beautiful.

Even when conditions are mediocre in the Alabama Hills, it is still interesting to be there!

Wow Nick, during my wonderings up and down "California's backyard" as I called it, Hwy 395, in the mid 70's I discovered a 55 mph dirt road off hwy 168 out of "Big Pine" that leads into Death Valley through the Saline Valley north of the National Park. It's about a 50 mile drive which passes an old house with an artisan spring, an old borax mine operation, and beautiful mountian vistas. I even stopped and saw a huge "American Eagle" above a revenue along side the road one time; really cool. If you haven't noticed yet the wild flowers are going to be great this year. Have a great time in DV.

The image of that arch what a show stopper. The music you chose too. Wow that Alpine glow  crazy

Love the Black Hills, I go there often with my girls and they love exploring and then I go out all night and shoot.

Nick your story telling is outstanding !!

Excellent work, as always, Mr. Page. Damn... great shots, but my jaw hit the keyboard when I saw that early morning shot of Mt. Whitney!

Epic campfire/camp shots Nick.

On the one hand I am envious, having grown up in the southwest. On the other, I know first hand the joys of finally getting out from under the grips of old man winter. I just finished a week long trip to Florida after a brutal winter here in Buffalo, NY. So nice to be in short sleeves for a change. Great shots, so much to photograph there.

Love the video. Your astrophotography video a while back was the first video I saw from you and it led me to immediately subscribe. I’ve been following your adventures ever since! Side note - love the music choice for this video. Very appropriate to the calm, alien landscape

I was in Lone Pine ~13 years ago just passing through en route to Big Pine to spend the night there before heading to Mono Lake. I hadn't even heard of the Alabama Hills at the time; only found out about them after seeing them pop up in landscape photography videos. Can't believe I completely missed a chance to see them when I was quite literally already there.

I spent two terrific dawns and sunsets there in 2018. Can’t wait to get back!

That first morning photo was quite wonderful.

Thats what photography is all about. Solitude, nature, peace and quiet! Awesome, Nick!

Very cool images!

thank you nick

Beautiful shots - I prefer the morning photos because they less harsh shadows and more structure in the rocks. The Alabama hills remind me on the rock formations at Joshua Tree National Park (although it’s now more than 10 years ago) also a photogenic area.

Love it out there!

Living in Mammoth Lakes (105 quick miles from Lone Pine) The Alabamas are one of my favorite spots. So many places to shoot there at any time of year. (To those who camp in the hills... what you take in...pack it out!)

Cool pictures 👍
