In the spirit of Summer vacation, Budget Travel just published a project I shot last Summer. I had the great fortune to travel into the Sierra backcountry near Mammoth Lakes, CA with my dear friend Dan Duane, joined by three generations of his family, as well as my favorite stylist, assistant and tent mate, my wife Marina. It was so rewarding to see Dan and his wife, along with their daughters and Dan's parents, hike the stock trails, lounge alongside alpine lakes and take in the views of nearby peaks. Watching the girls marvel at their surroundings, far away from a computer or TV was a great reminder that there is no substitute for the great outdoors.
It is always a pleasure to spend time with Dan's father, Dick Duane. This is a man for whom I have a great deal of respect, and as do all climbers, owe a huge debt of gratitude. In 2003, Dick led the legal team responsible for establishing Camp 4 in Yosemite National Park as an historic site. I feel truly honored to call this entire family, not only amongst my colleagues, but also my friends.

Great post Corey (looks like Rock Creek – one of my favorites). It is so rewarding to get kids out to the wild places and watch them shine.
