Extreme Autumn: Fall in Colorado is an energetic rendition of what is otherwise a serene season. Forget gentle ponds with floating leaves. Toss the countryside red barn and maple tree out the door. And don't even think about that orange maple tree gracing a burial preplanning pamphlet. This is autumn Colorado Rockies style: high altitude, extreme, dangerous, and thought-provoking. Focusing on areas above 8,000 feet, the book delivers autumn from a plethora of angles: steep mountainsides, high-altitude lake shores, under full moon, river beds, in the snow, and best of all: from above with an...

Join the author on a journey photographing Colorado's 58 peaks over 14,000 feet from a 1949 Piper PA-11 antique aircraft. Useful to hikers, mountain enthusiasts, and anyone who likes pretty pictures, the book is part photo journey, part art, as each image presents the overwhelming beauty of every one of these foreboding peaks. Organized by mountain range, the book contains detailed maps, an index of where to find each peak, and data on image orientation relative to the 14ers. Containing over 111 images, the author also shares his stories of adventure to create the book: flying by the seat of...

The birthplace of the Colorado River is not one place in the Colorado Mountains; it is half of the mountains in the state, steep unforgiving alpine terrain with majestic amounts of snow. Largely off limits except to the most adventurous, the author set out to bring the source of one of the most controversial water sources in the country to anyone who wants to see it. Containing 95 images, the book is an aerial photography documentation of the Upper Colorado, Roaring Fork, Blue, Gunnison, Eagle, Yampa, and Uncompaghre River Basins as well as the mountain ranges that feed them, in stunning...

Stretching almost 500 miles, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a work of art in itself, a road passing through the highest terrain in the Southeast and snaking along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sandwiched on both sides by national parks with their own scenic highways, the author found that his personal passion for these parkways couldn't be contained by driving them alone. Called by stunning views and aggressive terrain, Garrett Fisher flew his 1949 Piper PA-11 from Gatlinburg, TN to Front Royal, VA photographing the Parkway from above. Intent on capturing the true essence of the foreboding terrain...

There is quite possibly only one place where not only can a person see wild horses on the beach, one can share a home with them. The Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina contain a majestic wild horse herd that lives on a barrier island sandwiched between the Currituck Sound, the Atlantic Ocean, and undeveloped False Cape State Park, Virginia. Literally at the end of the road, North Carolina highway 12 becomes the beach, embarking on a thirteen-mile journey of sand roads, houses, and wild horses. The author spent five months living inside the horse preserve, intent on photographing the...

A place like no other in the United States, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are an ever-changing swirl of sand, ocean, currents, and sounds, an almost mystical series of barrier islands sticking out so far that the mainland cannot be seen. When the author first visited this place, he had an immediate attraction that grew even more when he flew his antique airplane down the length of the islands in 2011. Finding that there is more to be seen of the Outer Banks than most people realize, Garrett Fisher dragged his airplane out to the coast for almost six months, regularly flying the length of...

Home to the highest terrain in the eastern half of North America, North Carolina not only contains the highest summit on this side of the continent, Mt. Mitchell (6,684'), it shares a list of 40 peaks exceeding 6,000' in elevation with neighboring Tennessee. Although these mountains exceed in height the entire surface of the eastern half of the United States, many of the peaks are shrouded in majestic Canadian pine forests, with views curiously lacking. An avid hiker and high altitude enthusiast, the author found that hiking the high terrain wasn't enough; he wanted to see it from above....

The beauty of Jackson Hole is no mystery to millions of tourists and skiers that visit Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks or partake of world-class winter sports. To the author, most of the area is missed as it is hidden away from roads, behind mountains, deep in the backcountry, or otherwise overlooked for favor of the highlights of the area. Spending hundreds of hours flying an underpowered and uncomfortable antique airplane through every nook and cranny of Northwest Wyoming, including its mountain ranges and wilderness areas, Flying Jackson Hole is a photography atlas filled with...

Since he was very young, Garrett Fisher stared longingly at books on America's National Parks, focusing eventually on Yellowstone as one of his favorites. Decades later, he had the chance to live nearby with an antique airplane restored by his grandfather, flying over the expansive park during all four seasons, with a special focus on the vast array of colorful geothermal hot springs. Perplexed by the inability to get as close as he would have liked on the ground, Garrett took to the air to find and photograph as many hot springs as he could, resulting in a book with 129 stunning aerial...
