Galleries
by Katie Scott Aiton Dec 9, 2015

EACH WEEK WE CHOOSE OUR favorite images from readers, fans, and travelers, who tag their photos with #travelstoke and post them on our Instagram account. These pictures provide a daily dose of inspiration, and challenge us to photograph the world in innovative ways.

This week, we’ve dedicated our gallery to the students at MatadorU. Here’s this week’s editors’ picks of our students finding some serious #travelstoke:

1. Andy Best getting ready to hit the road in the Alvord Desert, Oregon.

2. Lizzy Gadd shoots in Lynn Canyon Park, BC.

Always a favourite chill spot. 💚

Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19.710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mounain in Africa. It’s western summit is called the Masai ‘Ngaje Ngai’, the House of God. Close to the western suummit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
