4. Travis Burke, The Wave, Arizona

Last night I didn’t sleep, I walked miles through the desert alone with no trail or gps and did jumping jacks to stay warm while shooting in below freezing conditions. All part of the adventure and the views were totally worth it! The Wave, Arizona. Shot with @GoPro #Hero4Silver.

5. Kathleen Buenviaje, Angkor Wat, Cambodia

The final shot of my Cambodia series has to be of the most famous temple in Angkor. Here, Angkor Wat, not from the typical sunrise photo you would normally see, but from inside. For a few brief moments, we had a part of Angkor Wat to ourselves. It was perfect. #theoutbound#lonelyplanet#watchthisinstagood#teamcanon#TLPicks#LPfanphoto#livetravelchannel#theglobewanderer#huffpostgram#livelifeproof#lovetheworld#yourtake#liveauthentic#SOVRNRepublic#optoutside#travelstoke#cambodia#siemreap#angkorwat#travelgram#tasteintravel#natgeo#natgeotravel#angkor#travelbucketlist#travels#LifeWellTravelled#wanderlust#instatravel#travelphotography

7. Nick Lake, Huntoon Point, Washington

As much as I’ve loved the mountain snow and deep powder, I’m bailing on the PNW for a few days to get some sun and (hopefully) warmth in the Grand Canyon. Thankfully this little guy, the @tentsile #Flite will be waiting for me to get back and into the Washington backcountry for some more snow camping in the coming weeks. Mt. Baker at sunrise. #freedom #tentsile
