About

Backcountry photography, hidden waterfalls, and forgotten places.

For over a decade, I've been exploring the backcountry in search of places most people never see–hidden waterfalls, natural arches, and the quiet remains of forgotten towns.

What started as a way to document my own adventures turned into something more: a way to preserve and share the stories of these places before they are lost to time.

Who Am I?

My name is Adam Thompson, a fine-art photographer based in Denver, Colorado.

I feel most at home miles from the nearest road–navigating rough terrain, chasing new waterfalls, or following a map to something I'm not even certain exists.

I'm especially drawn to:

  • Remote waterfalls
  • Natural Arches
  • Abandoned and historic places

The difficulty of reaching these places is part of what makes them worth visiting.
