Galen Rowell (1940 - 2002) had a love of climbing from an early age and began to photograph what he saw on his climbs so he could share what he saw with those he loved. He was not formally trained as a photographer, but you don't have to look at many of his images to see he had a true talent in capturing what he saw.
His love of hiking and climbing continued throughout his life and from what I have read, he spent his days doing what he truly loved. His photographs appeared in many publications, including National Geographic.
Sadly, he died with his wife in a plane crash on their way home from Alaska. He left behind a legacy that shows his love for the American landscape.
