Chris Burkard Instagram – Iceland’s highlands have long been a playground for both locals and newcomers.. offering the ability to connect with an astonishing variety of natural features all within close proximity to each other. You might be crossing glacial rivers, moving past steaming geothermal vents, or traversing colorful ridge lines that look as if painted by nature’s brush. This part of the world always sparks imagination and rejuvenates me every time I return… offering a little more perspective on where my next expedition could be or what creative project might capture it’s beauty for those to see who are unable to make the trip. Last fall I was lucky enough to share some spectacular weather in the highlands on a ride with the @maap.cc ALT-ROAD crew – traversing from hut to hut and scoring some of the best views Iceland has to offer… couldn’t think of a better way to spend a few days with friends.
