Wilderness explorer Roman Dial has been traversing Alaska’s peaks, tundra, and rivers since the 1970s, documenting his hiking, bicycling, boating, skiing, and ice-skating adventures through photographs. This exhibition presents these images, which record changing landscapes, equipment, and approaches to outdoor travel and commemorate some of Alaska’s most well-known characters in the mountaineering and backcountry world.
