Digging Thru The Ruins Of The Ontario Silver Mine

By DARREN ALFF on

Mark Davidson and I hiked up to the entrance of the Ontario Silver Mine here in Park City found a couple old buildings filled with core samples from the mine. I even found one that looks like it has silver in it. We also found piles and piles of rat shit.

Solo Skiing At Deer Valley

I shot some random footage while skiing at Deer Valley Resort yesterday, so I decided to make a video.

Christmas In California

By DARREN ALFF on

Last year I was in Nazca, Peru for Christmas and Arequipa, Peru for New Years. This year, I was back at home with my parents, sister, friends and family in Camarillo, California for the holidays. Despite owning my own condo in Park City, Utah for more than six years now, I have yet to spend even a single year in the snow during the winter holidays. It is always so strange to be celebrating Christmas in 80 degree weather.

The Secret Of The Lost Machu Picchu Photos

Darren Alff's photos from Machu Picchu, Peru

When I was in Cuzco, Peru earlier this year, my dad came out to visit me and we traveled around the Sacred Valley together – including a trip to Machu Picchu. A couple weeks later, the hard drive on which I was storing all my Peru photos, failed. My photos and videos from Peru were gone! Luckily, I had most of these photos backed up on my laptop computer, but my photos from Puerto Maldonado, Cuzco, Machu Picchu and my tricycle touring adventure in Southern Peru were gone forever!

One Day In Lima, Peru

By DARREN ALFF on

I shot a bunch of video while traveling through Peru earlier this year, but I wasn’t able to edit or upload any of that video while I was in the country. Now that I’m home, however, I’ve had a chance to go back and look at all of the video that I shot while I was in South America. This video is the first of what I believe will be three videos from my time in Peru. What you see here is a short video diary of my time in Lima, Peru. I tried to capture both the noise and traffic of the city, while at the same time showing off some of the more beautiful aspects of Peru’s capital city.

Motorcycle Touring In The Pacific Northwest

By DARREN ALFF on

One of the things I’m really good at is dreaming up some wild scheme and then working away at it until it becomes a reality (even if it takes several years in order to make the initial idea come to fruition).
