Photos by Matthieu Paley paleyphoto | In the early morning, women return home after collecting wood in the Yasin Valley in Pakistan’s Hindu Kush mountains. I slept here in a tent with my wife and two young sons (ages five and nine years old). After breakfast, we loaded our backpacks and headed toward the snowy peaks in the distance, en route for a 15-day trek. For the past 22 years, some of my best memories have been crafted in these mountains, pathfinding with a heavy load and a free heart. Swipe to see my five-year-old build a makeshift tent after crossing a nearly three-mile (5 km) glaciated pass close to the border of Afghanistan.
