This site is intended simply to share photos and experiences from some of my trips and treks. After completing the John Muir Trail in August 2017, several friends and family asked to see photos and hear about the trip, and this type of forum seemed like the best way to share. The initial focus was the JMT, but I’ve added a few other recent hikes, and now that the backpacking bug is firmly set, as long as I’m able, I’ll have more treks to share. So many long trails and mountain peaks beckon!

The mountains are calling and I must go. – John Muir

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life. – Rachel Carson
