I love being out on the trail and exploring the wonders of nature. I have backpacked the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier and the “W” in Patagonia.  Also hiked the Tour Mount Blanc, Haute Route from Chamonix France to Zermatt Switzerland, Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and the Alta Via I in the Italian Dolomites.  And lots of places in the western states like the Grand Canyon and Half Dome and Zion.  I'm new to Central Oregon and am looking forward to all the exciting local hikes and experiencing the beauty of this area.
