Our Love of the Outdoors
Our first backpacking experience was in the late 90’s as we hiked around Washington’s Mt Rainier on The Wonderland Trail. It was super difficult having elevation gains & losses at the equivalent of ascending/descending the mountain twice! We were hooked. We’ve done many day and weekend hikes since then. In 2019 we set out to thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail, stretching from the boarder of California and Mexico all the way up to the boarder of Washington and Canada. What a crazy ride that was, even when it didn’t go according to plan. The foundation of our marriage is rooted in dirt, stream crossings and long meandering paths. It’s a good life!
Hiking History Over the Years
We hike to be outdoors, to experience nature in all her beauty, to connect with each other and with other hikers. Hiking fills us with peace and exhilaration for what our bodies can accomplish. Lots of miles = lots of trail snacks! That’s another great bonus!
