I am an avid Pacific Northwest hiker, birding enthusiast, tree hugger, and hike leader for the Seattle Mountaineers (a member for 33 years). I prefer to lead Mountaineers hikes on Tuesdays and get out with my 10-year-old Labraheeler or college-age daughter when the opportunities arise. I HATE finding poop bags and orange peels or other litter on the trails. I LOVE posting trip reports to expand my community, raise safety awareness, grow consciousness for proper trail etiquette, and meet like-minded outdoor enthusiasts.
