Mountain Trips




This is my ideal of the ultimate way-trail: high, open, and aimed at Mt. Olympus in Washington's Olympic National Park.

Updated, 14June2024

This folder shows a small sampling of my mountain trips over a span that is longer than I should ever admit.   All trips are in the
American west, predominantly Washington and Oregon.   We lived in California in the early 1960s and I did a few trips in the Sierra
that were wonderful.    I may eventually add some descriptions of those trips.
