Welcome! Come meet other local photographers who also have a love of nature. We plan to schedule a mix of day trip hikes and overnight backpacking to more remote locations. Hikes are generally tough, but will be at a photographer's pace to allow time to compose those great shots along the trail. Once we reach our destination we usually stay on location in order to make the most of golden light and sunset, hiking back under cover of dark with headlamps. Landscape and nature photography is the …

Meet other out-of-shape local hiking enthusiasts in this dog-and-family-friendly group. We'll set a slower pace, and start with easier, shorter hikes. Please note: I mean HIKES not walks down nature paths. :) There may be some walks down nature paths, but please be prepared to do real-life hiking.

If you aren't interested in pushing yourself just that lit …

I will concentrate on day-hikes in the Cascade Mountains along the I-90 corridor and also Mt. Rainier.  These areas are way too crowded on weekends and are best enjoyed in the relative peace and quiet of a weekday. Most hikes will be …

Do you feel closer to God, Spirit, the Universe, or whatever name you have for that ineffable something, when you’re surrounded by nature?
