I am a life-long resident of California. For nearly forty years, my passion
has been to explore the wild places through hiking and backpacking, and
then do what I can to help preserve them from exploitation and
development. I have concentrated my travels in California but have
visited other areas in the West. I am the "wild hiker" because I love
the wilderness.
While my passion has been the wilderness, my hobby has been
photography. I decided to combine the passion and the hobby to
create this web site. I plan to post guides and photo tours
based on my experiences.
I hope this site will help others get a glimpse of what I
have experienced in nature's wilderness and plan their own
adventures.
California's wilderness is under constant siege by exploitive and
destructive forces.
Much of this pressure is due to
a growing population's resource demands, which need careful
balancing.
Sadly, there are also those who would selfishly ruin
the public wild lands for their private profit or fun.
If you value wild nature, I urge you to join an organization that
works to preserve it. My favorite is the
California Wilderness Coalition,
an effective grass-roots organization that has been successfully
preserving California's wilderness areas for
thirty years.
