I’m passionate about the wild places that envelop Seattle and define the Northwest and I enjoy sharing them with others. As John Muir famously said, “The mountains are calling and I must go.” I’d be delighted to take you along on a private adventure and show you why Seattle is the big city where people go to be closer to wilderness. I tailor each adventure to your personal preferences and provide background on the natural and cultural history of each of these special places.
