In my evolution of enjoying the outdoors, I started off with a bang; running marathons, ultras and did a bit of mountaineering. Through all this time I had spent a lot of days at Mt. Rainier National Park, cranking out a Wonderland hike essentially every year (33 so far). But sometime in my 50s I started venturing off trail to experience lesser known vistas and started working on the “100 peaks” list. This opened up a new door to worlds not seen by staying on the established trails and continues to this day. As of the beginning of 2022, I have visited 62 of the peaks on the list, and of course hope to acquaint myself with more this year. This short is a glimpse into my journey.
