ABOUT ME

My name is Alex and I have been a hiker all of my adult life. I first took an interest in hiking when I was in grad school studying environmental science. Since then hiking has been a way for me to connect with friends and family. Hiking to a view has always been the most rewarding. Standing atop a ledge overlooking a valley is the best way for me to truly appreciate the beauty nature has to offer. I will always try and capture the moment, because in that exact moment, no one is seeing what I see. I love sharing those moments with those who cannot be there. Creating this website allows me to share the best pictures, hiking spots, and scenery with everyone, so they too can experience the same joy and passion as me. Please check out the best hikes, best photos and best products for any outdoor adventure. Stay safe and happy hiking!
