Home is a good place, especially when you have love, memories and hobbies surrounding you.

The trail wouldn’t be walkable without trail crew, especially ones as dedicated as these two.

The chorus of birds on both the Te Araroa and the Pacific Crest Trail were glorious. Hear them for yourself!

There was nothing like sharing a service with boy scouts right in the middle of the rainy Cascades.

The trail will provide and often that’s because of people who are generous just because they want to be.
