My Expert Service

I can help you make good decisions about planning a hiking or backpacking trip to reduce the chances of having a bad experience. If you want to eat better than ramen noodles, gorp and granola bars, I can help.

Experience & Qualifications

I have hiked over 3700 miles of the North Country National Scenic Trail, have ridden a bicycle coast to coast, and canoe camped. I have organized and successfully led small group hikes in areas as diverse as Ohio backroads to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota. I am knowledgeable about plants, wildflowers, and wildlife. The bulk of my experience is in the Eastern United States. I have written a book about my experiences on the North Country Trail, and am currently working on a cookbook for backpackers.
