In Backpacker Magazine March 2012 issue is an article entitled: “America’s Newest Long Trail”. The article details what the author says is the best 120 miles of the trail, all in the Pasayten Wilderness in Washington. 6 of the images in the magazine are mine, including a 2-page spread! here is the image:

Your photos are beautiful; they made me miss the Pacific Northwest (minus the rain). Thank you!
Yes, minus the rain…I am definitely a fair-weather hiker, I tend to wait for the good streak of weather before debarking on an overnight trip…have you landed somewhere with fairer clime?
Nothing too exciting or exotic…Toronto. I much prefer the weather broken down into seasons other than “rain” & “non-rain”. Although, till yesterday there wasn’t much of a winter to speak of, so fairer clime indeed.
Congrats on the magazine layout! wonderful photo!
Thanks Erin, When the tulips start to pop up we have to arrange a meeting in Mt Vernon for some evening on a weeknight…
Andy, that would be great! looking forward to it now.
