Hiking

My love for hiking is deeply rooted in my California childhood, where the mountains were my playground and every trail was a new adventure. After relocating to Portland, I discovered a different kind of wilderness filled with dense forests and rushing waterfalls. What truly fuels my passion is the challenge itself: the feeling of pushing my body, step by step, toward a hard earned summit. The view from the top of a mountain is the perfect reward for sweat and effort.

Among my most memorable hikes are Mt. Whitney, Half Dome, and the oasis of Havasupai, each a unique adventure to remember.
