I am a silent sports enthusiast, enjoy XC skiing, canoeing & whitewater rafting, road & mtn biking, hiking & backpacking and exploring the national parks. I esp love hiking above treeline along roaring creeks, into alpine meadows bedecked with wildflowers galore, climbing up, surrounded by cirques with towering pinnacles above, reflected in aquamarine tarns below, vistas from mtn tops, waterfalls, lavendar sunsets & moonlit nights under the stars.
