May/June Issue of Washington Trails Magazine

May/June Washington Trails Magazine

Washington Trails Association (WTA) originally started out as Signpost magazine in 1966. They have created Washington's largest volunteer trail maintenance program, and work actively to protect our trails and wilderness.  If you're not familiar with them, I strongly encourage you to visit their web site.  They offer a wealth of information for hikers, including current trail and road conditions, current issues affecting our trails and wilderness, information on volunteer programs, magazine subscription, and more.

I've been involved with WTA for many years.  My "Early Light on Prusik Peak" image won First Place in Landscape in their 2006 Pacific Northwest Photo Contest.  Since then, I've contributed images to their magazine and web site, and served as a panel judge for their annual photo contest.

The new May/June Washington Trails magazine includes one of my images of  Mount Rainier on its cover.  This image was taken just last summer from Spray Park in the evening hours as light softened on the mountain.  It was a beautiful evening to be in the mountains.

More of my images appear within the magazine.  They include an image of the Quinault River taken from Pony Bridge (Olympic NP), and also a couple that accompany an article penned by Eli Boschetti, offering suggestions for backpacking in Mount Rainier National Park.

If interested, you may view more images in my Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park galleries.

As always, thanks for visiting!
