I am a solo hiker that mostly hikes in the western USA: Utah, Montana, Wyoming. I am an expert hiking in bear country and I am very knowledgeable about Yellowstone National Park.

Since I am unable to travel right now, I am going to create "mood" blog posts of unique experiences on some of the hikes that I have blogged about already. Stay tuned ................
