About Me
Hello there!
My name is Tony and I live in Washington State, where I have developed a passion for hiking.
I've always enjoyed hiking, but I was a casual fair-weather hiker for most of my life. Once the kids moved out and a few injuries caused me to give up on playing soccer and basketball, I turned to hiking as a way to stay active and healthy. Hiking has now become a way of life for me. Over the years, I've explored many of trails, lakes, and mountains in Washington State, primarily in the Cascade Mountains, discovering breathtaking views along the way.
