Exploring the World's Last Great Temperate Rainforests.

Overlooking Power Creek - SE Alaska's Coastal Chugach Range, July 2006

Welcome to Rainforest Treks. This site briefly documents my greatest personal passion...
exploring (first-hand) some of the last great "wet" places on earth. Unsatisfied with guidebooks or second-hand stories, I experience such places with my own legs & senses, often with no trails to guide the way. Speed is not my aim. I choose to take my time, probing deeply into 
the tapestry of North America's greatest remaining forests, and (in some way) help preserve a land I've grown to deeply know and love. I hope to never stop. Take a look inside, and let me show you why...
I recently returned from perhaps my most successful journey yet. After a beautiful week crossing Sitka Sound to climb Mt. Edgecumbe with my fiancée, I spent 18 days finishing my solo trek across Baranof
Island from Sitka to Port Alexander... a first in many ways! You can read a bit about it in the Juneau Empire or see more detailed reports, photos and clips on the Baranof Island 2011 page (more content coming soon as I can get around to it).
