CELEBRATE THE OUTDOORS
40 years outdoors experience, extensive info on Mt. Rainier’s Wonderland Trail, original music, equipment reviews, off trail videos, other peaks in Mt. Rainier NP
It was a good year for me, with continued excellent health and some great excursions. This 3 minute video shows highlights of backcountry skiing, the Incubus 50th Reunion Gig, Olympic National Park, biking across the Pyrenees, Section 1 of the GR10, Mt. Rainier outings including 2 Wonderlands, peakbagging and the Northern Loop Trail. Add in RAMROD (Ride Around Mt. Rainier in One Day) and a late season overnight at the foot of the Tahoma Glacier to cap it off.
Another year has passed, and although I didn't get through my wish list for the year, it was filled with quality trips: Portugal, Rome, Cycling in Riccione, my 35th Wonderland, RIMROBOD, the Northern Loop Trail and a few peaks, to name a few. Once again I was lucky to be in good health with heightened fitness from consistent cycling training. Happy Holidays everyone! Caveat: no drones were used in this footage.
Been a busy year at Willis Wall. Relocating back to the Pacific Northwest, basing out of the van for 5 months logging hundreds of miles and thousands of feet on foot, bike and skis. Besides my usual stomping ground at Mt. Rainier National Park, I trained at the US Air Force Academy, did the High Sierra Trail with my daughter to Mt Whitney, managed a week of cycling in Italy, turned in one of my best Wonderland Trail hikes and hit some great places like Olympic National Park, Colorado National Monument, Dinosaur National Monument, Craters of the Moon National Monument, White Sands National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Joshua Tree National Park and Saguaro National Park. Family matters precluded the time to write original music this year so I recycled some Christmas tunes from previous projects. I wish viewers good health and happiness for the coming year!
