Welcome to the Hiking extension of my Wilderness Wanderings Blog.
This is an easy to search collection of Trip Reports from my various wanderings and adventures.
If you click to view Trip Reports from this page it will link you back over to my Wilderness Wanderings Blog. While I have been blessed to visit all 50 states already it is a long-term goal to now have a hike or trail run in all 50 states. I'm tracking my progress on this blog via the map and tagging each state as I go. Through the "CO Peaks Table" link on the right I also have a useful page for viewing basic info on the Colorado 14ers and 13ers and my wanderings there.
