Why Walking Mountains?
A backpacking trip through Yellowstone and the Tetons as a young man in the early 1980s first awakened me to the overpowering rhythms of nature and our deep connections to them. The experience changed my life, as these mountains have changed so many lives. Walking Mountains’ mission is to change lives, particularly those of our young, through the direct experience and intimate knowledge of nature. By deepening individual lives, a rippling effect occurs that heals and enhances our communities, our earth and our future. What better mission could there be!
