There are different types of people who like to hike or backpack in the backcountry.
Those who love the long treks – hundreds of miles into some remote wilderness with nothing but rations for seven days or more. Those who love the lakes. Finding some secluded lake; taking a few days by its shores to contemplate life. Those that like high peaks – the ‘peak baggers’ as they are sometimes known. I would fall into this category. Although my goal when I’m on a trek is not always to summit. I have found the challenges of high peaks very fulfilling. I’ve captured some of the more notable ones.
