Karin
Because of early influences in life, hiking here in the Pacific Northwest with my family early early on, mud became second nature. My addiction to the mountains I believe is a life long problem, always looking for more, wanting to be able to go anywhere I want to go. I'm not an extremist, but the high country is definitely where it's at. I've lead many groups into these mountains via with a pack or on the end of a rope. Climbing and backpacking from these mountains and into the depths of hell (Grand Canyon), are the solitude and peace that one comes to cherish within the soul, plus it's a killer legal addiction! Gone Alpine is my small contribution to what I feel are some of the most incredible places on earth. If you want to know a bit more about what I've done click on my photo.
Ken
For Ken, peace and contentment is found in the depths of the Grand Canyon but... Ken is very well acquainted with the Oregonian hills for which I am becoming more accustomed too. He's been trekking around the Oregon Cascades over the last several years. Mount Adams, the Sisters and Jefferson are but a start of where he has been. Ken likes killing his feet on endurance riding and events like the Hood to Coast as well as others. Time will tell as to how much trouble we will get ourselves into together. If you want to know more about Ken click on his photo.
Tonya
Tonya is a real inspiration to those who want to do something with their life but have a little weight to loose first. Before she started hiking mountains, running races and swimming triathlons she had to set a few goals to accomplish. Now she's tackled quite a few things as well as boosted her self esteem to new heights. To read her inspiring story click the photo.
Aaronn
Aaronn always has something new he's testing... mountain biking, climbing, backpacking, or water sports. He's your young adventurous guy that is set to experience life the best way possible... outside. "Alaska is were my love for the outdoors started. I was 3 and my mom laid me down for a nap. I fell a sleep, so my mom left the room, well at least she thought I fell asleep. But what I was doing was plotting how I could get outside when she left..." Aaronn is heading back up to Alaska here in July, lets see what footage he has to share when he gets back! To check out some of his krazy trips click the photo.
Lou
Lou is just Lou. She's pretty much game for anything once, then will do it again, and again. This is one tough chick, one you'd think wouldn't be up for anything she does or has done. Come and check where she's been... Triathlons, Marathons and Backpacking seem to be her game. If you want to know more about Lou click on her photo.
Summer
Not just a time of year but a chick that knows her stuff. Summer is our resident Personal Trainer. We finally dragged her out of the gym and got her on a real mountain, oops instant Addict!!! However I wouldn't expect anything less. She has also decided that she's tired of making us all look good and going to start getting out there with us and do more stuff. Look for her début in the many fun filled challenges we throw at her. The great thing is that she has no idea what we have planned... and she loves every minute of it.
