About the Author: Exploring the outdoors on foot and in small boats has been a big part of my life since my first camping trip when I was ten years old. I prefer "self-propelled" modes of travel such as backpacking, canoeing, and kayaking and have used these methods to explore many of the most remote and beautiful areas in North America from Key West, Florida to Denali National Park in Alaska. The Pacific Northwest and the coasts of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska has become my favorite area to explore. I have traveled solo by sea kayak for thousands of miles through the waterways that together make up the 1,300 mile (2,080 kilometer) Inside Passage. After completing my first Inside Passage kayaking trip in 2008 I published my first book on the subject, "Point to Point: Exploring the Inside Passage by Kayak". After completing the route for a second time in 2012, I published my second book, "Alone in the Passage: An Explorers Guide to Sea Kayaking the Inside Passage". Here are some of the places that I have visited. By Sea Kayak The Inside Passage from Washington to Alaska - 2007/2008 and 2012 Prince William Sound Alaska - 1987 Belize - 1991 Johnstone Strait, BC 3 trips Clayoquot Sound, BC San Juan Islands, WA Baja Mexico - Sea of Cortez and Scammons Lagoon Gulf of Mexico - Horn Island - roughly 15 trips over 10 years Lake Pontchartrain, LA - Two 24 mile open water crossings St. Vincent Island, FL - two circumnavigations Dauphin Island, AL to Gulfport, MS - along the Gulf Islands By Canoe Green River, UT - 120 miles Granite River, MN - Boundary Waters Canoe Area Rio Grande River, TX - 2 trips Chattooga River, GA - Section 3 by canoe and section 4 by raft Nantahala River, NC - many runs in canoe, kayak, and raft Ocoee River, TN - many runs in canoe and raft Buffalo River, AR - 2 trips Locust Fork River, AL - many runs in canoe, kayak, and raft Snake River, WY - 4 runs in canoe and raft Yellowstone Lake, WY - 2 trips Numerous open canoe runs of small rivers in LA, MS, FL, and AL By Raft American River, CA Salmon River, ID Backpacking and Mountaineering National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) course in Wind River Mountains, WY - 30 days 1980 Freemont Peak, WY - summit 1989 Windom Peak, CO - summit 1990 Mount Rainer, WA - summit 1991 The Na Pa Li Coast trail on Kauai, Hawaii 1984 Hundreds of mile backpacking in GA, TN, UT, AZ, WY, CO, WA, and AK
