Welcome
A Special Greeting From Bob Ward ...
Now that you've arrived at Adv Hiker, I hope you'll discover useful ideas and inspiration for your hiking adventures.
Personally, few things propel my spirit more than hiking and exploring the natural world. Much clarity has come to me over the years simply by putting my feet in nature's house.
My entire life I have written about what moves me. Finally, I have zeroed in on a topic that can carry me joyfully to the end of the trail.
Enjoy your journey.
