CRAIG ROMANO
Growing up in rural New Hampshire I fell in love with the natural world. A former Boy Scout, backcountry ranger in NH’s White Mountain National Forest, and a ski bum in Vermont, the outdoors is my calling! I have traveled extensively, from Alaska to Argentina, Sicily to South Korea, seeking wild and spectacular landscapes. I rank Washington State, my home since 1989, among the most beautiful places on the planet and I have thoroughly hiked it, over 19,000 miles worth from Cape Flattery in the NW to Puffer Butte in the SE; Cape Disappointment in the SW to the Salmo-Priest Wilderness in the NE.

“Like classic rock, classic literature and classic film, a classic hike should be a superb representation – in this case of trails, capturing the full essence of our outdoors. It should be timeless, not replicated anywhere, and the experience should remain indelibly etched in your mind. Washington is a beautiful state with big mountains, big rivers, big lakes, a big coastline, big trees, big animals, and big tracts of public lands traversed by thousands of miles of trails.”
