​Please note new articles are added to the top of each section​.

​In addition to the hikes listed here and adventures that I have documented in the Reviews section, my friends and I have hiked all over the area. These pictures were taken over a period of 20 years. We originally used the first digital camera on the market, the Casio QA-10 320x240. We later switched to a Sony DSC-D700 high resolution camera in a 640x480 format. Currently we are using a Nikon D3400 24 megapixel camera. All the pictures here we taken by myself or friends and used with permission. The original photographers retain all copyrights.  Some of the original Barefoot Traveler articles have been lost but the pictures remain. As I recover this lost information, I will post it here. Hope you enjoy them.
