Welcome to Idaho Alpine Zone
Think of this as a digital scrapbook of my time in the Idaho backcountry. I originally built it to share photos and trip reports with friends and family, so the descriptions are more about the experience than a technical guide. That said, I love talking about mountains. If you're eyeing an area I've visited and want the "real" beta, like route conditions, gear advice, or just how much the bushwhacking sucked, don't hesitate to reach out.

Note: Much of the look and feel here was inspired by other hiking sites I enjoy. You can find links to those resources on the links page under Other Stuff for examples of some excellent sites.

About Dave
I'm a happily married father of two, and have been blessed to have spent most of my life exploring the trails of Idaho. Lately I've been spending much of my time scrambling up mountains. I really enjoy bagging peaks, and it's become a year-round hobby for me. Winter snowshoeing, tackling snow-climbs in the spring, and hiking and scrambling during the fair-weather months. I love mountaintops. The views are great, and there's something very rewarding about setting a summit goal and reaching it.
