Seattle Backpackers Magazine is an online source for backpacking, hiking, climbing, and camping.  They publish articles that include the core interests of outdoor adventurers and enthusiasts. It is a wonderful community of trail lovers, mountain seekers and adventurers.

I had the privilege of writing an article and providing images for Seattle Backpackers Magazine.  Here is an excerpt of the article and images.  For the entire blog post, click here:  Salmon Encounters.

This summer I hiked the Copper Ridge – Whatcom Pass Loop, in North Cascades National Park. I planned camp sites atop Copper Ridge and Tapto Lakes. But the most magical part of the trip was my encounter with salmon spawning in Indian Creek at its confluence with the Chilliwack River.
