Rick dreams of hiking all the great treks of the world, posting his wishlist on » besthike.com

Many major hikes he documented on his original website » i-needtoknow.com/hiking. These include links to the best photos, trip reports, guidebooks & local information for each tramp. Each is the best website available on each specific hike.

A non-walker in his youth, Rick found religion on the West Coast Trail in 1999. This is still his favourite hiking adventure.
