2018-2019 Adventure Speakers

 

May 1, 2019.  Philip Kramer: Photographer, Writer, Long-Distance Hiker.

Philip Kramer is a photographer and writer living on Orcas Island.  He's traveled to six of the seven continents ( Antarctica is the one that got away) and in 2013 he thru-hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail ( Yes, he is a little crazy).  And oh, by the way, he and Olympia Mountaineer Michael Walther hiked the first few hundred miles together!  Philip is passionate about wild places and human-powered travel; nothing makes him happier than a slow place in a beautiful place.  He hopes his work inspires appreciation and respect for the diversity of this planet while encouraging the dreams and imaginations of future adventures.  Philip is the author and photographer of Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California.
