As newlyweds they developed a mutual love of nature photography and have since combined this passion with international travel and a variety of outdoor activities. From trekking in Nepal to safari in Africa, from backpacking in Patagonia to canoeing in the Boundary Waters, the camera has served as a constant reminder to pause and savor the subtle beauty of nature. Alison and Matt began their backpacking lives in Chile with a thru-hike of the \"W\" in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. Since then, their backpacking and trekking adventures have included: Mount Fitz Roy in Argentina, the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, the summits of Meru and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, the Four-Pass Loop in Colorado, the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland, the Himalayas in northern India, the Cordillera Range in Peru, Borneo, and Guatemala, and the Wonderland Trail in Washington, which remains one of their favorite trekking experiences to date. While not on the road, Matt and Alison reside in Chicago, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 08, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51796397064480,"sku":"9781943126033","price":21.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d246092d53ce882ffd4d371ec066aaa9.webp?v=1780756620","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/plan-go-wonderland-trail-all-you-need-to-know-to-complete-the-classic-circuit-of-mount-rainier-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
