About Summit Steve
My name is Steve (surprise!). Hiking is part of my identity and I've explored many trails while living in Hawaii, New Hampshire, and now Colorado. This detailed blog is a mix of my photography and personal thoughts, created to help others learn from my adventures (and mishaps) and feel less anxious about exploring. Read more about me and my mission.
