My name is Franziska Weinheimer, I originate from Germany, but have lived in Oregon for over 20 years. I am an avid outdoors woman with a great love for hiking, backpacking and photography. Over the past 3 years, I really discovered how amazing and diverse the state of Oregon truly is, and I want to share my trail discoveries with everyone else. It brings me great joy to take new people out and show them the magnificent beauty of Oregon!

This website is a solo venture and I do it for the pure joy of sharing these hikes with others. I do not get paid to do this, nor have I ever made a profit from any sales that come from the website, it all just goes back into the business. I do all of the web-design, writing, photos, map design and YouTube videos on my own. Because I do not get paid to do this, I also have a full-time job with a local hotel management company where I am part of their digital marketing team. I live on the outskirts of Eugene, Oregon with my husband of 6 years, our 5 chickens and our 4 cats.

CONTRIBUTING AUTHOR

My name is Daniel Fent, I am an avid adventurer/photographer who hikes and snowshoes all year long. Being born and raised right here in Oregon, I have been blessed to be able to explore this state from a very young age. I began backpacking about twelve years ago and today I’m more addicted than ever, but no matter how much area I explore there’s always more! My biggest joy, however, is sharing my knowledge and experiences with others!
