Mt Rainier: Hiking the Wonderland Trail, is an awe-inspiring, 93 mile journey around the highest mountain in Washington state. There's something here for everyone, whether you just want to enjoy the views from home or are planning a trip to Mt Rainier National Park. This is an indispensible guide to anyone interested in this exquisite area. Steve filmed using a packable but high quality camera (Canon GL2) to capture this backcountry and aerial footage. Authored with an artistic eye and an occasional humorous twist, this DVD includes lingering scenes set to original music by various artists, including Northwest musicians Jon Hamar (acoustic bass), Forrest Kinney (piano), and Dan McInerney (guitar). You can read descriptions galore and peruse maps ad infinitum but there is no substitute for experiencing the Wonderland through the eyes of the person who has hiked or run the trail annually for over 20 years!
