Meet Peter

Hi there. Maybe it’s time for us all to get out and have a bit more fun and adventure in our lives. That's what I'm doing now.
I'm finding time to get away from the work and the grind of daily life to visit National Parks and to hike up highpoints. Specifically, I intend to visit and hike ALL of the U.S. National Parks as well as at least one Canadian National Park in each of the 13 provinces and territories. And, to boot, I plan to hike up the U.S. state highpoints. If that piques your interest, please follow along with me!

Stories from my travel companions…

I was fortunate to accompany Peter to his first “Parks and Peaks” National Park visit, Dry Tortugas, and then Key West. The days were filled with activity and fun and very well organized. Peter’s boundless energy got me to see more interesting sites in two days — who knew there was a Butterfly Conservatory!

RMNP was such a blast!  Peter’s planning and recommendations on the best hikes in the park were spot-on! Peter’s quest to hit the high point of every state, in this case, Mt Elbert, was exhausting, but beautiful.  Peter is enthusiastic, entertaining, inspiring – can’t wait to do more parks and peaks!

Our Rocky Mountain National Park hiking itinerary covered waterfalls, lakes, wildlife sightings, forested trails, and above-treeline hiking with spectacular vistas! Mt. Elbert was resplendent! Parks & Peaks with Peter answers all the questions that National Parks Visitors want to know, including the best activities, how to get around, and where to get a good meal at the Parks! Fantastic trip!
