Several years I ago I hiked in the White Mountains with New
England Hiking Holidays. In my article “Peak Experience” I detail what an
exquisite experience it was to hike in the buttery glow of the autumn sun
beneath a canopy of tangelo leaves. Graham, our lead trip guide, told me that
the Columbia River Gorge hike was his favorite offering of NEHH because of the
dramatic cluster of waterfalls, scent of pine-sheathed mountains, and meadows
choked with wildflowers. This image never left me, so I am thrilled to be
joining NEHH once
again for their outing in Oregon. Clare Grabher and her
husband Kurt, owners and operators of NEHH, make it possible for the average
outdoor enthusiastic to experience the wonders of nature by day and the
comforts of posh inns offering fine cuisine by night. They run hiking tours in
North America, Hawai’i, Italy, the Swiss Alps, and England, as well as historic
walks in Spain. I wanted to know more about what goes into creating these
top-tier trips around the globe, so I asked Clare a few questions.
