Growing Up Backpacking: My Story of Raising Daughters

C.R. Galluzzo tells his story of raising daughters against the backdrop of his family's annual backpacking adventures. Together with a rotating, odd-lot collection of friends and acquaintances, each succeeding expedition weaves the chronicle of the hike to the tale of his daughters as they grow from childhood through blossoming adolescence to young adulthood. With wit and humor he tells the story of growing up and being a parent.

C. R. Galluzzo and his wife Dot are both native Oregonians and have long taken advantage of the natural beauty and outdoor recreation abundant in the region. Wilderness backpacking is one of their recreational activities. This is his third book.
