Don J. Scarmuzzi

I grew up in northeastern Ohio, graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in N.Y, and have lived in nine states with favorites being Colorado, Alaska, Washington and Oregon! I wrote two popular underground guides for Southwest Colorado (Telluride Trails/Revised), Day Hikes in the Columbia River Gorge, Day Hikes in the Pacific Northwest and Day Hikes in Washington State to finish that trilogy. I now live in Bellingham, Washington where you can find me exploring the San Juans, Mt Baker, deeper into North Cascades and Canada! Follow me on Insta@hikingwhisperersanjuandon
