This group is designed for the west coast of North America but it is for anyone who likes the mountains. Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California host some of the most spectacular peaks in the U.S. Visit Wikipedia for info on all of the mountains included in the "Pacific Coast Ranges". The forum provides a way to coordinate hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, rock climbing, trekking and mountaineering trips with fellow west coasters. The forum also provides a venue for anyone wanting specific info on the "Pacific Coast Ranges" or anything mountain. Let’s plan some great adventures together! Keep hiking, keep trekking, keep biking and keep climbing. "Testing one’s limits may create a risk factor but it is the only way to find out what you are truly capable of." m.c. reinhardt
