Galen Baker

Hello. My name is Galen and I live near Madison. WI. On April 4, 2022, I will be thru-hiking the AT. I'm a 68 years old retired Doctor of Chiropractic. My hobbies include bicycling, hiking and camping. I've done several day hikes of the AT, Mt Rainer, Mt Hood and several areas in the Rockies.
