Mountains Along Our Path

Mountains Along Our Path

by Cleo Simon, Betsy Campbell, Nancy Humphrey, Nancy Fetzer, and Laurie Chandley

Adventure along with a group of friends on their twenty-five plus years of climbing mountains while exploring national parks, state parks, and mountain ranges in the United States and Canada. They have climbed the second and third highest mountains in the U.S., been involved in a perplexing plane ticket, experienced loss, coined a new word, and saw an angel among so many other adventures.

Intriguing things happen when you’re “out there” with the Happy Hikers. Enjoy a few armchair journeys with them in their book. Maybe one day, if you go hiking, you’ll meet them “on the trail!

About one of the
co-Authors

Four of us friends got together in 1992 and we took a trip to New England. We toured historic Boston and hiked through the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire. It was an invigorating and fun way to see the area and we all agreed we’d like to do more hiking.  Every year we chose a new destination and each trip consisted of at least four to five of us women. We soon dubbed ourselves the “Happy Hikers.” Eventually, we decided to tell our story and in 2020, we published this book with each one of us telling our tale. Hiking is wonderful! Hope to see you on the trail!
