Meet Haley Jade
My name is Haley Jade. I am a backpacker, mountaineer, metalsmith, and writer currently based in the Northern Cascades.
I am planning to use this space to share (hopefully) useful beta and (hopefully) useful musings from my time spent in the backcountry.
Some reports will be from trips in the Cascades and others will be scattered from places where I’ve been lucky enough to pitch my tent – Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Utah, and more. And many many more will be from the Rocky Mountains of my home and heart state, Montana.
Thanks for being here, and maybe I’ll see you out there. Yeehaw!

I grow hard to see then vanish entirely
On the peaks it is summer
