Acknowledgements

It took many hands to build the Section’s knowledge base and a web site to share it. We would like to acknowledge the people who have made this possible:

First, to Karen Leverich, who spent many thousands of hours over decades to build and maintain the original site since the early days of the internet, and who created most of its content, including over a thousand trip reports; and to her and Wolf Leverich for hosting it free of charge. 

Second, to the many leaders over the past 80 years who have created and documented hiking routes; you can see their contributions here.

For development of the new web site we would like to thank:

Copy writing and editing: Ron Campbell, Jim Hagar

Photos: Sunny Yi, Kathy Wing, Sharon Moore, Tao Zhang, Steve Russell and Valerie Norton

Maps: Jim Hagar, Michael Salwasser, Ron Campbell

Web development: Justin Delp at Digital Engage

Thanks as well to the HPS members past and present whose financial contributions have made this possible. – The 2026 HPS Management Committee
