    About this ebook

    This collection of a thousand haiku entitled To the Mountains Peak is an exploration of physical nature and human nature as it unfolds throughout the four seasons in the Pacific Northwest. The haiku are an attempt to shape and preserve experiences tied to the geography, geology, flora, and fauna found between Mount Baker and Mount Rainer, the Cascade Mountains and the Olympic Peninsula.
