Local “Hike Guy” Kolby Kirk took on a big project in 2012, he wanted to hike 100 times and 700 trail miles by January 1st, 2014. Check out details of the 100 Hikes Project here.

“On each hike, I created a number using natural materials found along the trail,” explains Kirk who lives in Bend, and does most of his hiking nearby. “Trying to capture the best photo of the numbers, I ended up with thousands of photos. I used the photos to make this film.”
