Exceptional Tour Leader

What a surprise to read the Travel Section on June 26 and see Harry Ellis of Adventure Outdoors on top of Jerry Hulse’s Travel Tips. I recently returned from a most wonderful backpacking trip with Ellis in Washington’s Olympic National Park.

Ellis knows his subject, the Pacific Northwest (and Alaska), and is an unusual mixture of detail man, gourmet cook and all-around fun person. Also, he is accommodating and very creative. As you mentioned, he has all kinds of wonderful trips, large and small, all of which are moderately priced and personal. He can be contacted c/o Venture Outdoors, 5354 Roby Place N.E., Bainbridge Island, Wash. 98110. Telephone (206) 842-3189.
