Mike King
Mike grew up backpacking and climbing in the Southern Appalachian mountains. After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and working with at-risk youth he found his way into the larger mountains. Guiding at RMI since 2012 allows Mike to teach and travel in amazing mountain landscapes. When not guiding, Mike enjoys floating rivers, climbing and skiing with his wife in the Pacific Northwest.
