Vistoso Hiking Club
Walt Hoffman, RIP
Walt Hoffman, who passed away on July 10, 2008, contributed much to
our Hiking Club. He was a long-term member and Guide. He helped
organize Hiking Trips, including one to the Grand Canyon in March 2006.
His work included service as the club's Vice President, and membership in
the Board of Directors. He was well on his way to earning the 4,500-mile
patch, when an illness interrupted his progress.
Here is his biography, and some photos contributed by club members.
