While he hasn't solved the problems of biting gnats, soggy boots and aching knees, Chef Glenn has helped an enthusiastic following of adventurers enjoy great meals on the trail.
He publishes the website BackpackingChef.com and the monthly newsletter, Trail Bytes.Chef Glenn lives in the United States and Switzerland with his wife, Dominique. They share a passion for cooking healthy food and exploring the natural beauty of both countries by foot, canoe and bicycle.
