Una Davies High Traveler Award
Una Davies was president of the Club in 1956-57, and she was an avid backpacker. This award was named to honor Una after her death on a backpack above Packwood Glacier in Washington. The award goes to the member who has the most new miles on the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington and Oregon. No duplicate miles may be counted. Thirty miles are minimum to start the award. A card is issued for the first 30 miles, and for each succeeding 20 miles. The annual award may be sought through an application form provided by the backpack committee. The High Traveler plaque is displayed at Tyee, and an individual plaque is presented to the winner.
Members are responsible for reporting their miles to the club each year by March 1. Policies and the application form are available on the forms page.
