JUNIPER RIDGE - Key Persons
"I love the outdoors. It is really about nature for me, being out there, and that's what I am doing, I'm taking those places and putting them in bottles."
Hall Newbegin was an off-trail, open-hearted wanderer. He believed you could awaken your wild self no matter where you happened to be. And he felt that if you couldn't be in the woods, you needed something that brought the forest to you. He loved devoting his body and heart to the earth, and putting his nose in the dirt of the forgotten backcountry corners of the West.
In 1967, Hall was born to a longstanding Portland family and he spent his young life in the shadow of Mt. Hood forging a lifelong friendship with nature-fishing and camping around The Mountain. After his graduation from Vassar, where he earned a degree in philosophy, Hall's deep love of nature called him back to the West Coast.
