I just relocated to the Land of Enchantment from the Land of 10,000 Lakes. While I miss the North Shore of Lake Superior I am excited to be in the mountains and canyons of the West. Sure, I will miss the lake life of the Midwest, but I think I will manage. When I am not working I try hike where ever I can. I love the idea that every trail connects and as someone who does a lot of solo hiking I am fortunate enough to have met some amazing people and lifelong friends out on the trails.

Upcoming Adventures: Chaco Canyon; Sandia Mountains; New Mexico's Hot Springs

All Time Favorite Hikes: South Kaibab to Bright Angel (Grand Canyon NP); Upper Yosemite Falls; South Rim Loop (Big Bend National Park); Highline Trail (Glacier National Park)
