I’m an outdoor, adventurous, hiking mom to 5 kids. We have explored 48 states and 42 national parks in our RV since 2020.

I LOVE Glacier and would be so thrilled to take my kids back to our favorite NP. Other NP’s we would love to visit are Isle Royale (in our home state), Grand Tetons, Sequoia, Bryce Canyon, Rocky Mountain, Dry Tortugas, and the Alaskan NP’s.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?One of my favorite adventure experiences was the day my 2 older boys (ages 11, 13) and I attempted to climb Half Dome with the cables down. The hike alone is 16 miles but you only get to see the weather condition of Half Dome once you get to the base of it at the 8 mile mark. The hike alone is majestic and memorable. Summiting the dome would have been an added bonus. Unfortunately the dome had too much ice on the rock and cables to make the summit safely. We plan to travel back to Yosemite soon!
What would you do with $10,000?I would love to be able to continue to grow my boys’ love for outdoor adventure! With this money I will be able to fund my boys’ (and my own) dream of getting scuba certified, participate in mountain climbing and summiting groups, and take them on backpacking/back country camping trips. They have an incredible zest for adventure, extreme sports and the wilderness and to me there is no better way to spend this money but helping the next generation with outdoor education and enthusiasm!
