What national park do you dream of visiting?

I dream of visiting the Denali National Park and Preserve. Alaska is one of the few states I have yet to visit and explore.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

My favorite adventure experience was thru hiking the Continental divide trail. The whole trail was an amazing adventure. Glacier national Park was beauty like I had never seen before. The rolling hills of Idaho left me in awe. The Wind River range in Wyoming was like something out of "Land before time" and glissading down a glacier was crossed off of my bucket list. High peaks in Colorado took my breath away, bother literally and figuratively. New Mexico's diversity did not disappoint.

What would you do with $10,000?

If I won the $10,000 I would use it to take a road trip from Baja California up the West Coast and end at Denali National Park and Preserve. To finally pursue my dream of climbing Denali and exploring every adventure Alaska has to offer.
