I paddled 401 different bodies of water in one year (2020). This year, I backpacked Havasupai. I’m ready for my next adventure!

I dream of visiting Banff National Park. I also dream of Glacier Bay National Park & Denali!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?One of my favorite adventure experiences was paddling Bear Glacier in Alaska. A friend and I took a water taxi with a kayak & a paddleboard. My main goal was to paddleboard with icebergs. I got pummeled by three foot waves to start. We portaged 12 times. We saw an orca on the taxi out, saw a bear in the distance that crossed the river in front of us, lots of eagles and had leopard seals pop up around my board before paddling through the four foot waves to get back to the water taxi an hour late.
What would you do with $10,000?I would plan more adventures. The memories are priceless.
