What national park do you dream of visiting?

I dream of showing my daughter glaciers while I still can. Glacier NP and Glacier Bay, but i know she'll love Acadia, Death Valley during a super bloom, and the awe of Zion, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. I also have many of my own rougher plans for mountain climbs and backcountry hikes like Isle Royale ridge trail, more of the AT, and the Lowest to Highest.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

To name a few: Glacier NP was breathtaking, Death Valley during the super bloom was serene, Acadia was a beauty, Mammoth Caves were fascinating. I have also loved exploring National Forests, Lakeshores, and of course Trails like the Appalachian and the Ice Age Trails.

What would you do with $10,000?

I want to arrange the money in a trust that can renew itself while making certain my daughter can always have funds available to explore the outdoors, even after I'm gone.
