What national park do you dream of visiting?

I'd love to visit North Cascades for the first time or take Thomas and Pelli to Acadia (that's one I worked at in 2019!)

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

My solo backpacking trip to 2 of yosemite's high sierra camps (vogelsang and Merced lake) was magical. Two nights, 3 days, about 30 miles long. Time didn't exist.

What would you do with $10,000?

My husband, the dog, and I would try to cross more parks off our list! We just got married 8/14/24 and part of our wedding theme was all the national parks we visited together so far! I know it's rough to find dog friendly activities in our national parks, but in the words of the great, late Dean Potter: "never leave the dog behind."
