In all of our explorations across the country - spanning 37 states and dozens of national parks - the Rocky Mountains and Southwest have eluded my family of adventurers. This opportunity would open new doors for us to take in some of the giants of America's park system, including Rocky Mountain, Arches, Zion, Grand Canyon and beyond. As much as we can stuff into a summer of travel!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My favorite adventure experiences are not a particular place or activity, but rather the people and the moments shared out on the road. Top of the list are days spent hiking and watching our two daughter grow before our eyes - finding themselves and their confidence in the mountains and on the trail. Work travel that takes me to places where Trout Unlimited and partners are restoring the very landscapes we travel through inspired me to keep our work going.
What would you do with $10,000?Winning this prize, this trip and this opportunity will allow my family to spend the summer exploring, to see first-hand the public lands we care so much for and to learn how we can help protect, expand and maintain them for future generations!
