My favorite activity is hiking and since I live in the Smoky Mountains, I have the opportunity to live my dream weekly!

I dream of visiting all sixty-three national parks in the United States, but next on my list is “Glacier National Park” in Montana. It is the fifth largest national park in the Rocky Mountain wilderness and has more than seven hundred miles of hiking trails. White water rafting, seeing glaciers, driving the “Sun Road”, catching a glimpse of mountain goats and grizzly bears and hiking to “Hidden Lake” would be the “ULTIMATE DREAM”.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?My best adventure was in 1976, when my family took a 6-week trip across the United States in our motorhome. Since then, I have been hooked on traveling. We experienced so many wonderful things that summer from President Ford’s speech in Gettysburg to snorkeling in the Keys to my favorite adventure, riding a mule in the “Grand Canyon.” It was SPECTACULAR and a bit nerve wracking.
What would you do with $10,000?If I won 10,000 dollars, I would fulfill my dream of hiking the “Appalachian Trail”, the longest pure hiking trail in the world, from Maine to Georgia. What inspires me to take on this challenge is that I would allow myself to be challenged in unpredictable ways. I want to create a better version of myself and truly be part of this great hiking community. I love seeing stories of hikers conquering the AT and for me this would be the ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.
