What national park do you dream of visiting?

Pretty dead set on glacier being our next big adventure. Yellowstone, badlands, grand Teton, arches. All have their own unique character and excitement to offer. Would love to fish some of the wild mountain streams, cook fresh fish over a fire as the sun set over the mountains. Lauren has never been west of Chicago so this would be epic for her as well. Imagine the look on her face as the Rockies come into view.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

Spending 2 weeks living in the Grand Canyon. I remember one morning I counted 18 jetliners visible within the canyon walls. The idea of THAT MANY people 30,000ft up just going about life while I was lucky enough to be chillin in a place most people never see was hard to believe. It was at that moment I realized how small I am, how big the world is, and how much there is to see. It lit a fire that hasn’t gone out. I spend every minute I can out in nature having an adventure.

What would you do with $10,000?

Put it toward expenses for my daughter who will be born in December. Charlotte Emerson incoming 12/06/2024
