Exploring is in my soul! I enjoy hiking, cycling, climbing, kayaking, and swimming. The mountains are my favorite but also enjoy canyons.
We would like to thank you for supporting Rob Hersom in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid the National Park Foundation in their mission to protect, preserve, and connect people everywhere to the wonder of parks.
My top picks would be Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and the Mighty 5 in Utah.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?I would have to list 3. First was summer of 2004 working as a backpacking guide in CO. One weekend some fellow guides and myself backpacked the Four Pass Loop around Maroon Bells. Second was taking my wife on her first 14er, Mount Massive, in 2022. And third is taking my son on his first backpacking trip when he was 10 to Buffalo National River in Arkansas. All of these trips hold a special place for me for the beauty, memories, and challenge.
What would you do with $10,000?This money would go toward more adventures with my family. My wife of 17 years, my 12 year old son, and my 8 year old daughter love to take trips to adventures places. We just returned from a CO trip that included kayaking and downhill mountain biking. We love to camp, hike, and explore new places.
