What national park do you dream of visiting?

It would be incredible to see all of them someday but if we had to pick just one I think I would pick Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s has been a long time goal to tent and hike through Utah with our boys.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

Every experience outside with my kids is a memory I cherish. It doesn’t have to be grand or expensive to be a core memory for them. I love the quote “kids do not remember their best day of television”. If I had to pick my most magical adventure it would be kayaking in Moraine Lake with my boys.

What would you do with $10,000?

We are a homeschooling family that values nature and base their education around being outside. Every year we partake in the 1000 Hour Outside Challenge. If we win we would take our boys world schooling on a nation wide epic tenting adventure to see as many national parks as we could in North America.
