“Whenever I’m on a trail, I think about the people that have been there before me. I realize how fragile our environment actually is and how important it is to take care of these special places for future generations navigating these paths after me.”

Favorite Place
My favorite place is the desert southwest region of the United States. It could be on a trail near Sedona, exploring the shorelines of Lake Powell, walking amongst the hoodoos of Bryce National Park or backpacking through the wilderness of the Grand Canyon – it really doesn’t matter to me where I am, they are all special to me. As naturalist John Muir once said, “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” The time I spend in our natural environment rejuvenates my soul and reminds me what a special place the Earth is!
