I have always loved being outside. I love the sun, the water, the trees, the wind, the rain. (The cold not so much) When I grew up we were always outside. We had a small lake, woods with trails and our bikes! I loved it all!

As I got older and realized hiking was actually a thing, I developed a passion for it. My husband and I have hiked  many parts of the West and throughout many Pennsylvania and National Parks. We have explored Yosemite, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Mount Rainer, Olympic, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Acadia, Shenandoah, Smokey Mountains and the Grand Canyon. We backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon twice and over the last few years I began section hiking the Appalachian Trail.  I also have a passion for being on the water. I have rafted down the Colorado River.  I have kayaked in Presque Isle State Park, Lake Erie and Pine Barrens and I have been on the Susquehanna River, Delaware River and numerous lakes around my home. Being outside makes my heart happy. I like to believe that I will “enjoy the journey”. Not just the trail, but in life. I like to think that I find the positive side in things, the good in people, and the joy in it all.
