I have considered myself a student of wild places for over three decades. As a teen, my curiosity was simply a passion for the unspoiled, a desire to explore and learn about new places, and the personal freedom that came with it. There was also the physical challenge, testing my limits. Wild places satisfied all elements of my being -mind, body, and spirit.

It’s a chilly morning when I hop into the truck of one of the recreation staff, my tour guide for the day. She pulls away from the bunkhouse and we drive towards the mountains. I answer questions the whole way: what do you do? Where have you been? What do you want to see here? What do other National Forests do?
