The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.
About
I have lived in or on the edge of Yellowstone National Park since '95, with forays away to teach kids downhill skiing and to work as a naturalist on a whale watching/wildlife tour boat in Alaska. I have guided all ages and backgrounds on hikes, roadside wildlife watching, geyser gazing, skiing and more. I am a mother to a bright, curious, intelligent daughter. I own a small, science-based ecological guiding company, Walking Shadow Ecology Tours of Yellowstone, LLC (https://www.yellowstone.education/) based on the edge of the park. I find my sanity, passion and reverence for life by playing and guiding in this wild landscape and being constantly reminded that we are on a moving, breathing planet!
Hobbies & Interests
Cross country skiing, learning about earth processes, camping, travel, photography, writing, sitting on mountain tops, striving to be a great mother and a better human.
Fun Fact
I spent seven winters driving a 1969 Bombardier snow coach through remote Yellowstone winters--still my favorite job!
