Few places capture the spirit of adventure and beauty like Montana, and I am excited to experience it with you! Over the years, I have led trips in Alaska, Acadia, Yosemite, and many smaller hikes on Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail (I completed the trail in 2022). With family members living in Montana, I have been lucky enough to visit Bozeman and Yellowstone numerous times, and each trip has deepened my love for the area's landscapes, wildlife, and welcoming spirit. I cannot wait to share that passion with you and help make this journey full of discovery, relaxation, and Montana charm!

I am thrilled to be co-leading this Montana adventure! A few summers back, my family and I road-tripped through several national parks, including Yellowstone, and the magic of the experience has me eager to return. I love the great outdoors—whether it’s spotting elk, moose, or even bears (from a safe distance!)—and soaking in wide-open landscapes that take your breath away. This journey will be my very first time exploring Bozeman, and I can’t wait to dive into its vibrant culture, mountain-town charm, and delicious culinary flavors!
