I have lived in the Carson Valley for the past 15 years and have hiked hundreds of miles of trails in the Sierra Nevada. Traveling as far North as Lassen Volcanic National Park and as far South as Kernville, California in the Southern Sierra
As a Volunteer with Desolation Wilderness Ranger, I have explored the boundaries of Desolation Wilderness and much of the Lake Tahoe basin region. From my upbringing in the Cascade mountains as a child, however, I love to travel on day and multiple-day trips. So exploring the Sierra came naturally. I love to hike and backpack in Yosemite National Park each summer and typically visit the park 5-6 times a year for new adventures. Alpine County, Desolation Wilderness and Ebbett’s Pass are my normal stomping grounds.
Mostly, I love to help and share with others. sharing my experiences and local expertise with those who are seeking adventure or new places to explore is what it is all about. I sincerely hope that what we share here at Sierra Rec magazine helps you enjoy more of life in the Sierra.
