A few short and steep climbs brought me into the heart of the rocky backcountry of the East Pioneers.
We had set up camp on the shores of the lake at around 9,000 feet, which is the perfect elevation for bitterly cold nights, warm sleeping bags, and some wild dreams.
I want to lead people into new experiences, help them fall in love with this world, and grow as a result.
