WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT THIS VIEW & WHY?

Waking up early to catch the sunrise as the alpenglow illuminates the mountains is an experience I always find peaceful.

WHICH VIEWS ARE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST & WHY?

Dolomites in Italy, Denali in Alaska and waterfalls in Iceland are definitely at the top of our list.  

WHAT’S ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU HAVE FOR RVERS?

I have learned to take things slow. I used to rush from point A to point B, but if you don’t take the time to look around, you miss a lot in between. Make an unexpected stop along the way.

WHO DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SHARE THIS VIEW WITH & WHY?

I wish I could share this view with my parents as they are, in part, responsible for my love of nature.
