Outdoor Wilderness Recreation

I thoroughly enjoy being outside and surrounding myself with activities such as hiking, rafting, camping, and sometimes even wilderness survival. I have spent plenty of time around different wildlife in major areas such as Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Bridger-Teton National Forest.
