I was raised on a large Arizona ranch, that is where I grew to love the outdoors as I looked at cattle land as far as the eye could see working on the ranch. My ancestors are my inspiration when it comes to hiking, they came to Arizona after traveling by wagon train across the United States in the 1800's and helped settle Arizona. When I am on top of a mountain I think of them crossing over Arizona and the sacrifices they made for me their descendant.
