Through my favorite mode of exploration, I am putting all of my backcountry skills and joy into an epic solo odyssey called My Sky Island Traverse. This will be the biggest adventure I’ve had to date and what’s most exciting about it is that I’ve put my own route together and will be able to take all the time I need to do something important: documenting the vast wildlife biodiversity of each Sky Island I’m traversing in order to put together a conservation piece on why these important mountain ranges must be preserved and protected.
