Meet Our Parks | Your Adventure's newest Adventurer, Emily Guyer. A Mountaineers member since 2014 and hike leader extraordinaire, Emily has big challenge goals ahead to raise funds for The Mountaineers Youth Programs.
HER ADVENTURE
Emily has an ambitious goal to through-hike the John Muir Trail and raise $2,500 for The Mountaineers Youth Programs.
WHY IT MATTERS
National Parks and conserved lands have always been important to Emily starting from a young age. "I have acute memories of growing-up road tripping to National Parks and conserved lands and participating in environmental education at a young age." She said. "I believe I was a very lucky kid and that those experiences shaped my passions for nature, science and engineering, conservation, outdoor leadership and stewardship. Those passions also contribute to the refuge I find in nature when adult life throws you curve balls. Enjoying nature is a key to happiness, well being, and a career in science or engineering. This challenge is deeply personal and important to me. Let's get kids outdoors!!'
We couldn't agree with Emily more.
