作者介紹

作者介紹 Adrienne Schaefer's love of nature and outdoor pursuits began at a young age, building forts and camping out with her family in the foothills of Washington's North Cascades. As she got older, her love turned into a lifestyle, and she decided to pursue a career in the outdoor industry. A bachelor's degree in outdoor recreation led her to a variety of outdoor-based jobs, including working for the National Park Service and U.S Forest Service as a trail crew member, wildland firefighter, and a climbing ranger on Mt. Rainier. She was also a professional ski patroller for six years and now helps instruct women's backcountry ski clinics in the North Cascades. Adrienne currently lives in the quiet community of Winthrop, on the east slopes of the North Cascades. When not working, she enjoys trail running, gardening, and sharing her love for the outdoors with her husband and two young boys.
