Amy has explored the 4 Corners backcountry for over 30 years, in addition as a volunteer backcountry ranger at Canyonlands National Park in 1991 and at Mesa Verde National Park in 2014. Recently she collaborated with the San Juan Mountains Association for their “Wild for the Weminuche” wilderness campaign.
