I like being near the top of a mountain. One can't get lost here.

I'm a Texan. Some of me is still nestled up there in the Catskill Mountains: the summers I spent with my grandfather on the farm and the guys I played basketball with in high school. But then that was it.

I grew up on the edge of a national park in Canada - timberwolves, creeks, snow drifts.

I died on that mountain, too. I left a part of myself up there.

I live in a beautiful part of the world - western New Hampshire along the Baker River - and my family and I spend a lot of time outdoors.

I live here in Vermont, in a village of barely a thousand people halfway up the state's third highest mountain.

Here I am at the end of the road and at the top of the heap.

I love the mountains, the light. I'm a real light junkie.

I'm a nature girl. I grew up in Colorado and was always outside. I still am, even when I'm in the city.

I climb mountains.
