Andrew loves nature, animals and the backcountry, and he's hiked 100 miles of the AT and summited over 30 mountains... and he's only 8!

What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreAnimals. Andrew is always thrilled to see creatures in the wild, whether it's frogs and caterpillars or grizzly bears and moose.
Wolves. He fell in love with them when we were in Wyoming, at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone. He loves how similar they are to dogs, but 'cooler'
Camping. He's a good little hiker, too - he's backpacked over 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail with me, completed the Highline in Glacier National Park, and aced the fiery furnace in Arches National Park.
