Raylan had a hard time choosing a favorite activity. He grew up near Yosemite and now lives near Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP, and has spent time walking and taking short hikes to waterfalls, climbing on rocks and boulders, playing tag and sports with friends, and enjoying to world around him. He loves to run and ride his scooter. He also loves to swim and play in the water.
