“You’re going up all by yourselves?”- an old white dude about a mile into the trail up Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker). So, the Kautz route on Tahoma (Mt. Rainier) happened. It’s almost alpine time! 🏔💃🏽 My first time to Tahoma (Mt.Rainier) was for a solo backpacking trip in July 2016. @theresasilveyra is starting her @amga1979 alpine skills course today! 🤩 Remember when I announced that I got an @amga1979 scholarship to take my first alpine guiding course? 👀 I am smart. I am strong. I am successful. Somos como flores del desierto. Semillas que el viento movió a tierras secas y duras. Aun así, ponemos raíces y esperamos nuestro florecer. Cuando el universo nos da lluvias de oportunidad, somos testamento de la fuerza y resistencia de generaciones pasadas. Porque somos flores del desierto.
