My name is Nicolette Jones
I love hiking, backpacking, skiing, cycling, and dipping my paddle into whitewater. I believe that finding joy through adventure in the outdoors is a more sustainable pursuit of happiness, and helps me grow as an individual and with my community. I am focused on human powered adventures in this blog because they have provided some of the most meaningful interactions I have ever had. Day to day, these experiences make me a better educator, guide, interpreter, steward and friend. By chronicling these experiences I hope to develop a deeper understanding of this growth and share some of my knowledge with those wishing to start an adventure.
For the past several years, I have spent my working time in the Upper Arkansas river valley in Colorado as a ski instructor and raft guide. While my physical home has been somewhat transient for these years, I have found a great sense of belonging here and look forward to spending more time exploring and working in this area.
Thanks for reading and sharing in the adventure!
