Daniel’s Bio

I am a 12-year-old outdoor adventurer from Glenwood Springs, CO. I am the 2nd of four boys and have grown up playing in the mountains – skiing, climbing, mountain biking, and paddling with my family. This past summer I climbed and skied Mt. Sopris in Carbondale, CO for the 5th time. I also paddled the entire 100 miles of Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. I feel very grateful for all of these opportunities.
