    “I think of two landscapes: one outside the self “I think of two landscapes: one outside the self, the other within. 
•
The external landscape is the one we see-not only the line and color of the land and its shading at different times of the day, but also its plants and animals in season, its weather, its geology… Perhaps a black-throated sparrow lands in a paloverde bush… the smell of the creosote bush….all elements of the land, and what I mean by “the landscape.”
•
The second landscape I think of is an interior one, a kind of projection within a person of a part of the exterior landscape. Relationships in the exterior landscape include those that are named and discernible, such as the nitrogen cycle, or a vertical sequence of Ordovician limestone, and others that are uncodified or ineffable, such as winter light falling on a particular kind of granite, or the effect of humidity on the frequency of a blackpoll warbler’s burst of song….
•
The shape and character of these relationships in a person’s thinking, I believe, are deeply influenced by where on this earth one goes, what one touches, the patterns one observes in nature- the intricate history of one’s life in the land, even a life in the city, where wind, the chirp of birds, the line of a falling leaf, are known. These thoughts are arranged, further, according to the thread of one’s moral, intellectual, and spiritual development. 
•
The interior landscape responds to the character and subtlety of an exterior landscape; the shape of the individual mind is affected by land as it is by genes."
― Barry López, “Crossing Open Ground”

    2020 Highlights: Getting outside safely with trave 2020 Highlights: Getting outside safely with travelers.
•
This year was different in so many ways, however safety has always—and continues to be—a top priority for us. Whether exploring in the backcountry for multiple days, or front-country day hikes, or driving on a main highway, safety is always on our minds.
•
In 2020 we did not guide as many people as a typical year of course, however we made adjustments such as people driving their own private group in a separate car, and keeping at least 6 feet distance when outside. We’ll see what the next year brings, but whatever it is, safety is always on our minds.
