2016 is the year for new adventure and lots of fun while serving my favorite organization - YETI! My name is Jessica and known to many as Wildflower. I'm a mentor and teacher to many young people from grade school to college level. As an avid adventurer, I bring a passion for the outdoors and provide leadership that helps improve the lives of our youth through nature. From local area adventures during after-school club to summer time Sasquatch Hunts; we climb mountains, go rafting, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, rock climbing, backpacking and SO MUCH MORE!

Starting March 19th, myself and a fellow adventurist and dear friend of mine, Nicole, are hitting the Arizona Trail . While the adventure will be a reward in itself, hiking with a purpose to give back to the community brings a deeper satisfaction. Hiking the entire 800+ mile length of the AZT from the Mexico border to Utah through the rough and rugged, high desert, mountainous state of Arizona is sure to bring trials of endurance over the 60 day trek! We know it will push us to our limits while providing amazement of what one can accomplish through will power just by putting one foot in front of the other. You will be able to follow along with us on Facebook as we blog about our adventure... Hiking with Wildflower.

We're asking for anyone who can help support YETI to please give whatever you can. Your entire tax deductable gift will go directly to YETI. Currently, YETI is in desperate need of a new transportion vanpool for the next spring and summer programs. Having reliable transportation will allow us to continue to do the important mission of getting kids outside exploring the natural world to develope stewardship, character and grit, through challenging outdoor adventures.

The gratitude we have for even the smallest gift is as high as the sky and as big as Everest. Truly you are supporting one of the best non-profits on the planet. The friendships, relationships, and skills these kids build through YETI and being outside will last a lifetime.
