Today I want to share a little story with you. A bit of the journey that led me here to these rugged California foothills, which I now call home. The story behind ExploreKingsCanyon.com. It all started about 15 years ago at the base of the Colorado front-range. The Rocky Mountains were the backdrop of my young adulthood, a natural playground that I soon learned to climb and conquer. These were the hills in which I learned to hike, snowboard, and explore. I was inspired by towns like Aspen and Breckenridge; entranced by the local way-of-life, the close-knit communities, and the adventure-culture that was the very essence of these high-up places and the people who gave them life.
