He loves seeing the growth that can happen both in individuals and in groups from time spent in the backcountry, and to be able to find a great sense of fulfillment in being able to facilitate that experience. You can catch Jackson this summer on our Red Peak Pass Loop in August & our Half Dome Clouds Rest in September!
