Beverly Berger

"My husband and I started hiking together when were graduate students a very long time ago and have continued it for many years -- hiking, backpacking, mainly in the western US and Canada but also in the East and Europe. Wherever we get the chance. My favorite is Yellowstone. We've backpacked through it many times, about a week at a time every few years."
