After the Bears Ears meeting, @brooke.froelich and I went straight to the high mountains – to meet up with 16 other wild women at the Opus Hut in the San Juan Mountains. Usually, I get outside with a mix of men and women. I grew up competing with three brothers, and I don't personally need to be in a gender segregated group to overcome athletic challenges. That said, being in this group of strong, passionate women filled a void for me. I felt what it was like to have sisters, and it rejuvenated my spirit. The best part was the contagious giggling. Huge thanks to @boldbrewteam for organizing this event and to all the ladies who came out. Photo: @brooke.froelich
