About Me

My name is Liza Jane Branch, and I go to the High Mountain Institute in Leadvillle, Co. It's a semester program that accepts kids from all across the nation to backpack, grow, and learn in Colorado and Utah's beautiful backcountry. We've been on three expeditions, two in the Colorado, one in Utah, and it's been pretty challenging. We've used skills that HMI has taught us to live comfortably and navigate both woodsy forests and open canyons. This blog reflects on my journey with the wilderness, and includes some pretty cool photos of my time in the backcountry, so please check it out!
