Most memorable outdoor moment:

There are so many amazing moments to choose from! One that particularly sticks out in my mind was from the time I was living in Alaska. It was mid-summer and we had gone for a very long hike. The sun was beginning to set across the lake and you could see Denali, slightly glistening in the distance. As we decided to head back, someone asked what time it was. It was 1:00 AM. We had no idea it was so late (or early) because the sun was still out! It was such a surreal moment and made me appreciate the bonus daylight and all we were able to experience from it.
