Description
Consider gifts that keep giving. Marta Bills fell in love with backpacking on a sixth grade class trip to the Sierra’s. And her love of getting away for days at a time with a heavy pack in the mountains stayed with her up until she had kids. The busyness of family life coupled with complicated logistics kept her away from her favorite activity for decades. On her 60th birthday, her daughter surprised her by proposing a path to reunite Marta with her love of backpacking.
