The Salida Recreation Travelogue series is a great way to see others' recreation related vacations and adventures without ever having to leave Salida. It is also a great way for those that do the traveling to share their experiences with their community. This travelogue features Amber van Leuken on her recent trip to Nepal. The Annapurna Region of Nepal is breathtaking and remote. In November, Amber returned to Nepal to travel through this mountainous region by foot with her two daughters, ages 5 and 9, her mother, age 65, and friends. Their adventure, full of hiking, cultural immersion, and breathtaking views, invites all of us, regardless of age, to push boundaries and venture into new worlds.
