 I am a member of the North Woods chapter and former Director for the Laurentian chapter of ADK. I live in Saranac Lake,NY. I was a high school Art teacher and also an Adjunct Professor at St. Lawrence University, in Canton, NY. My outdoor experience includes leading numerous chapter outings, trips for several ADK Fall Outings, 17 of the 46 High Peaks, trail work projects, some extended back-packing trips in Colorado and Utah, and I’m a volunteer fire tower interpreter on Azure Mountain. I am a first-time trip leader, but I survived 31 years of teaching Art for grades 7-12, so I think I can handle things. I also have several mentors, experienced ADK trip leaders Mary Coffin and Mary Krueger – and for my first trip I am leading one that Mary K. helped organize. I’ve also gone on two previous ADK outings: the Boundary Waters Canoe Trip in 2002 and the Olympic Park Trip in 2004. Not only did I have a great time, but I also had plenty of opportunities to learn about all the things a good trip leader needs to do. When I’m not hiking, paddling, or cross-country skiing, I am an active, exhibiting artist, producing Adirondack wilderness landscapes in oils and watercolors. If you want to see some you can check out my personal web site: SandraHildreth.com. I’ll have my paints with me in Montana. I’m really looking forward to leading the Glacier Park Hiking & Nature Study trip in 2009 and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sandy |
