In her own words...

Why are you involved in MMTA? 

 

I see it as an enormous opportunity for our community as a whole. It not only encourages people to visit, but it's one more perk we have for encouraging folks to move into our community.


If you could only pick one activity on the trails, what would it be?

 

Definitely hiking for me personally, but I also really enjoyed the time I've spent building trails with my co-workers. We try to have a City of Hurricane staff "build day" each spring and fall. This gives our staff a chance to do something different for a day while being able to see firsthand what it takes to build trails. We also genuinely like spending time together, so it's always great to spend the day with people whom you don't normally work beside doing something great for the community.
