Editor’s Note: Wilderness Ranger Adam Taylor is usually full of words. But in this instance, he chose to let his camera do the talking. Curious what a ranger’s life looks like? Follow along as Adam:
- Scopes out the wildlife,
- Repairs the trail,
- Collects hail in his hand from a lightning storm that causes a wildfire (that he reports to the fire command center)
- Hikes through, on and up some of the most remote country in the lower 48
