Becky Lipton’s love of nature originated from extended camping trips with her family and the Girl Scouts in the Midwest. As an adult, she lived in places where spectacular outdoor adventures were abundant -- Colorado, Utah, and now in Oregon -- where she can spend as much time in the outdoors as possible. Becky led youth on canoe trips across the mighty Mississippi River and in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area with the Davenport YMCA while in college. Most recently Becky has led hikes and extended backpack trips for an outdoor club in Oregon.
