Shelly Eberly has loved hiking and backpacking since she was old enough to walk, and she has finally balanced work and play enough to share that passion with others. She has led backpacking trips in the ecologically rich Appalachians, the soaring Rocky Mountains, the lush mountains of the Pacific Northwest, and the exquisitely sparse deserts of the Southwest. Regardless of where she is backpacking, Shelly looks forward to sharing the rejuvenating power of the natural world with you. She has been a member of the Sierra Club since 1985 and is a certified Wilderness First Responder.
