I first met Julie climbing Geronimo in Redrocks and boy was I lucky.  I didn’t know it at the time, but Julie would encourage me to do all kinds of things.  One of my favorite memories was the time she took me out for my first backcountry ski trip.  I had just purchased a backcountry…

I have had the pleasure of knowing Julie for 25+yrs beginning in CO and most recently in NM.

Julie got us into every outdoor activity possible after we met over 30 years ago.  We have a myriad of adventures with her thanks to Julie’s adventuresome spirit and desire to live life to its fullest.  We will be forever grateful for her friendship and she will be forever missed.

Julie showed us a fun time when we went to visit her in New Mexico. I will also remember seeing how she took such loving care of her old cat. Julie was so fun and also so kind!
