There are four weeks left in the National Parks Traveler's biggest fundraiser yet, to raise $100,000 to support the writers, broadcasters, podcasters, and editors who make this site possible every day of the year. If you enjoyed today's podcast with Rick Ridgeway, who has a new book about his Life Lived Wild, please support our efforts to continue to bring you similar voices from the outdoors world.

National Parks Traveler has operated with only one full-time staffer since its inception, but has a core team of freelance writers, photographers, broadcasters, and sound recording engineers that are relied upon heavily to provide content. They're being introduced to you in a series of short profiles.
