River Adventure".
From her first wilderness expedition in Dark Canyon in 1970 to
rowing an 18’ foot raft through the Grand Canyon in 2010, Lorrie
Bonds-Lopez has been a wilderness addict. In the 70’s and 80’s
she worked as a professional for Outward Bound and in scores of
other outdoor education programs delivering 1 to 28 day
wilderness experiences involving canyoneering, mountaineering,
rafting and kayaking.

Her travels include the rivers of Alaska, Canada, and the
American West, mountain ranges from Mexico to Canada and the
canyons in between. Until her first child was born, most years
were spent living out of a backpack and kayak. She went on to
raise her children on a diet of rivers and wilderness and now
continues pursuits with far-flung trips in Asia and is
constantly expanding the checklist of domestic wilderness
destinations.
