Tianshu moved
to Los Alamos from Toronto, Canada in November 2006 and joined
LA Mountaineers in December 2006. Tianshu's first year
with LA Mountaineers has been a learning experience for her.
Many of her "first time" outdoor activities occurred with this
group of amazing people such as first time hiking in the canyon
and in the mud, first time backpacking and starting a campfire,
first time setting up a tent and sleeping in the wild nature.
A road runner of a big city transforming into a backpacker of
the wild country, she couldn't have imagined how much she would
love hiking on rugged trails, climbing high mountains, and
encountering wild flowers and animals. She is looking
forward to learning and experiencing more with the LA
Mountaineers.
