Lisa Hendy was driving North Face UK through Wyoming in a blizzard when she received the news that she had just been awarded the National Park Services (NPS) 2011 Harry Yount National Park Ranger Award for excellence, in effect dubbing her as the best ranger in the nation. I had to pull over when my supervisor told me, she told OldWestNewWest Travel History Magazine north face jackets for men. Afterwards, I drove for a while trying to absorb the news and realized I was 11 miles past my turn off north face nuptse vest. It was overwhelming. According to the award nomination submitted by Grand Canyon National Parks Chief Ranger Bill Wright, Supervisory Park Ranger Hendy has earned it. Ranger Hendy is one of those rangers that can be sent to any call. (She) is one of that rare breedthat simply excel at every aspect of rangering, he said. Hendy was born in Chattanooga, Tenn. and attended Auburn University. Over the years, she has worked in Yosemite, Rocky Mountain, Arches and Yellowstone National Parks. In 2004, she accepted a position as a law enforcement ranger in Grand Canyon National Parks Canyon District where she still works today. Her advice for those who want to explore the Grand Canyon? I think if folks want to see the best of Grand Canyon, they need to get some experience hiking here, and then branch out beyond the Corridor of the Bright Angel and the Kaibab, she said. You cannot do that lightly this place will eat you alive.
