Words & photos by TREW ambassador Emily Tidwell. I’ve always been deeply impacted by the places and spaces I spend my time. I grew up on the banks of the Mississippi and the shores of Lake Superior. I spent my 20's among the Unitas and deep in the forests of Mt Hood. When it comes down to it? I am my best when I am in nature. When I moved to Reno, I realized the power of living in a city and being arm’s length from wilderness.Within an hour drive from my front door I can find myself deep in the mountains, in the mass expanse of the high desert, or dipping into cool alpine lakes or the deep emerald bays of Lake Tahoe. Nature, I can find in any direction. I’ve spent eight years in the “Cal/Neva” and have had so many great adventures. Here’s a few snaps of some of my favorites: April is Earth Month!
