Karen Williams is a copywriter for sustainable businesses and runs a small silversmithing operation creating small-batch, hand-forged jewelry. She enjoys trail running, climbing, backpacking, and hiking, especially when her pup can join the adventures. The Grand Canyon National Park is close to her heart—she’s hiked across the expanse over ten times, including completing the rim-to-rim in a day. Karen has also summited Chile’s Cerro Toco (18,386 ft) and spent five days in Torres Del Paine National Park supporting the first blind climbers to summit Torre Norte. She currently lives in Cortez, Colorado.
