An avid hiker, camper, and traveler, Joanie Sanchez’s love of the outdoors began with an opportunity to work one summer with the Youth Conservation Corps in Yosemite National Park. That summer led her to serving as a leader within the group the following year, teaching and mentoring as she shared her passion for nature. Since then her adventures have taken her backpacking across Europe, biking through New England, and hiking through the Caribbean Islands. She has traveled extensively throughout Mexico. Her books include The Adventure Guide to Mexico’s Gulf Coast, published in 2004 by Hunter Publishing, and her popular 60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Dallas/Ft. Worth, published by Menasha Ridge Press. The third edition of 60 Hikes within 60 Miles of DFW was released in January of 2019.
