When she is not on trails and looking for ghost towns, in her 2011 JK “Max,” Denise loves skiing, snowshoeing, camping, finding hot springs, traveling, spending time with her husband, adult children and grandson, and her 2 dogs who love to join her on her adventures (the dogs not the husband), helps as youth leader for her church, as well as working on taking photos for her photo coffee table book that she hopes to get finished soon.
