About me

Me, on Overhanging Rock, viewing Yosemite Falls - Yosemite National Park June 2022

My name is Sam Anderson.  I'm a husband, father, backpacker, and adventurer.  I love traveling to wild and ruggedly beautiful places and I'm passionate about helping others learn to love and appreciate those experiences too.  

I'm an educator by profession (17+ years) and I love adventuring with my amazing wife and four fantastic kids too!

I have a lot of backpacking experience (My travel resume) and I'm always dreaming of where I can travel and explore next.

My newest adventure is founding and operating "605 Adventure LLC" so I can share these awesome experiences with others!

I am certified in CPR and WFA (Wilderness First-Aid) through NOLS, the National Outdoor Leadership School.
