Rachel Kowalsky is, by anyone's standards, an amazing person. After being diagnosed with thyroid disease in 2011, she decided to start her healing by climbing a mountain...or two...or a hundred...

When we spoke with her on Friday, she had reached the summit of 102 mountains, but that will change by the end of the weekend. Her blog is a literal account of the nature she experiences (which she will add to and put in book form, eventually) and will keep you mesmerized with amazing stories and photos of her and her dog, Isis, who accompanies Rachel on many climbs. One of their companions during climbs is 92 Moose, and for that, we are most grateful!

Rachel loves to talk about her passion, as you will hear in our conversation this morning!
