Rocky Mountain National Park: Jourdyn, 17 - "Facing into the Wind"
About Jourdyn: "Hi, my name is Jourdyn and I’m from Madison, WI. I came to Northwest Passage for mistakes I have made. But now I have learned to deal situations and frustrations. One way I've been able to cope with anger is to get out and explore with my camera. This is a way I’ve been able to calm myself down and get cool pics at the same time. I would like to thank the staff here but most of all my friend and mentor Ben Thwaits."
