Volunteer Spotlight: Lani Lott's love for the outdoors started at a very young age with annual vacations somewhere in a forest with her family. Years later she shared the appreciation of those adventures with her own family, her husband and three kids, as they would head off to a national park for hiking, horseback riding, fishing and just running wild in the woods enjoying nature. Lani now resides in Phoenix where she enjoys some hiking and operates her economic development and downtown revitalization consulting business. Lani is also the acting part time Executive Director for the Arizona Heritage Alliance where she maintains their website among other tasks. When YTA put out a call for the need of assistance with their Facebook page, Lani didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Though she lives in Phoenix, she couldn’t be happier with the opportunity to join forces with our amazing organization. Thank you Lani for all you do to support the Yavapai Trails Association! #volunteerism#Community#communityinvolvement#yavapaitrailsassociation #volunteersrock#yavapaitrails#hikingarizona...

Volunteer Spotlight: Joanne Polayes moved to Prescott from Seattle 10 years ago after she and her husband retired. Professionally, Joanne was an environmental specialist at Washington State Department of Ecology. An avid hiker, accessibility to trails was indeed a major draw for Polayes. She has now hiked many Prescott trails multiple times, and she is happy to be able to give back by volunteering for the Yavapai Trails Association. Joanne also enjoys bicycling, gardening, exploring the Southwest, traveling back to the Pacific Northwest, and traveling abroad. Hence, her photo from a recent trip to Iceland. Thank you Joanne for all you do for the Yavapai Trails Association. #yavapaitrailsassociation#community#volunteerism#volunteersrock#yavapaitrails#bikingarizona#communityinvolvement...

Iceland is amazing. I spent my 40th birthday there last year
Volunteer Spotlight: Mindy Luce is a Phoenix area resident who realizes that the distance to Prescott is worth the reward. She ran across Yavapai Trails Association president Ann Hendrickson at a hiking event that she saw promoted. “I thought it was a clean-up day, so I recruited a bunch of my hiking friends to come,” admits Mindy. They enjoyed the hike and the conversation. Afterward, after receiving a mailing from YTA asking for volunteers to be webmaster for the web page, she jumped at the chance. Mindy loves hiking around Prescott and especially likes the trails around Watson Lake. She has hiked and kayaked around the area and plans to come frequently. Mindy is also planning to complete the Prescott Circle Trail in the coming year. Thank you Mindy for all you do to support the Yavapai Trails Association. #yavapaitrailsassociation#Community#volunteerism#volunteersrock... See MoreSee Less
