JACKSON, Wyo. — From the return of native cutthroat trout in Yellowstone to running 93 miles around Mt. Rainier to an all women’s ski and sail expedition in Norway, it was an inspiring year of stories from the mountain life. Take the journey with Stio, across the country and around the world, as they revisit their favorite stories of 2019.

The Return

Dave Sweet has spent over a decade helping to bring back the Yellowstone Cutthroat from the brink of extinction. Along with his daughter, Diana, a fisheries biologist, he will travel into the infamous Thorofare area of Yellowstone, the most remote wilderness in the lower 48, to see if his efforts have been successful and if the trout has returned to its native spawning runs.

Fat Tires, Clear Mind

It’s easy to get stuck in the perpetual grind of a daily routine, but for Ann Driggers, the times commuting to and from work are sacred moments. She calls her commute “therapy on wheels”. She savors this time as an opportunity to connect with nature, experience solace, and stay active with friends.
