I have really adored my time in the RAP program and there will be many things I will miss in the Coconino Forest!

The Beauty in a Snowy Work Day

This Little Lizard Always Visiting Me When I Had to Work Office Days
Workers standing on rocks, moving rocks
Playing Tetris with Rocks (It’s actually a really important concept of rock work)
Muddy pants and shoes
Basically Playing in the Dirt, Trail Work is just One Giant Zen Garden
3 workers smiling on rock staircase
Building with my Coworkers

My time as a RAP intern has been such a fun learning experience. I have gained a lot of knowledge from a lot of different people here that I can apply anywhere I go from here. Although I stepped into this position, with only my assumptions- knowing nothing about trail work, I am walking away with a years worth of knowledge beyond trail work. I know what it takes to be a project manager behind the scenes, how to write a NEPA public scoping document, how to use power tools I never thought I’d use, how to backpack properly; I have learned how to build so many things. Thank you to all the people that have poured into me in this position I am forever grateful.
