Mountain Recreation
The goal of Mountain Recreation is not simply to get back to normal, the goal is to be better. (Special to the Daily)
This past year may be remembered as the year of COVID-19, but I prefer to see it as the year our community came together like never before to push our valley forward. And I am proud to say that Mountain Recreation, and its staff, played an instrumental role as a community health leader.
