Allie McCurry

Allie grew up in Bend, Oregon, where she spent her time roaming the high desert with her dogs. Allie’s fascination with how people interact with their landscape led her to complete her undergraduate and graduate degrees in anthropology and archaeology. After graduating, she spent several years switching between seasonal park ranger jobs for the National Park Service and extended trips abroad with her husband before working as an assistant park manager for Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Allie and her husband run a hobby cherry orchard in Bigfork, Montana, where they live with their two young children, two dogs, and lots of chickens. Allie is deeply passionate about sharing her love of the outdoors with her children, and she spends her time hiking, camping, skiing, and boating with her family.
