For those of you who don’t know, I’m interning at Backpacker Magazine this summer in Boulder, Colorado. Since it’s been a little more than a month, I figured I’d give you an update!
My daily tasks include writing web articles (which can be seen on my new stories page), posting to various social media platforms, creating content on the website, and producing content on the website. I also work on website testing and ebook development! So far, I love it, and never want to leave the magazine world again. My favorite part is working with the ebooks and writing the news articles – it’s sort of like blogging!
Last week, I took the week off to go on vacation with my sister (which I will show on the blog next week). My superior, Trent, looked through the photos from my trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and chose this one to feature on the Facebook and Twitter.

How was everyone’s weekend? Any good hikes to share? @abbeydufoe got a little sledding in at Great Sand Dunes NP! pic.twitter.com/Sci1uDVmzl

Check out my sister Charlotte taking the sand-sled up to the top of the dunes! Stay tuned for more photos for that trip!
