It’s a blazingly beautiful fall day, the Utah sky a cloudless bowl of cobalt blue arcing above 800-foot sandstone canyon walls on the Green River. If there’s a picture postcard of a desert river, we’re in it—a flotilla of colorful whitewater rafts bobbing along a twisting ribbon of silty water. Just ahead in a bend in the river is a narrow sandbar island, where we’ll camp for the night. We’ve been coming to rivers like the Green since our daughters, now 12 and 14, were babies. In the beginning, we went to the wilderness because my husband and I loved it and selfishly wanted them to love it, too.

On Oct. 15, hundreds gathered in Telluride, Colo., to celebrate the life of renowned ski mountaineer Hilaree Nelson . Nelson, 49, died on Sept. 26 when she triggered a small avalanche while skiing off the 26,781-foot summit of Mount Manaslu in Nepal. The crowd read like a who’s-who from the world of climbing and adventure. Jimmy Chin, who won an Academy Award for his 2018 documentary “Free Solo,” shared stories of a long friendship. Nelson’s death triggered an outpouring of tributes from people around the world, most of whom, like me, didn’t know her personally.
