ABOUT DAN: Dan Heinz and his wife Karen Boeger built their high mountain home in the Pah Rah mountains 20 years ago and are allowing us to pass through their property for this NEDA ride. Thirteen springs run on their property. Through their canyon they created a series of ponds from which they generate hydroelectricity. Dan's storied career as a US Forest Service Ranger led to another in conservation, in defense of wild lands and wildlife. Dan Heinz passed away on April 30, 2012. Proceeds from this ride will be donated to the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers in Dan's honor.
