Ali Frame was supposed to be in Yosemite for only a summer season. In the summer of 2018, she packed up her entire life into one car and drove out from Utah to work as a Yosemite shuttle bus driver. Immediately she fell in love with the place and the Sierra Nevada had her trapped (in the best way possible!) ever since. Yosemite taught her the lesson that when we connect to a place, we connect to ourselves differently and she aspires to do just that through her work as a naturalist guide. Her enthusiasm to connect visitors from all walks of life to the park is contagious and shows through her passion for exploration and curiosity about the natural world around her.
