A true enthusiast of the Sierra’s gold rush heritage, she enjoys wandering dusty backroads, uncovering forgotten places or just taking photos of the region’s stunning mountain landscapes. While not a professional photographer, Cherry loves capturing the charm and character of her favorite places—preserving the beauty and stories she encounters along the way.
