Estelle Pensiero, major up and coming back country power house and daughter of Jeff Pensiero (owner of Baldface Lodge), has just gone on her dream trip to the big, bold Alaska back country. And she had to go on and make us tear up with a heartfelt Instagram post about how much it meant to her. See below.

To have Travis Rice mentor her during her first trip to Alaska is a testament to the level that Estelle rides. We can not wait to see Estelle tackle AK like it is her own back yard.
