Independence High School junior Saanvi Mylavarapu says she has hiked more than 1,000 miles in the last decade.

Even though Saanvi Mylavarapu's just 16 years old, she's racked up a lifetime of achievements.

"Being close to the outdoors is so important, not only for your health, but also the planet’s health," said Mylavarapu."You start in France, go into Italy, Switzerland, then back to France. You do a giant loop around Mont Blanc which is the highest peak in Europe," she said."To hike uphill in hail and snow and wind, with ice hitting your face, carrying a backpack, and you have to keep going, but you are so tired," said Mylavarapu.

"It was the first time me and my brother really got along because when you are on a trail stuck with your family without anyone else to talk to, you are forced to talk to each other a lot!" she joked."It was my first really tough hike when I was 10 years old, 16 miles. It is vertical, you have to use arm strength," said Mylavarapu. "It is the best feeling on top of the half dome you see all of Yosemite Valley, thinking, wow, I did this.
