Introducing "Team Rain or Shine!" I am incredibly proud of this fierce group of women. This was their first time backpacking and the weather decided to give them a little taste of everything. Day 1 was 83°F, and when you are carrying 30lbs+ on your back and walking...
It's been nine long months since my girls and I have been on trail together. Life got a little crazy for everyone in the second half of last year, but we finally found our way back to the trail together. We've been hearing about the Suwannee section of the Florida...
8.4 miles today 30.1 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ We camped on top of the mountain, which is great for views but oh so windy at night! It also rained for an hour right before we had to pack up, which always makes for a fun camp break-down. Today we hiked through Shining Rock...
11.2 miles today 20.7 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ We woke-up early to get on trail before sunrise, but have very relaxed expectations for the day. Maybe we stop after 3 miles, maybe we make it 6, or maybe we make it to our original planned campsite at Investors Gap making it at...
10.5 miles today ∘∘∘∘∘ We started the day right before first light. I'm so grateful to be back on trail and excited to show Grant my hiking world ♥️ Everything is so green right now. Being back in the forest feels like I can finally breath again. The Pisgah National...
17 miles today 83 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ The last few miles are always the hardest, but these women showed incredible strength and made it to the end! 83 miles in 5 days...no big deal 😉 [gallery type='google' view ='photos'...
16.4 miles today 66 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ Conquered mountains today! I woke up at 3am and quickly realized everyone had a rough, cold night sleep. But that cold made it our quickest camp breakdown yet ? Started morning with a 4.5 mile climb. Everyone was freezing, but we...
16.1 miles today 49.6 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ HUMP DAY! Smack dab in the middle of our trip. Today we passed our halfway point AND this is officially the longest hike we've been on together ? It was probably our easiest day. Less miles and less elevation changes. But...
17.2 miles today 33.5 miles total ∘∘∘∘∘ After our intense introduction to the Arizona heat yesterday, we decided to adjust our schedule to start really early and take a long break in the middle of the day. Luckily our bodies are still functioning on east coast time,...
