PACIFIC CREST TRAIL
-
2021 | JMT SOBO | PCT SECTION
John Muir Trail take two…and then some. I started my hike at Sonora Pass on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), continued along the JMT, and ended at Cottonwood Lakes….with a trail family of eight.
-
2022 | CAMPO to ACTON + CENTRAL OREGON
Take ONE. I started my hike with the intention on making it to Canada. Mentally, it didn’t feel right. After dealing with blister issues out of Big Bear, I ended my hike in Acton. I restarted my hike in Ashland, OR only to have it cut short by an injury.
-
2023 | CAMPO to CASCADE LOCKS
Take TWO. The hike that makes me want to keep coming back. Cut short due to fires and a historic snow year. I hiked from Campo to Kennedy Meadows South with a wonderful trail family. Solo from Chester north to Cascade Locks until smoke filled the air. Flip flop to Donner Pass through the Sierra with a new trail partner.

2025 | CASCADE LOCKS TO SNOQUALMIE PASS + HARTS PASS TO CANADA
*Coming soon
-
202_ | MEXICO TO CANADA
*Coming soon?
Take THREE. Especially given the current state of the country, every part of me wants to head out for another six months on trail.
