It was not yet 8:00 a.m. and my red bandana was soaked. I mopped my face and neck, then wrapped it around my trekking pole handle and picked my way across the rocks, careful of my...
It’s a toasty day on the AT. After a surprise breakfast sandwich I hike through farmland and forest alike. I tackle a late-day climb but there is a happy end to the day. The post H...
The Iron Mountain Trail Detour: The mountain laurels were absolutely blooming on the Iron Mountain Trail detour. Initially, I was a little disappointed to be missing 22 miles of th...
Long Trail Shakedown and AT Section Hike I Know I have not had an update in a while, I promise my training continues! For anyone who has thru-hiked the AT or people intimately fami...
On trail, hikers often ask each why they chose to hike and when they decided to do it. I don’t remember when I first heard of the Appalachian Trail or when I was first inspired to...
At the end of my last blog post, I’d been dropped off at Dicks Creek Gap and camped about a mile up the trail. That night was pretty lonely as it was my first not sharing a shelter...
I really love Appalachia. Sunny, rainy, cold, or 90+90 (90+ degrees, 90% humidity). It ain’t always easy and it ain’t always comfy, but I love it. Today was one of those not comfy...
Today we reached the Grayson Highlands, which genuinely feels like an Appalachian Safari. This has been one of my favorite days so far. Before we could watch the wild ponies and o...
After setting a furious pace the past 3 days I take it down a notch. I chauffeur a fellow hiker, catch up with a few others on trail, and find a unique spot for a much needed showe...
Usually when you hike a mountain you get rewarded with a great view, and then all the hardship vanishes as you take in the vastness of Mother Nature’s beauty. I said usually. The n...
I get my first glimpse of bears near the Appalachian Trail and find a great spot to spend a zero. I share some insights from the hike so far. The post Zero In Princeton, WV appeare...
Spoiler alert: I completed the Appalachian Trail (AT) and summited Mount Katahdin on June 15th, and was the 18th thru hiker to summit in 2026. But before that, though, a little rew...
Coming Out of the Roan Highlands: We had just gotten off one of the most gorgeous sections of trail and were met with US 19E, a rather busy highway which the A.T. goes straight acr...
Entering the Smokies The Smokies had been looming on the horizon for days, and I carried a lot of anticipation as I approached them. I had hiked the first half as a shakedown in 20...
This is a story not about scenic views, wildflowers, animals, people met, towns encountered, but some reality, at least mine, of things we often do not talk about in the hiking com...
I set a course for West Virginia and encounter the trail conditions so flat they would give ironing boards a run for their money. The post West Virginia Bound appeared first on The...

The AT christened me by allowing a pouring down rain for my first seven miles!! Thank you, Mother Nature…you know best! I made it to a shelter and met Red Beard. Super nice man who...
My first night camping alone was a success. I woke up late and said good morning to a barred owl that was staked out on a tree near my tent. Today, I would encounter my first Shena...
As I looked through the photos I took from the first 550 miles, they each don’t really convey the feeling from each of the spots that makes it special. Here’s what I thought was...
Reaching the halfway point on the Appalachian Trail feels strange. I’ve accomplished a lot by walking 1,100 miles, but I’m also sad to be halfway done with my journey. After more t...
I am two thirds of my way into my Appalachian Trail Thru Hike. With thr triple zero, this seemed like a good time to share some of my feelings on the trail. So what have been the g...
The Annual Smoky Mountains Wildflower Pilgrimage (Or Close Encounters of the BEAR Kind) Day 23-25 Zero For the past 75 years, “pilgrims”have descended upon the Smokies to celebrat...
It was an easy 12 miles down to Harpers Ferry, WV, this morning. There was almost no elevation gain, and it seemed like I had the whole trail to myself. I listened to music on my p...
