I first heard of long distance or thru hiking in 2016. I was going through a large shift in my life ending a long term relationship and picked up the famous book “Wild” and was moved on the idea of walking through my emotions. In 2017 I stepped foot on the Pacific Crest Trail, and since then I’ve been captivated by exploring the wilderness and new places by foot.

At least now I knew that my heart was wedded to the mountains—to the wild places. It was there, and there alone, that I was whole, contented, and blissful. No relationship, career, or wealth could ever take its place.
