Hey readers! Thanks for tuning in. I'll be writing here about my upcoming PCT hike. I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2011, the John Muir Trail in 2012, and the Wonderland Trail in 2013. I worked, hiked, skied, and played in the White Mountains in New Hampshire and Maine for a while but now I'm living in Tahoe City, CA where I work as a backcountry ski guide and environmental policy advocate. I am SO excited to hike from Mexico to Canada along the Sierras this Spring.
