My name is Rachel, but many know me by Glacier-Swiss. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail NOBO in 2015, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I am still an avid hiker and spend pretty much all of my free time going on new adventures, being creative, or drinking coffee. When I thru-hiked, I spent a lot of my time dreaming about what could be: lifestyle changes I could make, hobbies to try, new adventures to go on. One of my goals was to document my Appalachian adventure properly. I tried to blog while on trail, but different challenges proved that my social media efforts would have to be put on hold. 6 months after my thru-hike completion, I have created a blog series, "Appalachian Trail Retrospective," which aims to provide guidance and insight for YOUR AT adventures! Blogs will be posted weekly on Appalachian Trials. If you want more detail on my thru-hike experience, check out the "Appalachian Trail" section of my personal website: www.ContinueTheAdventure.com
