Adventure
Starts With You
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”
-Helen Keller
I have thought of this quote many times when I have been thinking about a hike, planning a hike, and even on a hike. Hiking is my passion, and each hike is an adventure. While it may be daring, solo hiking or hiking in bear country, each trail dares me to be a stronger, braver, and better person. I will always choose that path.
In the spirit of adventure, I have created this website because over the past 5 years I have seen an increase in the number of people on trails who are not properly prepared for hiking, especially in the backcountry. My goal is to make a difference for new/beginner hikers through providing little bits of important information to help keep everyone safe while outdoors.
Where to Start
Hiking can be daunting, especially if you are new to it. Sometimes, it’s as easy as walking on the trail. Other times, you’ll need to know a bit more about the trail, route finding, or what to do if you see a bear. There’s a lot to learn, but I am here to help you get going with small bits of important information! I have complied all the information I wish I knew or could easily find when I didn’t know what questions to ask.
Leave No Trace Principles
Part of being outdoors is being responsible for its beauty, the best way to do that is if everyone Leaves No Trace.
