This is one of my favorite photos taken of me. In 2010, I hiked from the Everglades to Pensacola on the Florida Trail National Scenic Trail with my trailmate and photographer, Liz Czapski. In this moment I felt so low, I felt so incompetent, I felt so in over my head. Liz and I had hiked for days without shade in knee deep mud with cypress branches whipping our bodies and faces. We averaged one mile an hour because of the mud. I was out of shape and my body couldn't take the physical stress. In this moment, sitting in the mud, I finally had cell service and wanted to check in with my mom to tell her I was okay, and I broke down crying in exhaustion and frustration and self-doubt. Liz and I fantasized about quitting and using the money we saved to go to Disney World. But we didn't quit, we accepted help, used the advice and guidance from people we encountered, learned skills beyond what we imagined learning, and had an amazing adventure that re-shaped my views (and confidence) of myself, my skills, and my capabilities. I love this photo because it is a reminder that when I am sitting in the mud and I feel my lowest and I feel like I couldn't possibly keep going or I'll never accomplish my goals, that in fact I CAN actually keep going, even when it's hard. . . . . . . . . . . #Florida #floridatrail #trailmagic #hiking #nationalscenictrail #everglades #forest #cypress #frustration #givingup #keepgoing #quitting #hike #backpack #backpacking #thruhiking https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KhPQAFwNl/?igshid=1qociwh269x6c

The Pacific Crest Trail spans 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada. We donate a percentage of sales of this print to the PCTA (they work to protect, preserve and promote the trail) because we can't be there to physically stop people from destroying the trail and the lands surrounding it. (We do a lot of our own reprimanding for litter bugs/careless folks on the east coast as it is.) Can't be in all the places at once so we support the networks that provide services that matter. These lands mean more to future generations than we can even begin to understand. Once it's gone it's gone. 🌳🌲🌱🌵🌿

Happy birthday to the Appalachian Trail! The incredible 2,192 mile-long footpath was completed on August 14, 1937. Anywhere from 2 to 3 million people hike a portion of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail each year. One of the lauded romantic journeys of our time, only about 20,000 people have thru-hiked the winding trail from #Georgia to #Maine. Whether you're taking 5 or 6 months to traverse the whole thing or an afternoon hike to enjoy the charm and the scenery, The A.T. is a treasure that will not disappoint.

Happy 50th anniversary to the Pacific Crest Trail / National Trails System! Today was the perfect day to go on a hike and I made sure I got a picture along the PCT. I shared my first “real hike” story with another person at the Deep Creek Hot Springs today. . I was not really an outdoorsy person from teenage years on. No interest in hiking or camping. I became overrun in a house full of boys- 3 sons and a husband all wanting to explore the outdoors. Earlier this year, I finally caved and thought, “ok, if I can be a runner, maybe I can try trails too. I’ll suck it up for these boys!” We found a portion of the PCT practically in our backyard. 4.25 miles in to Rainbow Bridge. I borrowed a baby hiking backpack from a friend, packed a lunch for the family, and off we went. Over 8 miles round trip. Of course “Baby Bear” wanted nothing to do with daddy carrying him, since he’s 100% mamas boy. Ok, woman up, I’ll carry him so he doesn’t cry for 4 miles to the bridge. The experience was, much to my surprise, wonderful. My big boys had a blast, my husband was happy we did something he enjoyed, the toddler looked like he was in heaven being outside the whole day. There was a sense of peace being away from the world, tucked back in the hills along the PCT, just my family and I. Also, I carried that little boy, in a carrier not even fit to my body, for 8 miles. I felt pretty invincible at the end of that day hike. I never knew the gratification that nature provides. Now we’ve explored more areas of the PCT, So Cal and Nevada. However, I think the PCT will always hold a special place for me after that first trip. Thanks to some of my friends and especially my family for showing me what’s out there, and dealing with my reluctance all these years. And a special thanks to the Pacific Crest Trail on their 50th anniversary for an eye opening experience even on a small, 8 mile stretch of the 2000+ miles of trail. . First pic from today, the rest are some throwbacks from this year. 💛 @pctassociation @nationaltrailssystem #pct #pacificcresttrail #nationaltrails #nationalscenictrail #nature #trails #atpct50 (at Apple Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BodA-kqDs6u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x5jgj9ep1gt6
