The West Highland Way: Finale (pt.3)
Day 7: Glen Coe to a hill above Kinlochleven Today began in the best way imaginable: The rain and fog had cleared, leaving a fresh crisp morning with unbelievable views of the vast Glen Coe area. Perfect. One more thing I want to mention is that I’ve never been as thankful of not being out in a tent: So much rain and such strong gales. This morning we went for a breakfast but shared one because…

It’s 22 degrees on October 20th & I’m spending 10 hours in a dark theatre. It’s my dream job & I couldn’t be more grateful. But also I miss the woods, the sun, the smell of decaying leaves & wet moss & crackling tree bark. So here are some more photos from hiking the Bruce Trail to help me remember all of the earthy green goodness of the forest.

"Have you ever read Wild?"
Okay this is a question I got all the time when I told anyone that I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. And the answer is yes. I also saw a Tik Tok on how to annoy thru-hikers and this question was on the list lol
Well I personally don't mind the question and I bring up this book now because this next part is where Cheryl Strayed began her journey on the PCT. From Mojave/Tehachapi to Kennedy Meadows. This stretch lasts for roughly 150 miles and it took me about 6 days to complete.
After my well earned rest in Tehachapi, I headed back out on the trail to go through one of the most beautiful sections of the trail so far.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the foothills of the Sierra so naturally, the terrain changes into a more lush landscape and we began to gain some elevation. The campsites between Tehachapi and Kennedy Meadows were all stunning and at night I could see SO MANY STARS it was unreal.
I also need to note that the water carry out of Tehachapi was the longest by far! I want to say it was close to 40 miles? but don't quote me on this. I was very mindful of my water consumption in this part and hiked FAST trying to catch up to some hikers who left a day before me.
I also want to note I cried the most on this stretch of the trail. Not because of sadness but more so because I was in awe of my surroundings and felt surreal and blessed. This is definitely why I love to be outdoors immersed in nature. The sheer magnitude and beauty of the landscape evokes a certain feeling in you (◕‿◕✿)

^That was where I bawled lol
Anyways, I was able to catch up to my fellow hiker Strider in the next stretch and I made it to Walker Pass. We hitched a ride into Ridgewood and stocked up on some supply to push to Kennedy Meadows!

Fast forwarding a little bit, this next section was very hilly and I witnessed some of the most striking sunsets here. I can't stop recalling how beautiful it was and I keep thinking I need to use the word "beautiful" a bit less lol

Push Push Push
And there I was, in Kennedy Meadows!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aw man, you wouldn't believe what I felt there. PURE ECSTASY
The fact that I had hiked 700 miles was mindblowing and seeing others who had walked the same journey melded a sense of solidarity and unity in this community.
The common topic of this hiker haven was where to go next. Because of the high snow fall in the Sierras, many decided to bypass and go up north. As for my trail family, we decided to head up to Mammoth Lakes to go skiing for a day and jump up north.
As for me, I had decided to get off the trail to attend Electric Forest and skip up to the Canadian border to hike down lol In retrospect, this was not a good decision.. but I have no regrets! I'll try to talk more about this process in the next post \(*T▽T*)/

Hello, I thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. It took 5.5 months. It was the most perfect thing/place/time and I cannot wrap my head around the notion that I don't live there anymore. I have never loved a thing the way I love this trail. Carrot Quinn describes it thusly:
"They say there's a long, narrow ribbon of space time that stretches from Mexico to Canada. I hear you can live there, for a little while, as long as you keep moving. But be careful, it will break your heart."

The West Highland Way (pt. 2)
Inversnaid to a river near Crianlarich An early start to day four of the West Highland Way began from Inversnaid Bunkhouse’s camping ground – a continental breakfast was bypassed and saved us £20, but there wasn’t a lot of snacks remaining in our supplies for the day. Resupply opportunities had really dried up! We collected our wet clothes from the drying room – since the heating had been turned…
