I am married to a red-bearded wonder. We are avid backpackers exploring our American backyard one national park at a time.

There’s so much to show and share about our hike. When people ask how it was, my mind is flooded with a million memories. I can’t recount “how it was” in a single statement. Where do I begin? I’m starting to realize I don’t need to be linear; I can share about the moments and the people that feel closest to me. This tent view is from the base of Mather Pass. We lost the trail on our way to camp, which resulted in me post-holing up to my crotch. I pleaded for Squeezey to come to my rescue, but he post-holed as well trying to dig me out. We rolled up to camp cold and wet. Luckily The Disciples greeted us with jokes and made me forget about our toil on the tundra. #pct2018 #tentview

I’ve watched two sunrises from the top of Half Dome. The first time was two days after Nicholas and I got married. It was the two of us and a group of PCT hikers greeting the sun. I remember we talked about how we couldn’t wait to be them, be PCT thru-hikers. Then, in a blink of an eye, we were them, standing on top of Half Dome after walking 942 miles. Now I’m back home, dreaming of this moment and cherishing those rays, those immense feelings of pride, because we dreamed it and lived it. #tbt #pct2018
