Oh hey! Hey wouldn’t it look so cool if I a heel Oh hey! Hey wouldn’t it look so cool if I a heel click jump?! 

I realized leading you to the first heel click that it would in fact NOT look cool šŸ˜‚ More ridiculous than cool. 

Sometimes I hit the trail thinking I look like I have my shit together and am looking all pro and then I see photos and think damn… that’s a dirt fairy who looks like she wore every non-matching thing in her closet šŸ˜‚

I miss the days of scrolling through photos. If it I miss the days of scrolling through photos. If it wasn’t for the fact that I use IG for my business, I’d just say fuck it and continue to post photos with the odd reel thrown in because sometimes they are fun!

My preferred hikes are those with less people (or My preferred hikes are those with less people (or none). To do this, I’ll hike popular trails during inclement weather and in shoulder seasons OR I find the lesser traversed trails which usually means it’s harder/longer/more difficult to get to.

This particular hike checked all the boxes. It had significant elevation gain and had significant snow for the latter portion of the trail. Some people camped right at the spots just before the snow became difficult. Having the confidence/skills to go further meant we had the entire area to ourselves for the night. Plus, fair weather hikers don’t get to see the lake when it’s this color!!!!

This was the most elevation gain I’ve had in a s This was the most elevation gain I’ve had in a short distance apart from Aasgards Pass in the Enchantments. About 2/3 of the way up we hit snow which makes that gain all the more work! 

I will huff and puff on the way up, but the going down is what gets me. Losing 4k feet in 5.5 miles is a knee killer! I swear by my trekking poles and wear a knee brace on the downhill. Anyone else have tips for saving the knees?

Putting anything to this audio makes it feel WAY m Putting anything to this audio makes it feel WAY more epic! Feeling pretty lucky to get to do as many adventures as I do!

Does anyone else have an internal soundtrack running while doing cool shit? I never get to choose the song and it’s never as cool as this one šŸ˜‚ 

On my last adventure, it was Don’t be a Duck by Ten Foot Pole šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
