In July 2023, I set off alone with my dog to thru hike 567 miles from Denver back to my home in Durango (completing both sides of the collegiate loops thus the extra miles.) My dog Indy unfortunate had to be taken off the trail in Twin Lakes leaving me to finish my first thru hike alone.

26 days from start to finish, I had one of the most peace and easy experiences of my life. I was lucky to only get rained on a few times and to make incredible trail family along the way.

A huge thank you to Nemo Equipment and Skratch Labs for gifting me the gear and supplements I needed to do something I've dreamed about for years.

and a huge thank you to you for watching my journey and listening to my story. You are enough.
