Miles Hiked: 7.7 Total Milage: 2047.6 This morning I still woke up early even though I didn’t have to hike out first thing in the morning. 12 pack and I walked to town to get breakfast around 7:30am. After that I looked at the map and did the math to see how much farther weContinueContinue reading “Day 120: Straight Shot to Canada”

Miles Hiked: 26.3 Total Milage: 2039.9 Today I left camp around 7am. It was later than I wanted to leave but I was really tired and needed some extra rest. The day started with an uphill climb up a very exposed field of sagebrush. We were on a dirt road for quite a while. AlmostContinueContinue reading “Day 118: Elk Mountain”

Miles Hiked: 24 Total Milage: 2013.6 Today I woke up and left camp around 7am. We took a road walk alternate to cut off about 5 miles of the trail. I was super happy about it because my legs were so tired from yesterday and I needed a little rest. The road walk was veryContinueContinue reading “Day 117: Spooky Lightning”

Miles Hiked: 30 Total Milage: 1989.6 Today I woke up early around 5am. I had all my things packed and ready to go by 6. The sunrise over the divide was so pretty. Our camping spot was just awesome last night despite the fact that I hardly had any water. The day started with twoContinueContinue reading “Day 116: Deadman Lake”

Miles Hiked: 19 Total Milage: 1959.6 Today I woke up still sleepy. Because the RV park was so close to the interstate I could hear very loud semi trucks going by all night and it kept me up. My tent was still soaking wet from all the rain yesterday. I ate some food for breakfastContinueContinue reading “Day 115: Blazing Hot Ridgelines”

Miles Hiked: 11.6 Total Milage: 1940.6 This morning I woke up at 4:45 am in hopes of making it to the highway in time to catch the shuttle at 9:30am. When I woke up I was so sore. I spent over 20 minutes stretching out before leaving to hike which definitely set me behind scheduleContinueContinue reading “Day 114: Lima, Montana”

Miles Hiked: 28.5 Total Milage: 1928.8 Today I was really looking forward to seeing my friend Cocoa on trail! I hiked a little bit of the AT with her in 2019. I sent her an inreach message last night and found out that we camped 20 miles apart from each other. The day started outContinueContinue reading “Day 113: AT Class of 2019/ Rock Spring”

Miles Hiked: 28.2 Total Milage: 1900 **To be completely honest I’m writing this blog post and the next two almost a week after this day. I was so tired during this stretch I totally neglected to write my blog and the days all feel like a complete blur. I’m recalling from memory as best IContinueContinue reading “Day 112: Red Rock Pass”

Miles Hiked: 15 Total Milage: 1846.3 This morning I woke up to an easy day to get to town. Even though it was easy I still took my time because I was so sore. 2 miles in to the day I crossed the Montana border. I will be walking along the Montana Idaho border forContinueContinue reading “Day 110: West Yellowstone”

Miles Hiked: 26.3 Total Milage: 1831.3 This morning I woke up at Summit Lake. My feet have started to hurt so I made sure to take my time doing stretches this morning. They were so painful it was a little alarming. All the muscles in my legs feels so tight. I packed up camp andContinueContinue reading “Day 109: Idaho!”

Miles Hiked: 20.1 Total Milage: 1778.5 Today I woke up a little earlier than the past few days. It was a cold morning. I packed up my things and hiked out of camp in my hoodie dress and my puffy jacket with my hands in my pockets because they were so freezing. I may pickContinueContinue reading “Day 107: Yellowstone National Park Day 2: Grant Village”

Miles Hiked: 20.9 Total Milage: 1758.4 Today I didn’t leave camp until almost 7am which feels so late compared to our normal early morning start. Since we only have to hike about 20 miles I wasn’t as concerned about getting that early of a start. I was also feeling very exhausted from yesterday still. IContinueContinue reading “Day 106: Yellowstone National Park Day 1 … Heart Lake”

Miles Hiked: 21.8 Total Milage: 1737.5 I didn’t set an alarm today but I woke up around 6am. 12 pack and I left camp together a little before 7am. The first two miles were through a field of flowers and lots of dead burned trees. 12 pack was in front of me when I sawContinueContinue reading “Day 105: Grizzly Glimpse”
