Backpacking solo has been an incredibly fun and rewarding experience, but it definitely took time before I was ready to go on longer trips.

This trail will lick you. And just you think it's given you all it's got... it'll come right back and lick you again!

After finishing a thru-hike of the Art Loeb, I wanted to share my experience, and give an update on info I used to plan this hike.

The day had a bit of a rough start, but after a quick detour to the Shining Rock things were looking up...

It's 76.2 miles from Oconee State Park to Table Rock State Park. That's like 3 marathons back to back! It's not easy, but it's worth it.

Long distance hikes can be an incredible adventure, but it's hard to know where to start. So I want to share how I prepped for my thruhike

It's never fun when a journey comes to an end... but if it never ended, there couldn't be new adventures.

Not going to lie this was by far my favorite day on the trail! So many exciting events packed into just one day on the trail.

From the moment I first heard about the Foothills Trail, I wanted to hike it all the way through...

Here are some helpful tricks and tips for managing knots and tangles while backpacking and hiking.
