Joshua Tree National Park #GirlsWhoHike
Thinking about visiting Joshua Tree National Park and do not know what to expect? Are you used to visiting different types of ecosystems filled with trees, lakes, and mountains? Does the hot weather and the vast expanses of land deter you from visiting?
Bonded for life.
I want my first post post-TCT to be about the scariest thing imaginable….the hiking buddy you never met before.
Yes. I posted about my trip on FB (so I would not have to go alone) and a random girl committed to the whole trip from Day 1.

Trans-Catalina Trail: The Beginning
So I had a boyfriend, once upon a time. Many moons ago. Still single AF now…but anyways, haha.

Havasupai – A Beginner’s Recap.
So let me just start by saying that I had NO camping experience, much less backpacking experience. In fact, in preparation for this trip, I went on ONE hike that was about seven miles long and just a couple hundred feet in elevation. That is it. Read More
