This week we take a look at photos snapped between 09/12/16 – 09/19/16.

I’ve had this urge to swim in about every swimming hole I find. No matter the water temperature as long as the suns out I’m swimming.

Seriously the most stunning #sunrise this morning over Bald Mountain Pond. With only a week left to go, I have fallen in love with sleeping next to water in Maine, drifting off to the sound of loons calling, and waking up to skies that take my breath away. . . . . . #appalachiantrail #at2016 #thruhike #nobo #georgiatomaine #appalachiantrials #optoutside #outdoorlife #nature #earthporn #backpacking #hiking #inspire #inspiration #adventure #rei1440project #hikingtheat #lightweightbackpacking #goplayoutside #keepitwild #campvibes #wildernessculture #exploremore #womenwhohike #lightweightbackpack #ultralightbackpacking #vegan #nomeatathlete
