One of my favorite things about thru-hiking. Seeing sunsets are a regular occurrence. #sunset #thruhiking #trektheat #spyrock #optoutside

We’ve had a major shift in terrain type over the past few days. I can’t say I’m sorry to say goodbye those New England Mountains #atthruhike2017 #thetrek #trektheat

Met a few south bound hikers making their way down Crocker Mountain. Simba was riding comfortably in the pack. #appalachiantrail #hikemaine #crockermountain #longdistancehiking #traillife #thruhike #maineoutdoors #trektheat

"..It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.." . . . #theinvitation #oriahmountaindreamer #trektheat #whiteblaze #appalachiantrail2017 #newenglandautumn

Happy Halloween from Springer! I can't even fully comprehend this moment right now. There truly are no words. I am so thankful for every one who has been part of this journey with me; I couldn't have done it without each of you. I know I will miss many aspects of life on the trail… but for now I'm really enjoying this comfy bed, fluffy bathrobe, and cuddle time with my mom ❤️
