Bailee Latulippe

Hi there! My name is Bailee, also know as “Cruiser” on trail. In March, I left my home, friends and family in Pittsburgh, to head to Amicalola Falls in Georgia. On a chilly Saturday morning, I said goodbye to my wife and started following the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail. I hope you'll enjoy reading some of my insights as I gain them along the way to Maine. Happy trails!!
