Jen Brown

I’m Jen! This year I’ll be hiking the Appalachian trail along with my fiancé. I am leaving my position as a software engineer to pursue my Triple Crown over the next two years. I completed the Continental Divide Trail SOBO and partly solo in 2021, and hiked the John Muir Trail plus Mt. Whitney in 2022. After living in the “real world” for a while, I am itching to return to trail. There’s nothing like being smelly, sweaty, and hungry in the backcountry! I plan on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and earning my Triple Crown in 2025. Join me on my journey here and on Instagram and Youtube --> @jenbrownhikes
