My name is Jenn. Or Zebra. I like to walk. And eat. Thus... thru-hiking. I hiked the PCT NOBO in 2017 and SOBO in 2018. In 2020 I hiked the Tahoe Rim Trail, the Colorado Trail, and the Arizona Trail. In 2021 I hiked the AT SOBO and in 2022 I hiked the CDT SOBO. In 2023 I hiked the Uinta Highline Trail and the Oregon Desert Trail and in 2024 I hiked the Oregon Coast Trail, the Bigfoot Trail, and the Northern New Mexico Loop.
