😱⬇️💦 Water Fall

Hi, I’m Kelly, aka 😱⬇️💦 Water Fall on the trail. My wilderness backpacking adventures began in my backyard: the beautiful Sawtooths and White Clouds of central Idaho. Hikes in neighboring Western states later followed, including the Teton Crest Trail, John Muir Trail, and Collegiate Loop. I’ve also trekked several international routes, including the classic Inca Trail, the W Trek, the Everest Base Camp Trek, and the Lemosho Route to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This year, I’ll be hiking the Colorado Trail, my longest thru-hike yet. I’m excited about the hike and about engaging with The Trek community. Happy trails!
