I'm Leah. I got started hiking in the White Mountains and Adirondacks and cut my teeth bagging the NH48 and ADK46, often via bushwhack heading up slides. The Appalachian Trail seems like a fantastic way to experience a wide diversity of what the East coast has to offer while having an adventure, so this year I'm heading from Alabama to Maine. Along the way I'm attempting to keep track of all the different species of wildflower I can identify. My trail name, Spiderwort, comes from the first type of flower that I found with thousands in bloom and spent an afternoon looking at the similarities and differences between spiderwort plants.
