I’m a 28 year old thru hiker who has walked over 12,000 miles. I embarked on my first thru hike back in 2017 in between semesters of college; hiking 1300 miles of the PCT. Then in 2022 I went back and hiked the entire PCT again. The following year in 2023 I hiked the entire 5,600 mile eastern continental trail. Which stretches from Key West, Florida all the way to Newfoundland, Canada. When I completed that trek I became the 2nd woman in history to hike the entire trail. In 2024 I completed my triple crown, after completing the CDT! Now in 2025 I’m starting down in key west to begin the “border to border” calendar year triple crown! First I’ll walk Key west to Canada, then the PCT, then the CDT, all in 1 year!
