Hey! I'm Robin, also known as "Indy" on trail. My pronouns are they/she. I fell in love with thru-hiking on the PCT in 2022 and kept on walking. Some trails I've completed since are the Great Himalaya Trail, Colorado Trail, Tahoe Rim Trail, and Wonderland Trail. I'm an archaeologist by trade and a plant & fungi enthusiast. I'll be hiking the Continental Divide Trail SOBO in 2026 and blogging along the way!
