Shannon Gleespen

My name is Shannon (aka Wheezy Rabbit). I am a Colorado Trail thru-hiker, AT section hiker, rock climber, trail runner, artist, outdoor professional, and most importantly a mom. I am heading out to the Wonderland Trail this snowy 2024 season, in hopes of completing another solo thru hike. I am looking forward to sharing gear choices, logistics, and my experience in the backcountry with you all.
