Spicy

Hi there! I’m Spicy, I’m a 26-year-old, cat-loving, UL-yapping, outdoorsy human. In 2024, I hiked the PCT, and I'm getting the itch again, so I’m currently preparing for a CDT thru hike in 2026.

Why I’m Hiking the CDT in 2026

Hiking the PCT in 2024 didn't fix me. It did show me how much I love thru hiking. I can't wait to chase this love to the CDT.
